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 cannot afford to pay their debts, why will the state be able to afford it? Some of these municipalities need bankruptcy in order to escape unsustainable contracts while protecting those already retired. Moviing these debts to the state only hastens the state's own default." — Joe Richer, commenting on OP ED: Let's Work on Municipal Pension Reform Next

North Kingstown: "There are not a lot of professionals out there that would be willing to sacrifice their family time to help the lives of others, which I am sure includes those in the town council. Before a decision is made, please take into consideration that vote effects more than just the town budget. You are essentially affecting 2 or more lives. Can you put a dollar amount on the importance of your family, because I certainly cannot." — BS0925, commenting on Council To Consider 24-hour Shifts for Firefighters

South Kingstown: "Somedays, I miss the time in the car to think about obtuse things." — Frank Murphy, commenting on Poll: How Long is Your Commute?
