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."
Bringing It Together, Downtown, Chester Smolski
Bringing It Together, Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They came, they saw, they discussed, they analyzed, and they made their ideas known to the populace. Now they wait for further comments from the citizenry before they provide their final written report in January."
Redistricting Law And Minority Rights, Chester Smolski
Redistricting Law And Minority Rights, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been referred to as "probably the most important civil rights law on the books," and the results of that legislation are most impressive. But more importantly, the Voting Rights Act promises to have an even greater influence in the coming decade."
Watch The Process, Chester Smolski
Watch The Process, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The reason for the 1990 census is now at hand: The Reapportionment Commission is in place, and the process has just begun. The redrawing of local state and congressional boundary lines that define districts by populations to be represented at these three levels of government is upon us, and bears close watching."
Attacking Geographic Illiteracy, Chester Smolski
Attacking Geographic Illiteracy, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been clearly demonstrated through numerous surveys that US residents are among the most geographically illiterate people in the world. Whether trying to locate our own country or the Soviet Union on a world map, we score among the lowest of the major industrial nations of the world in such a simple exercise. But the future looks brighter, both in the nation and in Rhode Island, thanks to the efforts of the National Geographic Society.
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."
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."
