North Kingstown: "It is beyond comprehension why any TC members would support this development. Bottom line for me is the developer purchased this land knowing full well it WAS NOT zoned for the use he had in mind...he took a risk....there is no way the residents of NK should be held holding the bag for their poor investment risk." — seed and soil, commenting on Residents Don't Want a Village Center at Rolling Greens

South Kingstown:"The ARLSRI is located at 506B Curtis Corner Rd. This is where you will find Rocky and many other homeless pets waiting for a new family to love them!" — Tammy Walter, commenting on Rocky Is our CHAMP!

Woonsocket: "I want a school committee person who has knowledge of what the schools are really like - not some "drive-by education experts" who have never seen the inside of a classroom, or someone who is using this as a stepping stone to "bigger and better." — Imzadi, commenting on Issues Breakdown: School Committee Candidates Navigate Forum Questions
