There is a brilliant burst of color and creativity that brightens this small local park in downtown Rochester. Prior to it's installation several weeks ago, many crafters worked for months to create large scale knitted and crocheted artwork. Parts of this magnificent community collaboration (the tree decorations and the stop sign piece) are now being forcibly taken down after the City of Rochester backpedaled it's permission over the last week, and they want ALL the artwork gone by labor day (September 3rd). The installation brightens the community, and is a sign of what makes Rochester so welcoming and hopeful. This artwork is not in the way of anyone or hindering anything, and it should not be taken down!

Voters have made numerous attempts to contact the Governor and her campaign -- in-person, through dozens of calls to her office, and through the press. But she still refuses to agree to debate. We are signing this as a concerned citizens, asking the Governor to agree to three debates before the Democratic primary on September 12, for the good of the state and the electorate. This petition is sponsored by Our Revolution Rhode Island and Rhode Island Progressive Democrats.

We feel that a Public pool in Durand would be a wonderful addition for our great town. It can help grow our local economy. Bring more families into Durand. Give people of ALL ages a place to go. We would really like to give the children a local place (other then the parks, GREAT for little kids but not so much older kids.)to hang out and have fun.

Trump is a liar and is Dividing this Country.

Federal law prohibits obscene, indecent and profane content from being broadcast on the radio or TV. Yet more and more in scripts and theme songs the use of the "N" word is not just being allowed but encouraged. As a well educated black man, I find it profoundly offensive network and cable stations are with increasing frequency infecting the world with this hateful destructive word. Their justification: As long as it's spoken or sung by a black person. It doesn't seem to matter this word only falls out the faces of the most ignorant, uneducated, uncultured, illiterate among us. As long as they are black, as far as they are concerned, it's fine. IT'S NOT

In order to make a commitment to cycling as a transportation option it is important to put this on the books. More than 30 years after Idaho passed its law, the evidence suggests that it is a safe and effective reform. In 2008, Jason Meggs contacted Idaho’s Office of Highway and Traffic Safety and analyzed statewide yearly summaries of traffic injuries and fatalities, including summaries by county and mode. His analysis found no evidence of a long-term increase in injury or fatality rates as a result of the adoption of the “Idaho stop” law. In 1983, the year after the law was adopted, bicycle injury rates declined by 14.5 percent and there was no change in the number of bicycle fatalities. When bicyclists in Idaho approach a stop sign they: 1. Slow down, and if required for safety, stop. 2. Yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching, if the approaching vehicle will create a hazard while they cross the intersection. 3. Proceed after appropriately slowing and yielding without stopping. When cyclists in Idaho approach a red light they: 1. Stop. 2. Yield to all other traffic. 3. Proceed through the red light with caution.

Fire danger is real and it is irresponsible to permit the sale and use of fireworks in our community.

Protecting our health should be our number one priority! This non-permanent fence will protect me from these wild animals. I wish it was as simple as spraying the area; but that just doesn't exist. Please help me save our non-permanent fence!!!!!

Marching On was a concert showcase put on by the school district for our community, comprised of each school's choir, band, and color guard programs. This event not only enriched our children's educational experience, but also gave them an outlet of expression, along with the chance to take pride in their hard work through performing. Marching On gave students of all grades a sense of community, taught us to take pride in our hard work, and gave us the chance to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.
