To read the papers and to listen to the news... one would think the country is in terrible trouble. You do not get that impression when you travel the back roads and the small towns do care about their country and wish it well.

Charles Kuralt

Enforcement is up to the towns.

Bonnie Osborn

The two towns are very much interested in doing this as a cooperative venture.

Tom Maziarz

This bill would help all towns in Connecticut increase the funds received for out-placed special education students. The programs are mandated but the state isn't mandated to pay.

Ann Murphy

The Agency of Natural Resources has real concerns about it, the League of Cities and Towns has real concerns about it.

Sen. Susan Bartlett

You have to evoke a sense of responsibility in the townspeople to participate in the government. But the bottom line is that it's an individual choice. An open town meeting is more time-consuming than other types of government we conduct, but I don't think it's too much to ask residents in towns that still have a town meeting to participate.

Michael Starn

There are several hundred municipal mandates in Connecticut. Many of these are partially funded or unfunded and are problematic and unfair because they create financial burdens that cost taxpayers money. Cities and towns have only two ways to pay for these mandates: increase taxes and fees or cut programs and services.

Peter Gioia

They've just been wonderful to work with and they are really encouraging us on this project. That attitude was refreshing, having worked in a lot of towns that are more difficult to work with.

Mikal Torgerson

There are actually people there starting to try to rebuild and they need as much support as they can get, ... We wanted to go where there are smaller towns that were hit hard and are depending on church groups.

Larry Allen

Most people here like to talk about Greenville. In other towns, they might not have anything to say about the city, and that's the difference.

Nancy Dudak

Every year, regardless of whether the timber industry is struggling or the fishing industry is struggling, one stable factor has always been this game. Economy-wise, we've been through more than our share of tough stretches, but this has always been something for the towns to rally around when times haven't been good.

Dave Smith

Small towns usually make sure their places of doom disappear. But that's not the case here: In West Warwick, what used to be a tavern is now an ad hoc cemetery -- which is the role taverns play in most small towns, but not as obviously as this.

Chuck Klosterman

What you're seeing is that Americans are using rental cars in their home towns for many needs well beyond replacing their own vehicle while it's in the shop. For example, consumers are renting in neighborhoods for corporate needs, driving vacations, an extra car, or a different kind of car.

Patrick Farrell

The cities and towns have paid to train the officers. They will have to pay to train their replacements.

Andrea Johnson

Towns get hammered with exorbitant increases in special education costs year to year. Another significant problem is the continued lack of full funding needed for the No Child Left Behind Act. More and more of the burden is being thrust on property tax payers and towns.

Kevin Maloney

The earthquake was felt in several towns and villages of Gujarat state, but there were no reports of any damage or casualties.

Amit Shah

Just imagine how many villages and towns became a heap of rubble and how many people got buried.

Ahmed Khan

You look around those towns, and there are a lot of historic buildings that are built of that stone.

Bruce Brown

Do you think the other towns are going to believe an opinion issued by our attorney? Don't you think they'd prefer to seek an opinion from their own attorneys?

Stephanie Brown

People from small towns often identify with each other. There's a connection with people who grew up in small towns that I don't have with people who grew up in cities.

Sandra Malone

This is the essence of your town. It's the great strength or attribute that distinguishes it from other small towns.

Jack Schultz

It's not necessarily inappropriate to build new towns, but it's an issue that requires discussion and thought -- way beyond trying to craft something for an individual development.

Janet Bowman

What we are trying to do is raise awareness of the program. A lot of towns donate money to help the program, but not near the amount that we need. We wanted the people who participated to see first hand what the program does.

Sharon Willard

We always had a standing rule on economic development that towns didn't steal from each other. If they were going to do that, they didn't get any help from the state. I think the same thing should apply here.

Mike Blouin

Some towns have been without water for three days. The people are hoping that this is the start of a recovery.

Pieter Moller

It was one of dozens of mining campuses and towns throughout central Nevada that recharged this state's mining activity, comparable only to the great Comstock era.

Terri Mcbride

Liberty and civilisation have everywhere and at all times emanated from towns….

Friedrich List

Every time I look out the window, it's nothing but flat land and snow. But as far as the towns we've been in, they've been nice and the people have been great. I'm really enjoying getting to see so many Twins fans.

Jason Bartlett

We have a real opportunity here, and we have to capitalize on it. If we don't, other trail towns will and we'll miss the boat.

