Radio Beacon, Episode 10 - Joseph Paolino Jr.

To start this week's episode, Cranston Herald editor Dan Kittredge and Johnston Sun Rise editor Jacob Marrocco round up the week's local headlines, including the lifting of the state’s stay-at-home order, how municipal budgets are shaping up, and how the community continues to respond to the pandemic.

Then, Dan speaks with Joe Paolino, former Providence mayor and managing partner of Paolino Properties, about his long record in public life; the innovative new health screening and safety tools being installed at his company’s flagship building; the economic impact of the pandemic; and his political future.
