PROVIDENCE — The General Assembly may meet again this year to complete its unfinished business, including passing a budget for fiscal 2018, but its results in the environmental sector to this point are somewhat lopsided. Nothing passed to alter the course of the proposed Burrillville fossil fuel power plant, but renewable energy had a strong session, with six bills approved.

Without a budget, funds “scooped” from state agencies to help the general fund — $1 million from the Infrastructure Bank; $5 million from the Narragansett Bay Commission; $12.5 million from energy-efficiency programs — remain in limbo.
