Gen Flynn's sister Mary's grandchild was injured. The child would be General Flynn's grandniece. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Also, slow response from local fire department due to understaffing. It's been an ongoing problem here.

Correct. It is not Flynn's house. It's the house where his sister Mary's grandchildren live.

Health Insurance Mandate Takes Effect in RI Despite Federal Courts Striking Down the Provision

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI/AP) — Rhode Island residents must now have health insurance or face a penalty on their taxes.

The state’s taxation division released a list of tax changes taking effect Wednesday, including the new health insurance mandate.

Residents who do not have minimum essential coverage in 2020, and do not qualify for an exemption, will face a penalty next year when filing a state tax return for 2020.

“What this penalty and mandate are about is making sure everyone stays covered, you never know when you’re going to need health insurance,” HealthSource RI’s Lindsay Lang said.

A federal appeals court ruling this month struck down the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that people have health insurance.

Rhode Island enacted the requirement and penalty in the state.

Open enrollment is closed for 2020, but Lang said there are many circumstances where residents may qualify for special enrollment.
