Speak-Out: Mosquito moats, ‘Greedy’ school partners, and more

Posted

I’d like to find out who can help us here on St. Theresa Street. We have MOSQUITO MOATS all on St. Theresa’s, extended out to Butterworth off Metacom Avenue. And it is horrible. Mosquitoes like you wouldn’t believe. These are drains out in front of the new houses that are being build in the plat. It’s Awful, awful. Who can help us? We’re not going to be able to go in our yards this summer. I hope somebody can find a way to help us.

The chickens are coming home to roost for the people who VOTED FOR REGIONALIZATION.

This is to Mr. Connelly, and his museum ENSHRINING WHITE MEN, gangsters and politicians, all Democratic, of Rhode Island. $10 million? Have you people lost your mind? I will never vote for that. Maybe you should pay a little more attention to the Bristol Warren School system. And then now we have a catastrophic problem on our hands. Maybe you should be worrying about those things. Or the swill that the schools feed the kids in this town. $10 million to enshrine politicians. The RI Heritage Hall of Fame … the last posting was all white men. No, do something to help somebody, OK?

This is in reference to the article that Bristol owes double. Warren, be happy that you won the suit and the formula will be streamed out in your favor. Understand when you were down and out, and the schools in Warren were about closing and no other town wanted to take your children in, Bristol stepped up to the plate, and Bristol regionalized with you and saved you, Warren, from a dilemma. LET’S BE HUMAN AND NOT BE GREEDY, because you will lose for being greedy.
