It is time to break passive agressive behavior and this woman needs to be investigated, to see if she received any funds illegally or unethically. I hope the people vote her out if she is not found guilty of criminal behavior.

I wish the public school teachers would own up that as a group they are incompent and are just looking for a handout. Give parents school vouchers and allow us to pick the schools we want our kids to attend. Close down the poor performing schools and fire the public school teachers .whose students are doing poorly. Take away tenure, the best motivator for someone to do a good job is the threat of being fired. After that every year the bottom 5% of the public school teachers need to be fired every year. Since when is the word motivator a curse word?

Government cannot do anything appropriately. After 9/11 a hijacker would be killed before he could get to the cockpit. Human behavior of survial and experience will kick in.

I would like to see the ACLU stand up for the Forth, Fifth, and Eighth Amendment rights for air travlers and abolish the TSA and save the taxpayers money.

It is time to remove the Warwick police that run people off at the terminal. At the south end of the arrivals section people should be able to wait . The TSA is the biggest boondoogle that has hired to many inept goons, that have made flying a nightmare. Another 9/11 will not happen because the people will not tolerate hijackers.

On that note I don't like to see products banned because an idiot used them in an area that has structures too close to each other. Woonsockett as most old mill towns have too many buildings that are obsolete, decrepit and should have been torn down 40 years ago.

Between the gang fights and the arsons, Providence is a dead city.

Next, I wish they would name his brother. I would like to buy a term life insurance policy on him. He most likely will be killed by the end of summer.

That means allocate a set dollar amount to every child and allow the parents to pick the school where their kids go to get educated. It can be public, charter, private, or parochial. It is time to stop the social engineering that makes Rhode Island a backwater state run by buffoons in the General Assembly. Do yourselves a favor this November, vote anti-incumbent.

No one wants to be holding the bag on this property. Let Paolino have his name all over the empty buildings. He can build a empty empire that no business will rent.

Why do I get the feeling that the jury was made up of many public sector union types or some members of the jury were duressed into voting not guilty.

This legislative session there was no reduction in spending. Until the spending is reduced, cut, and programs completely elminated Rhode Island will see a exodus of people who work in the private sector. When that happens who pays the taxes? It is not the people who are getting assistance. The public sector employees get more compensation and benefit than they produce. Rhode Islander have to realize if the public sector and entitlement programs are not cut, Rhode Island is economically dead in the water.