Ralph Wombacker

All 15 towns in the watershed that are up for new permits will get their new permits sometime in the coming year, hopefully by the spring. It will be interesting to see how many then ask for administrative law review.

Bob Zimmerman

My clients have been held up for public criticism for no reason at all — except political motives. If (the town's) answer is a bunch of denials, we'll be in court.

Jonathan Lovett

It is an acknowledgement of the veterans' service. The fact that the towns are going to the full capacity, it's money, but it's also a gesture on their behalf to thank the veterans for the time they put on a uniform.

Jerry Donnellan

But I know he will serve the town's needs extremely well as road commissioner.

Andrew Gilmore

Michael Collins

As a result of these new conditions, the States, cities, and towns were welded together, and population and prosperity increased rapidly in those inland sections which had formerly languished because they had no means of easy and rapid communication.

John Moody

I talked with a contract reappraiser, but this item will be very expensive no matter how we pursue it. Some towns have seen a bill of $200,000 to $300,000 for reappraisal and we have not even begun to set money aside for it.

Mike Welch

Kids from the smaller towns had never seen anything like this; they thought it was the most original thing they had seen. Not so much in the bigger cities though. But people were really mesmerized.

Paul Heintz

The results may have been unintended but they are what they are: ZIP codes have always been a big factor in determining insurance costs — and now it looks like it's going to be taken away. And let's face it, the urban areas have higher incidences of accidents, higher medical costs, higher legal costs and many more insurance claims than you're going to find in small towns.

Nancy Mcdonough

Right now it is the Wild West in health technology. You can do whatever you want to do and sort of shoot 'em out in all of the little towns.

Deborah Peel

This spread, with a sort of shock wave spreading across the country, shows up in the number of towns affected.

Michel Gaudin

Little towns tend to do a very bad job in these things. They tend to be driven by politics rather than what their own planning staffs may recommend. Another thing: They sometimes just copy what a neighboring community has done, and they have to be so individualized.

Gary Edinger

The ceremony was one of the largest events in the town's history.

Scott Marshall

In response to the town's invitation, the town's attorneys can expect to hear from Utopia to move this forward.

Christopher Thompson

How can we continue to improve Park City as a product in comparison to other resort towns . . . .

Joe Kernan

Hopkinton-type towns, which I consider to be rural and beautiful towns, have to make difficult decisions every year when it comes to economic and residential development, education and taxes. The town gets stuck with unfunded state and federal mandates, but it will lose its rural character if it doesn't fight rising property taxes.

Steve Laffey

Today there are fewer interactions between the fishing community and population as a whole, partly because there are fewer fisherman. But we've also changed. We're not truly rural anymore, in the sense of the occupations you now find here. We tend to be a lot of urban people living in small towns.

Ralph Brown

Having lived through the last year here, this is my advice to New Orleans and the other Gulf Coast towns: Don't make big camps with thousands of people, because it doesn't work. It takes a bad situation and, for many people, actually makes it worse.

Bob Hebert

This was a good area for boxing. A lot of these towns would have teams. It was the thing to do.

Weldon Benton

This is a real tough league with a lot of good football teams. We love being in this league. It's a lot of fun to go to some of these smaller towns where football is very important.

Rob Kittrell

Hopefully, other communities start to see that they have soldiers in similar situations in their towns, and that they can do the same thing. We need to show our troops that we support what they have sacrificed.

Mike Conklin

We think it is up to the people who live in each of these towns to bring pressure to bear on elected officials (about problems that need attention).

Tim Cline

All that money was supposed to go to cities and towns. Take the cap off the lottery.

Michael Callahan

Supporting Day Kimball Hospital is very easy for the bank, ... The hospital is the central healthcare facility for Northeastern Connecticut and serves the medical needs of the 13 towns. Helping the golf tournament is one way we feel we contribute to the overall operation.

David Conrad

We can't just dump this on the towns in 2007.

Scott Graham

If you were to buy a season ticket from Sterling, your family could then enjoy any of the other shows in those towns. Starting as early as September in Loveland and as late as May in Fort Morgan.

Tracy Trimble

A lot of towns are putting in growth controls so there are less places to build, less area to expand.

Gary Woods

It's ironic that we started out with a basic commitment to economic integration and then we get to a situation where we can pay off and never handle the larger social issue. The logic is to produce economically integrated towns all over New Jersey. We have to keep our eye on the ball here.

Doug Forrester

Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen.

