Speakers:

The Providence City Ordinance Committee held a public hearing on Nov. 13 on a proposed ordinance to add a $300 annual student impact fee on properties exclusively housing students; council took testimony but did not vote. Supporters said the fee would hold investor landlords accountable and fund a home-repair program; opponents warned it functions as a tax, could be passed to students and harm small landlords and local businesses.
