(WJAR) — A Rhode Island family is getting their money back after being charged thousands of dollars for a loved one’s nursing home room after she died, a common practice among nursing homes and assisted living facilities that often leave grieving families with an extra expense. Jennifer Dyson’s mother, Kathleen Carter, was living at The Highlands on the East Side in Providence when her health took a turn for the worse. She died on Feb. 24, days after moving into hospice.

(WJAR) — Holding the government accountable isn't always easy in Rhode Island. Red tape in the public records law often blocks reporters and the public from getting vital information, but there's now an effort at the State House to change that. The Access to Public Records Act, or APRA, is the key tool reporters use to bring critical information to light. But with over 30 exemptions, potential fees, and deadline extensions, requests can take months—or be denied altogether.

(WJAR) — Some substitute teachers are changing districts after their pay was slashed in Providence this academic year. The district dropped daily sub rates from $140 to $130, catching many substitute teachers by surprise. Phe Mackessy, a per diem sub in Providence, said they were notified about the pay cut just days before the first day of school. “About six days before we started the school year, they told us, hey, we are cutting your pay $10 an hour,” Mackessy said.

#ICYMI - A state law says state settlements must go to the general fund, but that didn't happen in a recent case. I looked into the legality @NBC10 https://t.co/nFyAxdG0QX
Did A.G. Neronha have the authority to direct $10 mil in Barletta settlement funds to the Rhode Island Foundation? 👇This state law says no, but Neronha argues it has no legs. I dig deeper into questions being raised at the State House on @NBC10 at 6 https://t.co/wQFz99uCeA
Clauses like this 👇are common in contracts for nursing homes - essentially leaving families on the hook for another payment after their loved one dies. Tonight at 6, how I helped a family get their $ back AND how the story encouraged a local lawmaker to try and stop this @NBC10 https://t.co/iODxzKvtBS
