Dear elected Town Council Members, I would like to thank you for appointing me to the Galilee Advisory Committee.  I am sure you would not have assigned me to a position in an advisory capacity if you did not agree with my support of the Town of Narragansett’s  Proposal, as I have written editorials for the Narragansett Times, I was at Zoom meetings with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM), I was quoted in the Boston Globe, and I created an online petition that has over 2600 signatures that supports for the Town of Narragansett's Proposal.  Let us hope in this new year of 2022, our forefathers who fought in the Revolutionary War for the primary reason to fight against Taxation Without Representation did not fight in vain.  While King George 111 had great influence on implementing unjust taxes, we do not want any individual, developer, or corporation, or government agency regardless of how big they are tax us without listening and upholding the will of our residents.    We have no silent majority.  As evident by the petition we have a vocal majority.  Let us have a representative democracy in Narragansett and not a dictatorship in 2022.  We fought many wars against communism and dictatorships where those in political power dictated their beliefs against the will of the people. Let those wars not be in vain.  We cannot let any company or governmental agency usurp the will of the people and the Town’s governmental leaders in 2022.   As was clear for our fight for the modern state of the art library let us stand united in our fight for the Town’s Proposal.     In the Narragansett Times, I noted, if the prior town council failed to support the new library it would be much more costly to be built later.     We now recognize what I stated was true.    Likewise, with the land lease in Galilee, I will go on record that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our town to take over the lease to create a viable revitalization plan that was developed and / or supported based on expert researchers, town planners, architects, marine scientists,  the Friends of Galilee consisting of highly educated individuals that dedicated their lives to improving Galilee, our Town Manager and Planner, members of the Galilee Advisory Committee , the Narragansett Pier Residents’ Association, and the Directors of the South County Museum.  When I am seen around Narragansett, people thank me for my advocacy for Galilee.    Let us hope the will of the people and that of our elected officials, and leaders such as our town manager and planner is not taken away from us by any governmental agency or developer based on one’s political influence and wealth.  Let us hope people will not say in 2022 the will of the people of Narragansett is ignored because of any government agency or those elected to represent us.     May all men and women who sacrificed to serve our military for our Democracy not be in vain.    I hope the Acting RIDEM Director Terry Gray, Deputy Director Jason McNamee, and Legal Counsel Mary Kay hear the voices of the majority and our governmental leaders and officials in Narragansett and do the right thing and approve the Town of Narragansett Proposal.    Each of you will have an everlasting legacy that will be forever remembered as either helping or hurting our Beautiful Village of Galilee.  Happy New Year and God Bless