Willa Cather

Towns have very little control over stopping annexations as the laws currently exist.

Dave Combs

The DRA is investing infrastructure and transportation because many towns were impacted by Katrina.

Pete Johnson

This tragic event has destroyed the homes and lives of many people - people I know, ... Many towns are experiencing this devastation and have yet to determine what, if any, buildings will be saved. We have to do something to help ease this burden.

Chris Duhon

Too many historic houses have been destroyed. I'd welcome any kind of effort to protect them. Our town's history definitely has to be preserved.

Jolinda Fox

Were very good (showing) strong family appeal with kids, particularly. It played stronger in metropolitan areas, which was a little (surprising) because I expected this to appeal (more) in smaller towns. You now have some room to grow with word of mouth in those smaller markets. Since we're in only (approximately) 2,000 runs, we will look at the possibility of adding a few runs.

Wayne Lewellen

Some towns have different fire ordinances, so residents should make sure they call the fire departments to find out what the regulations are.

Jay Aron

We're one of the fortunate towns that are growing, and that's providing (additional) operating funds ....

John Dowd

We never intended to go out and promote this but the sponsorship project was mentioned in one line, one subordinate clause, on the town's home page (Wednesday), and things took off.

Helge Sines

Both towns just sort of have a hatred for each other. Merced people think Modesto people think they're better than us.

Jeremy Garcia

The present system makes it completely impractical for towns and cities to form their own power companies. The new legislation makes it much more favorable and fair for that to occur.

Jim Sweeney

When large numbers of poor families started showing up in the central valley of California, and also in Los Angeles, at a time when the federal government was providing very little assistance, then the burden of caring for those new residents fell to those towns and cities, and sympathy dried up pretty quickly.

Gregory Davis

In this 30th anniversary year of Keep Australia Beautiful, we expect the competition between towns to be stronger than ever. The big challenge for our assessors always is to find a special town that has 'the edge' over the rest.

Matthew Taylor

This is right in line with other towns, and lower than many, such as Wilton and New Canaan. We had a very successful teachers' negotiation this fall.

Allen Fossbender

The process worked. You see this crowd. We created a strong interest in the problem of growth. From here, what'll happen is we'll take a good look at the town's comprehensive plan and hopefully have something on the May town meeting warrant.

Richard Nichols

Our coaches want to be left to get their own sponsors. It steals their potential advertisers and we're already scratching to get sponsors anyway because of where we live in-between two towns. It can be a struggle for us to find advertisers.

Jack Mccrory

It is a new day for the town. But we do need to make this resolution come alive and that will take the towns people. This is just the beginning.

Lindsay Mathews

Civilization is the art of living in towns of such size the everyone does not know everyone else.

Julian Jaynes

It is very odd that it would not have to go to a vote of the people like the three historic towns had to do.

Paul Harris

You will have significant variety up and down. You'll have towns with a low tax rate and low values matched up with towns with high values, but not necessarily high property-tax rates. . . . Where there is a clear ability to pay, with low rates, then those towns would be consequently impacted.

Tom Vincz

The problem we're having is that other towns are also asking for additional support as well. It's tough to get them.

Dennis Krill

The Massachusetts Lottery was created in 1971 to raise revenue for cities and towns.

Beth Bresnahan

People have heard of him in other towns. They stop in all the time to check him out.

Brian Heinzerling

This is a major issue in all our towns.

Delegate David Rudolph

The potential consolidation between the two towns in Orleans County may be the state's first step back to the future. This is the only way we can beat the economic death spiral gripping us all.

Kevin Gaughan

The people in country towns seem to have a high level of connection with one another, they have good relationships, the neighbors know their kids and look out for them.

Bob Cummins

That both could be nominated in Buffalo, their home towns, is something special.

Leonard Lenihan

We have examined all of our sources of intelligence, what towns and villages have been damaged primarily by fires set by the Serb forces as they've gone through, as well as by shooting them up with artillery and tanks and those kinds of things.

Thomas Wilson

It's the vanilla perception. The city doesn't have the sex appeal that the coastal towns have. We need to get over that aw-shucks attitude and start bragging about the good things we have here.

Bob Schultz

Small towns around us are alive and doing well. Franklin is slower. People just happen to find us. The first thing we need to do is get the people here.

Stephanie Andrews

There's a great sense of 'home rule' on the Cape, with the towns working independently on these [and other] issues.

George Price

Cities and towns need permission for truck bans.

