Keeping The Pols Honest With Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Keeping The Pols Honest With Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The New England Governor's Conference will hold a meeting in Hartford on December 6 to address regional economic issues that are common to the six states located in the northeast corner of the country. During that same week, the towns of Warren and Bristol in Rhode Island will hold public sentiment for the sharing of schools in the two towns. As disparate as these two meetings appear to be, there is a commonality of purpose that marks both: regionalism."
Seeing The City Through Suburban Eyes, Chester Smolski
Seeing The City Through Suburban Eyes, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"American cities are, in the minds of many, quite intimidating. They are congested, noisy, dirty, too difficult to drive in, and, of course, the home of muggers, rapists and murderers. For these and other reasons, too many people avoid the opportunities and fail to appreciate the joys that come with city experiences."
The Benefits Of Regionalization, Chester Smolski
The Benefits Of Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Bristol County is unusual among Rhode Island's five counties. Not only is it contiguous with a county of the same name in an adjoining state, but it also consists of only three towns--Barrington, Warren and Bristol--and is one of the smallest of the 3,141 counties in this country."
Some Thoughts On Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Some Thoughts On Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"New Englanders pride themselves on their self-reliance, their fortitude, their independance and, some would say, their obstinacy. Generally good qualities, but they come at a price: not cooperating with others around you. And this has been a tradition in this part of the country since its founding.
But now the 39 cities and towns are faced with severe cutbacks in funding from federal and state sources, and major questions are being raised by taxpayers who are expressing their anger by voting to reduce all types of programs, especially the biggest expense in most communities--the schools."
The Numbers Game: An Ethnic Mish-Mash, Chester Smolski
The Numbers Game: An Ethnic Mish-Mash, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"St. Patrick and St. Joseph would have been pleased by the special day held in their honor at the State House recently. The General Assembly session was called off, corned beef and cabbage and Italian meatballs were served and speeches were given to recognize the contributions of the culturally and ethnically rich heritage of this small state of Rhode Island."
Census Numbers May Mean Money To Cities, Chester Smolski
Census Numbers May Mean Money To Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It looks like we're nearly there. The results of America's most costly census have been announced and many cities and states are not happy with them. A possible adjustment of figures will likely do little to placate them."
