March 2, 2025 - Child Care Workers / Remembering RI's veterans & refugees / RI Poll

On this episode, the cost of child care can drive parents out of the workforce. For some, it’s more expensive than their mortgage or rent. Michelle San Miguel reports on a pilot program that is trying to bring those costs down by incentivizing people to work in Rhode Island’s child care industry. Then, Pamela Watts interviews veterans who served in Iraq more than two decades ago. Their real-life stories are playing a starring role on stage at Trinity Rep Theater in Providence in an original production called Someone Will Remember Us. Finally, on this episode of Weekly Insight, Michelle San Miguel and our contributor, WPRI 12's politics editor Ted Nesi look into ethics' allegations surrounding Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and his wife's work, and they discuss what a poll by the State’s largest union group reveals.
