On this episode, Michelle San Miguel and Jeremy Bernfeld have an in-depth report on our continuing investigation into the Washington Bridge.

Then, our contributor Anaridis Rodriguez and producer Isabella Jibilian report on how violence affects young people’s mental health and how the Nonviolence Institute in Providence is working with them and teaching them how to cope in nonviolent ways. Finally, Michelle San Miguel and our contributor, WPRI 12’s Politics Editor Ted Nesi explain why lawmaker have about $65 million dollars more to work with to craft the budget than they anticipated.
