Where Did They All Go? R.I. Population Still Shrinking, Chester Smolski
Where Did They All Go? R.I. Population Still Shrinking, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Just how accurate are the U.S. Census Bureau estimates of the population, done every year between the actual count of population done every ten years? Well, we should soon be able to make comparisons of the recently released estimates for 1999 and the actual state totals when they are released at the end of this years, and when city and town figures are released April 1, 2001, exactly one year after the census of 2000."
A Tale Of Two Cities, Similar, But Also Quite Different, Chester Smolski
A Tale Of Two Cities, Similar, But Also Quite Different, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Five years ago I wrote a column for this paper about a visit to Worcester, especially to explore the newly opened Worcester Fashion Common OUtlets. When I told my daughter who works in the area that I was going for a weekend in Worcester, she asked 'Why?' The report that I wrote was not a positive one."
Measuring Up Rhode Island, Chester Smolski
Measuring Up Rhode Island, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Among its several distinctive characteristics is Rhode Island's small size. The smallest state gives its residents a distorted perception of distance (a trip to Woonsocket requires an overnight); is often used as a measure of scale (the fire burned an area the size of Rhode Island); and in the eyes of non-Rhode Islanders does not exist as a state (island off the coast of New York or a spot on the highway to Cape Cod)."
Congratulations On City's Renaissance, Chester Smolski
Congratulations On City's Renaissance, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The excellent and comprehensive front-page story on the Providence Renaissance by Bill Van Sicen in Sunday's Providence Journal of May 21, 2000, nicely brought together all of the exciting development from the recent past, the present, the planned future and the vision of what the long-term future might be for the capital city's center. And the map, which depicted the location of these 18 development sites, was impressive in the sense that so much of the downtown and nearby areas have been and will be affected by this development. Oh, how different from the recent past."
Tiger Woods, A Herald For The Blending Of The Races In U.S., Chester Smolski
Tiger Woods, A Herald For The Blending Of The Races In U.S., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Tiger Woods, perennial winner of gold tournaments, has a unique way of describing his ancestry. When asked his background, e claims to be a "Caublasin," i.e., Caucasoid, Black, Asian and Indian. But, in reality, the Tiger may not be unique in a country that is now moving toward becoming a blended multiracial society."
Sprawl Is The Enemy; Victory Might Need A March In Reverse, Chester Smolski
Sprawl Is The Enemy; Victory Might Need A March In Reverse, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"SPRAWL--the word even sounds ugly Webster's definition is "to spread out carelessly or awkwardly," and it might have added inefficiently and expensively. And that is exactly what is happening as development takes place in the suburbs of Rhode Island and throughout the country."
Accurate Census Count Critical For Ri, Chester Smolski
Accurate Census Count Critical For Ri, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"In his recent speech to the General Assembly outlining his proposed budget for the next fiscal year starting on July 1, Governor Almond's proposal for a $2.3 billion state spending package will require an increase of $97.2 million over this year. meanwhile there will be a small decrease in the state income tax. Beyond increased spending and reduced state income taxes there is another variable that will affect the state budget, but that opportunity comes only this year."
Where Are We Going? Tv Show Seeks Answers, Chester Smolski
Where Are We Going? Tv Show Seeks Answers, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"How will the future Rhode Island look, and will it be better than today? Where will new development take place? How will this development affect cities and towns? Will there be adequate and affordable housing, and where will it be built? Will there be enough land available for future growth, as well as water, sewers, roads and other infrastructure to accommodate this additional population? And will communities try to prevent growth or work to accommodate it? The future is in our hands, and how we address such issues will determine how well our children will live in the not too …
After The Count Is Over, It's Time To Reapportion The House, Chester Smolski
After The Count Is Over, It's Time To Reapportion The House, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"In a few weeks more than 100 million households in the country will be receiving an invitation from the U.S. Census Bureau to tell something about themselves. And it is important that all respond to this invitation because it means federal money to be distributed for improvements to your state and local community, based upon the numbers counted."
