Today's radio show on WARL 1320 and Blog Talk Radio

Features one of my rotating co-host, Jim Murphy from RI College as we look at an educational bond in the State asking for 50m to remodel facilities on campus, and use that issue to take a much broader look at how,  here in the US, we currently finance public schools, and take suggestions on how we can improve the financing model for education in the future.

Feel free to listen and send us emails or questions through our social media sites.  Just look for Renewable Now on the web.

Also, this just hit our desk this morning and will be the subject matter for a future show:  Of course, that show will look at how other states evaluate their government's green focus and progress.

You can find the report at ECRI's site or request a copy from us:
