I Don’t Suppose We Can Blame This On a Lack of Local Ownership
From an unsigned editorial in today’s Projo…
It is time to consider consolidating many more town and city services regionally. To that end, it might be time to revive Rhode Island’s four counties — Providence, Kent, Bristol and Washington (aka South County) to provide local services.Um, what happened to Newport County?
ALSO . . . by law, South County is NOT synonymous with Washington County, although the two are often used interchangeabley in conversation.

Evidently the ProJo didn't get the memo until just before print and only had time to remove the new name.
Where is Procaccianti County? Why it's in the state of Rhode, of course! :)