Jon Carlisle

Sprawl is killing people, some 300,000 premature deaths annually because of the sprawl sedentary lifestyle, and it is killing our natural environment, scenic vistas, biodiversity, rural towns and much more.

Joel Hirschhorn

The American people have seen so much damage they are saturated. There may not have been much incentive for people to get down to these little towns. But for the people down here who are totally devastated, they feel left out and ignored, as if their story hasn't been told.

Charles Gibson

There's towns just like ours in America. I think what we say is quite universal.

Richard Archer

The Census provides highs that are too low and lows that are too high. In effect, the Census income estimates artificially reduce the gap between the wealthiest and poorest Connecticut towns.

Wayne Villemez

We wanted it to be challenging and different from any other towns.

Kristin Knox

We ruled that it is a public use, but ultimately this is a town decision and we made that clear to all parties. We don?t really want to be in the business of telling towns what they can or cannot do.

Kristine Foye

This could be Ozark next year. All of us small towns in the South survive day-to-day. It's tough. Just meeting your obligations, its hand-to-mouth. If we got hit by a storm, we'd be in awful shape. I'd just hope other towns like ours would come help us.

Bob Bunting

They find little pubs in small towns work.

Sharon Meikle

Once there is no state law, the city ordinance is what the cities and towns would go by and other places ... would have every right to keep punishing adult marijuana users if they chose to.

Mason Tvert

New Hope was one of the most diverse towns that I had ever been in.

Phil Powell

Excellence in academia does not limit itself to rich neighborhoods. We have students with potential for excellence in small towns, in the periphery. We must reach out to such people and bring them to the universities.

David Menashri

College towns aren't the most prosperous because their knowledge isn't deployed in the most economically productive occupations.

Robert Weissbourd

Deep into the second half I thought that this was going to be one of those games that depicted Boys' Town's story, playing well, having a lot of ball possession, dominating games but not converting.

Andrew Price

Many feel that sitting at a screen sweating over the design of handrail details for the next cute downtown boutique hotel just doesn't make sense when more than 150,000 people have lost their lives, more than five million people have been made homeless and whole towns have been swept away.

Cameron Sinclair

Now kids have their parents drop them off at school in cars. Back then in these types of tiny towns there still weren't many cars - tractors maybe - but not cars in winter.

Marco Andreatta

The voters of Colorado approved limited-stakes gambling in part because they wanted to preserve the historic legacy of the mining towns.

Paul Harris

Whole towns shut down on Friday night for games. Every small town. I was born here in California. I know it isn't like that here.

Robert Killebrew

There was a contagion of ordinances. Many small towns expelled the black population or decreed a policy of not allowing any blacks.

James Loewen

A lot of small town business has been dwindling, and Moulton's no exception. They can't compete against larger towns, ... In 30 years, we've lost some businesses; and [those] jobs are gone. It hurts.

Gary Harris

We had that sort of common-roots background, ... He's from Blue Earth, Minnesota, and I'm from Elmore, Minnesota, two little towns on the Iowa border. ... I had seen him operate for many years as a journalist. I knew he was good and I knew reporters respected him, which is a big thing in that job.

Walter F. Mondale

If you do this, we all of us shall be rewarded by the betterment of our towns, the beautification of our streets, the improvement of our suburbs; we shall have made one step forward to still further elevating, improving, and dignifying the life of our citizens.

Thomas Adams

We are going to make a decision on what is fair and move forward from there. We are going to sit down with the towns, the school districts and the companies and discuss this issue. We will certainly take this testimony in consideration during those talks.

Legislator Dennis Korce

It's not so easy to get people in smaller towns to spend money, but they still come to the store, all dressed up with their families. It's an outing for them.

Kishore Biyani

I think beach nourishment is used to help sell housing projects and protect the towns' tax base. People have this idea of the Outer Banks as a wild, wind-swept destination and an artificial beach will take away that lure which in turn could hurt the economy.

Andy Coburn

It's clear that the race is taking on a momentum of its own; the crowd support on the road today was beyond anything we've seen yet. From the start in San Luis Obispo and on through all of the towns along the course, people were out in the thousands to support the best cyclists in the world race to Santa Barbara.

Shawn Hunter

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.

Town Manager Richard Kerbel

At first, I thought money invested into revitalizing main streets rather than industrial development was like throwing money down a rat hole. But now many people are moving out of the big cities to escape the rat race. They want to move to small, charming towns that offer a sense of place.

