Directing a portion of the settlement funds towards the town's groundwater resources at Saw Mill Pond would greatly benefit North Kingstown's groundwater resource.

There has been an effort made and some people do know that it's being scrutinized. It has helped that everybody knows that this is being looked at.

It takes 16 weeks to train a firefighter. I'm concerned that we'll have people on the department who are not fully trained. Unless we start hiring, we'll never get to what Matrix is recommending.

I'm not happy having to discuss these changes with these people. These are very tough decisions to make for me.
