The mayor of Providence, R.I., Jorge Elorza, is back on his reparations kick, seeking to spend about $10 million on reparations as a first step to try to “right the wrongs of the past” for the capital city’s black and indigenous populations.
The money would come from unspent Covid-relief funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, even though the spending would have nothing to do with Covid. With an estimated 33,000 people qualifying in Providence, a meaningless $300 per person would be distributed.