Jack Schultz

In Vineyard Haven, on Martha's Vineyard, mostly I love the soft collision here of harbor and shore, the subtly haunting briny quality that all small towns have when they are situated on the sea.

William Styron

We cut back last year, and we still were one of the most expensive towns.

Jim Macdonald

Crime has gone up 35 percent in the Five Towns alone. I have multiple neighbors who have experienced home invasions—been accosted getting out of their cars and assaulted in their homes. A man was attacked walking to synagogue on Sabbath morning just a few weeks ago. We've got a serious crime problem here.

Jeffrey Katz

The situation is already grave, if not grotesque, ... And to facilitate this by making drinking facilities more widely available is close to lunacy. It simply means that our towns and city centers are abandoned every night to tribes of pugnacious, drunk, noisy, vomiting louts.

Charles Harris

When George first proposed the idea of moving my home and studio to Arnaudville, I didn't have to think about it for too long before I made the move - it felt right. I've loved small towns since I was a boy and had previously admired the uniqueness of Arnaudville.

William Lewis

We're used to being powerless in this country. Then a group of small towns stands up and says, 'We do not agree, and we'll do everything we can to stop you.

Dan Dewalt

We are prime for growth. We are fortunate to have REDCO (Regional Economic Development Corporation) and area towns with leadership that is dedicated to bringing new business into the area and retaining existing businesses.

Kathy Lively

In southwest Florida, football is everything in these small towns, ... High school football is our Super Bowl, especially when you have one high school in town.

Richard Bowers

We also offer model plans as a guidance tool to help towns modernize their plans and keep them up to date.

Dewitt Sagendorph

Public art brings variety, energy and life to our public spaces. The One Percent for Art Program compliments this town's thriving art community and it serves as a testimonial to our elected officials' dedication to the city's cultural heritage and vision for the future.

Porter Arneill

It's important to bring the business community together with elected officials and help foster a good relationship with both towns.

Mary Sperr

Our staff liked the themes in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and felt it was most applicable to our community. It's set in a rural town during the Depression in Alabama, and we have a lot of rural towns here in Fresno County dealing with social inequalities.

Jeanne Johnson

Where the Mike's concept started was in smaller towns and has continued to develop in smaller towns, and we have done well with that.

Madison Jobe

There were many communities and towns that made offers.

Adrian Grice

These issues are pretty common in all the towns.

John Vincent

Across the state, there's a lot of bed and breakfasts in small rural towns like Clover. It takes an old home that has some uniqueness to it and an unbelievable dedicated person or couple to do it.

Tom Sponseller

I don't know of any town on the Cape that has that position. Towns have hired consultants but not their own paid person.

Robert Murray

What's good for one little town is good for all the little towns.

Joel Holley

We'd pull into small towns, and thousands of people would come to be rescued by this man.

Dave Grohl

I commend them for the job they do and for providing a service for events. My job is to look after the town's assets. That's where I'm coming from.

Paul Larson

We've got more customers going east than we do west from Bismarck. I've been surprised by the traffic that's been coming out of the smaller towns.

Tom Forseth

We're looking into the cost of hiring a deputy, and we might be able to share expenses with other towns.

John Dill

The alternative is a tower or some facility you can see. We often see other towns recommending church steeples. This is a win-win situation.

John Springer

The small business infrastructure remains the engine of growth for many of the cities and small towns badly damaged by last year's hurricanes. With the dedicated teamwork of our local partners, SAP hopes to enable business processes at affected small businesses, allowing them to rebuild today while planning for long-term prosperity.

Dan Kraus

All of it really? The whole of the country. I used to get on buses and go to certain towns and stay there for a few days and wander around taking photographs.

Terence Hodgson

What we are seeing in the north of England is a reaction by local people to the infiltration of far-right groups like the BNP and the NF in their towns.

Shahid Malik

I'm finding that a lot of the smaller towns are really struggling to stay within their limits.

Michael Starn

We must incorporate the culture of planning in our towns and cities.

Anna Tibaijuka

It doesn't matter if it's Edmonton or Calgary, small towns like Trail, (B.C.), or smaller major cities like Fredericton. The issue is the same: 'We want more immigration'.

Joe Volpe

We had so many small towns in eastern Montana that didn't have the ability to market themselves. They just had to go digging and scratching to find funds.

