East Greenwich: The world is a better place because of Bob Houghtaling. In the words of Elizabeth Kubler Ross: "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern." — lee sperduti, commenting on Robert Houghtaling: Grand Marshal, Humble Man

North Kingstown: "Co-curricular activities are the lifeblood of the well rounded education experience.

South Kingstown: "Please remember that a Veteran is not only someone who fought in a war, but anybody who served in the military, whether during war time or peace time. If you know anyone who has served our country, or who is currently serving, be sure to shake their hand and tell them Thank you for their service. Not just today, but every day! God bless our Veterans!" — Jim Weinreich, commenting on Today: Honor Those Who Fought for Our Freedom

Woonsocket: "We all want change, but do we really think anything is going to change if we have the same people in office? Thank goodness we do have some new faces on the Council and the School Committee. Unfortunately not enough." — Memere, commenting on Election Results: Moreau, Roberts Lead the Pack
