READER ROUNDUP: Catch These 'Animals'

Johnston: "I would not be surprised if it is the same "animals" that have been going through our "once" quiet neighborhood and egging every car on the streets. I hope these sick, immature "kids' get caught and they get punished "BIG" time for all this damage and destruction in town. I hope the Mayor stands by his words and will catch these "animals." — JT, commenting on Mayor To Vandals: We Will Find You

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. Frank Lombardi, Michael Traficante, Andrea Ianazzi, and Paula MacFarland put indoctrination before education, and scorned our Constitution and our religious liberty. And now Cranston taxpayers will pay the price of their arrogance." — Robin Lionheart, commenting on District Agrees To Pay ACLU $150,000

East Greenwich: "Leaving East Greenwich in favor of Fall River....things sure have changed!" — Mark Thompson, commenting on Custom House Coffee Closes

Narragansett-South Kingstown: "With due respect, they had TWO POUNDS of marijuana. They're not using that amount recreationally, and if marijuana were legal, they would find another illegal way to make cash they don't have to report to the IRS." — rm, commenting on Two Pounds of Pot Found At Home of URI Students

North Kingstown: "VERY happy to see constructive dialog and understandable, respectful communication on this issue above ...  If we try to continue this discussion along these lines (if that's possible) we ALL may be able to learn some things and may even be able to continue it to other divisive issues within the town with other town "officials." — Noreswindnk, commenting on Letter: Welch Comments on Comments

Woonsocket: "The time for leadership is over. Our local government will all be out of a job in the next month. The city has run out of money, and has no way of raising enough money to pay the creditors and bill collectors in time to avoid bankruptcy. The city has no other option than to go into bankruptcy and deal with the consequences." — Steve, commenting on Mayor: Bankrtuptcy Is On The Table