Jim Schaefer

You can actually get on boats and see the foliage along the shore [with] narrated tours. [The Connecticut River] is really a very unspoiled waterway with beautiful scenic vistas as well as small, quaint towns.

Barbara Cieplak

Montana is transitioning from a natural resource economy to a human-resource-based economy. Economic production is now more decentralized than 30 years ago. This has flattened the economic playing field so that businesses can do things in small towns that used to have to be done in big cities.

Suzanne Miller

From the beginning, we have asked ourselves the question we?re asked by the public all the time: ?How can you put our youngest children into the town?s worst neighborhood??

Barry Robertson

Life was just has hard, if not harder, for women in small (fishing) towns. Men went off to sea, (women) did everything else. They made the culture; they raised the kids.

Bob Mcdermott

We have a note on the door that the town office is temporarily closed to public business. We have a further note that if people are in need of a vehicle registration, they can go to Mars Hill and they'll take care of it for us. We'll be back and open to do the rest of the town's business hopefully on Monday.

Richard Watson

Helped disrupt shared cultural memory, undermining community unity and adding to the pressures that have induced millions of Americans, white and black, to leave the cities for the suburbs and small towns.

William Leach

It's strange, because essentially, the smaller town's mayor just disappears.

Jacob Ray

The Town's principal responsibility is to make sure it enforces its fire and building codes.

George Hoffman

The eye on the prize is that we get the resources we need so folks have the confidence that they can come back, and there's a long-term commitment of the federal government to be the state's partner in protecting our cities and towns from hurricanes and restoring the coast.

Andy Kopplin

We had a really good tournament and we had guys wrestle hard. New Milford also had a great tournament. This says a lot for wrestling in our two little towns.

Ricky Shook

Click on that and you can name towns in different states all across the nation and choose a radius of three miles, five miles or 10 miles around the town, and it will bring you back a list of stations along with map. Beside each station name are prices. You just have to make sure you watch the date and look for the most recent date. It will give you an idea of what many stations are doing.

Don Lindsey

I like Boston because it's kind of like running around [northern Vermont and New Hampshire]. There are a lot of nice little towns. They are bigger than here obviously, but you just go from one town to the next.

John Eddy

There was also an undercurrent of desperation about the town's sagging image. They put up booster signs with slogans like "It's Swell in Hornell." As teenagers we mocked it. Yet it made me sensitive to the town's identity crisis: How does an underdog pull itself up?

Bill Pullman

I'm looking forward to the small South Island towns. The kids are so friendly and well-behaved.

Pat Courtney

When I go to farms or little towns, I am always surprised at the discontent I find. And New York, too often, has looked across the sea toward Europe. And all of us who turn our eyes away from what we have are missing life.

Norman Rockwell

The priority for relief agencies in the towns is shelter, water and sanitation, while in the countryside it is shelter and food.

Rashid Khalikov

When we found out the fireworks might not happen, we started raising money, ... Family Day is a great time for Sterling and surrounding towns and the fireworks top it off.

Jeff Griffin

Unfortunately, a lot of water is covering farmland and towns and roads, ... The good news is our emergency plan worked just the way it was supposed to.

Kathleen Sebelius

We've seen what's happened in other towns like Oxford [where school construction costs keep growing beyond the budget]. We don't want to be like that.

Janet Robinson

Whatever happened to that old-fashioned Grandpa? If he still survives, he must be hiding in the small towns. You sure don't see him very often in the big city. The big-city Grandpa has gone big time. . . . He is the life of every party . . .

Hal Boyle

Last year the virus affected 62 towns in 10 Russian regions, while since the start of 2006, already 56 towns in nine regions have been affected.

Sergei Dankvert

There were only 500 people here, and it doesn't seem it (represents) all the residents of the three towns. I don't think the DFM was publicized enough. People with special interests in passing the budget were here. Our property taxes are going to go up again, so I didn't like the outcome. I'm disgusted by it.

George Barrett

There's a lot of talk in both towns. She's got hundreds of family members here.

Tom Dyer

They're not to be contiguous to metro areas, because those [towns] are different.

Kerry Agnitsch

In hockey towns, like Boston is, the true fans are always going to come out. No question about it.

Glen Murray

Football is king in Texas, and I don't think anyone from anywhere else has any idea what that really means. I drive home sometimes through these small towns, and all you see is signs like 'Go, Buffalos' everywhere.

Robert Killebrew

It's remarkable that the town has the vision and supports this. Other towns have arts programs, but the money is usually administered by non-profits.

