The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) was supposed to make their decision on who will be awarded the winning proposal for the 5-acre parcel in Galilee by the end of February.   They still have not made an announcement.    Thank you all for your continued support.  We have close to 2900 signatures at the change.org petition that each of you showed your support.      Let us hope the RIDEM will listen to the will of the elected officials in Narragansett, our Town Manager, Our Town Planner, the Friends of Galilee that consists of close to 300 people who dedicated their lives to improving Galilee, the Galilee Advisory Committee that was established by the Town of Narragansett to improve Galilee, the Narragansett Pier Residents' Association, the University of Rhode Island Research Studies that support the Town of Narragansett's Mixed Use Development Plan, and close to 2900 signatures that have shown their support with the online petition.   We have fought in wars to fight for Democracy in the United States, so our governmental leaders and state agencies will listen to the will of the people and the local governmental leaders.    Let us hope the RIDEM and our governmental leaders do not take our Democracy away from our local governmental leaders, its residents, and all those that have shown their support for the Town of Narragansett's Proposal for Galilee.   Let us hope the RIDEM does not usurp the power of our local government, its residents, and the support from so many learned individuals and researchers as a result of their actions if they fail to choose the Town of Narragansett's Proposal.   Our State of Rhode Island's Motto is Hope.   Let us Hope and Pray the RIDEM will listen to those who know what is best for Galilee, so we would not have to change our State's Motto to Hopeless.
