Easy to see why the AP history & civics students of East Providence HS revered @GreggAmore1/@RISecState. He showed his chops at our conference this morning. The main takeaway? Democracy is strong when we nurture it, but fragile when we take it for granted. cc: @tanzister

Had to stop by Cafe Amore in Pawtucket last week! We came for the name on the sign but stayed for the delicious food, great service, and extravagant coffee. Secretary Amore presented owner Heather Gwynn with a citation to recognize her and her team for their recent opening.
