New Mexico Treasurer Laura Montoya and Dr. Darrick Hamilton publish op-ed promoting Baby Bonds and highlighting the limits of Trump Accounts to address the wealth divide

More than 9,000 Rhode Islanders have had $16.3 million in medical debt forgiven in the 19 months since the state debt relief program began, Rhode Island General Treasurer James Diossa’s office announced last week.
The update on July 8 comes nearly two years after state lawmakers created the Rhode Island Medical Debt Relief Program, with a $1 million appropriation in the state’s fiscal 2025 budget. Nearly three-quarters of the initial funding, $700,000, is still available, with $300,000 spent since the program launched in October 2024, Carla Rojo, a spokesperson for Diossa’s office, said in an email.
