My prediction is that it will never happen.The community will never allow it.They tune out and only hear what they want to hear and never are open to reason.
Rhode islanders are notorious for this!! They said no to a casino,they said no to a football stadium,they said no to a wendys??? They say no to commercial fishing and just about anything else government brings up.
The flip is however that they all want to reap the benifits of the whatever is being proposed as long as its located on the moon!! And we wonder why half the rhode island population works in massachuttes???? Because nothing is allowed here.Im not a fan of government but, sometimes,just once every millenium they do come up with a good idea or money maker for the state and the residents always shoot it down,The resistance to change in this state is so powerfull that many new buisnes's wont even take a look here!! They fear getting shot!! And all rhode islanders wonder why there tax's are so high!! Its because no new industry is not allowed to flurish here and create jobs and releve tax burdens.Its great to have all this open space to look at but, you will be paying for it so, dont complain!!
We all want the criminals locked up but, we wont allow a new prison facility anywhere?? what gives? We want our roads repaired and when the work starts we all complain and lose tempers..I dont understand that?? The reason they do the work in the first place is because the public passed the road work bonds!! Then all the stores complain for years how the road is bad for there customers,Once the road work starts they complain that they are losing buissness?? Its a catch 22 for lots of these state officials.
I have seen these officials get beat up so bad at fishery meetings from ignorant participants that I would give them a medal for being there!!Its always the same ,Lots of showboating and yelling and never getting anyplace in the middle.Thats why I dont waste my time anymore.
This dumping is going to turn into the same thing,Ignorence fueled by short tempers and the city will give and the marinas will suffer.I really dont care what they do but, at least listen to what they have to say.
On the dumping problem,There are any countless number of marinas in the warwick area alone yet,the people who use them are the same people complaining about dumping the dredge.They want there marinas but not the dumping?? Cant have yur cake and eat it too!!
This state needs to get with the times and look at things with more of an open mind.
This dumping issue has the potential to turn into a great soap opera!! I can see it now, The diggers are going to want compensation for not being able to work, The fisherman are going to go crazy!! Certain clubs are going to look like the hero coming to the rescue,Therefore recruiting more members and padding there coffers!! Save the bay is going to say some kid got sick swimming in the "pristene" waters in barrington because of the dumping.The public is always going to think that the state is "pulling a fast one" on them no matter what they say! It will never matter.I thought the container port proposed for north kingston was a great idea,More shipping,more bussines, more tax being paid.But not to be!! We decided to save a couple of little necks instead.
As long as they let home depot grow, I will be happy as it is my favorite new toy store!!
