Coventry: "In Coventry we need to change the mindset that next years new contract is a continuation of this ending contract. In the real world a contract has a shelf life with a start and end date. After the end date we start fresh. Get it??? A contract should not last for more years than you can guarantee the funding source within." — Coventry Voter, commenting on School Department Presentes 2013 Budget Cranston: "I must say that though there are charter issues that need to be sorted out, there is now NO representation for Ward 4.

To those who argue that we will just drive the job creators to move; we have bent over backwards over the last decade to give tax breaks and tax rate cuts to the wealthy. So where are the jobs?" W. Scott McCrae, commenting on Rep. Guthrie Calls for More Taxes From State's Wealthiest Cranston: "At least they are not robbing banks at gunpoint or people!!! I think they should be given a warning not arrested! Go after the real …

Coventry: "What's the hurry? It's only been 2 years? ...

It's no wonder why theres no money, sickening." — Dale B., commenting on RIDOT Released Laurel Avenue Bridge Construction Update Cranston: "I can't imagine how that little boy (who is the same age as my son) must have felt being in a van for 3 hours. He must have been petrified! This is not a simple mistake. You are dealing with children…

Coventry: "How does it take 5 MILLION dollars to repair roof(s)? Where are these numbers coming from? The figures that local towns, cities and even federal government come up with has always boggled my mind." — Denise Williams, Commenting on School Committee Adopts FY13 Budget Cranston: "Cranston’s school board should have spent your tax dollars more wisely, in service of children of Cranston, not in service of Christianity.

If it offends you do …

Coventry: "There is an upside for Coventry that to me way out weighs the pension issue. No police academy costs to the town as these officers are already certified. Very little OJT will be required to get them on patrol. And they bring a 20year career of experience and training with them that our PD will benefit from. Hopefully they get healthcare from their previous employers and that will save us $$ as well. Well done to our Chief for the insight to hire these trained officers." — coventry voter, commenting on Coventry PD Promotes Five Offciers; Swears In Three New Hires Cranston: "I'm …

Coventry:"Marijuana has proven medicinal purposes and needs to be taken seriously. We do not advocate pot heads but it can be regulated and taxed and help our economy and our sick, unlike cigarettes and alcohol. As with anything there are those that will abuse the system, that doesn't mean we can't find a way to make this work." — Robin, commenting on New Poll Shows Rhode Islanders Support Decriminalizing Marijuana Cranston: "Taxpayers of Cranston should kiss this developer's feet!

Coventry: Maybe he was visited by the political ghosts that are now haunting him because of his past discretions like Ebenezer Scrooge. Maybe his bucket list includes telling the truth about the corruption, back room deals, and political heavy handedness that has plagued Coventry for 25 years or so. Maybe he just woke up one day and said “Today and every day I’m going to make it right.” — Coventry Voter, commenting on Setting The Record Straight Cranston: "Not only is Jessica correct in law, the law is there for a good reason." — Mary, commenting on As Committee Nears Appeal Decision, Banner …

Coventry: "They do not kill for sport. They do kill to eat and teach, they teach their offspring to hunt and kill by example often multiple times in the same night if the opportunity presents. These animals were imported into New England to combat the porcupine population years ago. Think about it, if you are hungry and had to choose a meal to hunt, would you go for the porcupine or the rabbit, pheasant, chicken, house cat, or small dog or lamb." — coventry voter, commenting on Letter to the Editor: Help Local Farmer Decimated by Fisher Cat Attack Cranston: "So...if our 36 cities and towns …