Jenn Cram

It's a hot birding state. Towns, especially in the southeast of Arizona, realize millions of dollars.

Mike Rupp

A plant like this will bring millions of dollars into this community, as well as high-paying jobs. It's bringing money into our small towns, and it's benefiting our farmers by increasing the demand for their corn.

Gordon Ommen

We've done a few shows in the Southwest before, but this'll be our first time in New Mexico. Playing new places and going to new towns is great. I love to play and travel. The response in new places has been good, not too bad. It's been fun; we've played to good people.

Randy Huth

Rising petrol prices and reduced domestic travel is a concern for regional Australia as few tourists will be passing through country towns, staying in local hotels and contributing to local economies and jobs.

Christopher Brown

Towns at the lower end are receiving less than they should, and towns at the upper end are receiving more than they should.

Wayne Villemez

These funds are a natural extension of what we have done to get our towns to the point of submitting a plan for certification. Our help extends to the next step, which is actually putting these affordable housing plans into action.

Robert Ceberio

The school?s expenses and the town?s expenses are going up, but so are the taxpayers.

Scott Veley

It's a fairly popular sport. It has its problems. It hasn't grown much. A lot of the smaller towns in Ontario have their own clubs.

Rae Ney

We just feel the state has to step up and start recognizing they have an obligation to towns like Acton and Sudbury and others to offset the continued reliance on local property taxes.

John Brackett

This series itself has increased our fan base. I think there are people in Monterrey and in the towns around here that care about the Padres.

Larry Lucchino

A lot of these races are in bigger towns. Merced still has that small town feel and a lot of people really enjoy Merced.

Justin Hale

I am very disappointed, ... More jobs mean more people, and that equates to more housing and more retail sales. Stagnation in the local economy means no prosperity. I and many others, particularly Colleen Towns, worked very hard and did an excellent job representing the City of Liberal.

Jack Taylor

When these plants went up in these small towns, my goodness, it was really a shot in the arm for these rural communities.

Ralph Groschen

In any New Zealand town, even small country towns, you will find at least one Art Deco house. These were not built by intellectuals using an avant-garde architect as you might have found in the United States. These were built by builders using handbooks for young married couples who didn't have any intellectual pretensions at all.

Robert Mcgregor

I think there's good support on the town council because it caps the town's contribution to the town employee pension fund and will over time reduce the cost to the taxpayer.

Richard Kehoe

The enormity of the storm's effect is something that is unprecedented. If you look at towns where basically all the infrastructure was wiped out, then you have to evaluate those based on who's coming back to pay taxes and rebuild.

Kevin Giddis

I know that this is the greatest promotion besides the Olympic games that we can give to the country. These towns are going crazy to see these Olympic champions live.

Bela Karolyi

It turns out that there are a lot of people here in town who have moved out here from Arlington, Jamaica Plain, Somerville, Cambridge. They're first-time home buyers, young families who enjoyed seeing a store like this that reminded them of the towns they left.

Didi Chadran

I graduated from Safford Beauty School with my daughter, Tiffany, and now we are both cosmetologists in two different towns.

Shelly Daley

There are so many pockets of places around the country where I play at tiny little towns, and the audiences in general there are so much more appreciative than big city audiences.

Ingrid Jensen

The Teterboro route has been very effective for us in terms of fulfilling flight requests for middle- to senior-management executives, ... And now with the White Plains route, we're able to capture Westchester County business travelers, as well as business people in towns such as Darien and Greenwich.

Daniel Lynch

We have money in the current request for proposal [RFP] to development the town's website. This person will help out on the technology side for the website.

John Crovo

Great Falls is like a step back in time. This is the way small towns were 50 years ago.

Steve Alley

It (the grant) was a very good surprise. We felt we had a very good chance, but I think it was our mutual aid agreement with the towns in Franklin County that made us stand out.

Sarah Doscinski

There was never a written or verbal agreement for purchase but there was a consideration to do so as one option…to help sustain the Enrichment Center…and now the town's attorney is aggressively working to hammer out an agreement between the town and The Enrichment Center to move them [to the Big H].

Don Mckay

It could be precedent setting. It will have a major effect on the community. What I'm concerned about is the impact on the town's resources.

Joseph Bridge

Once you have heard the lark, known the swish of feet through hill-top grass and smelt the earth made ready for the seed, you are never again going to be fully happy about the cities and towns that man carries like a crippling weight upon his back.
