John, I was listening to you this morning regarding the Cranston Police dept. lowering it's standard so more would qualify. I also, cannot believe this. My husband came downstairs with the morning newpaper stating this is outrageous, then he gave me the article to read. It is outrageous.
Posted by: Linda Bibee at November 6, 2007 1:41 PMWe should not be lowering the standards for ANY INDIVIDUAL. Individuals should be rising up to meet the standards. Police officers carry weapons, they need to fill out reports. I agree with Steven from Cranston who called in when he said since we taxpayers are paying the salaries of the police we should have a right to vote on this. I did sit down after I read the article and sent a letter to projo.com. Lets see if it gets printed. Linda Bibee (glad your back)
They threw you out of Boston so you come crawling back to Providence. I was listening to you for a bit this morning and believe that you are definitely a bigot. Shame on you.
Posted by: Larry at March 12, 2008 10:08 AMJohn, I was wondering why the Ma health reform is not being discussed on the talk show. I agree with you 99% of the time. But I live in Ma. where health care is mandatory and it has been the best thing going for the state. The cost is dtermined by your income which is reviewed on a yearly basis. I pay $ 42.00 a month for mine. It is mandatory that physicals are conducted each year. If it wasn't for living in Ma my high blood preasue would have been un-noticed creating even more serious problems. This is called preventative care. I have to make co-payments such as $15 for a doctor's visit or $ 50 for a hospital payment. I also suffer from sleep apnea in which I am being treated for. This included a sleep test in a hospital and a breathing machine so I could sleep at night preventing my breathing to stop. The only problem that Ma had at the begining is over crowded waiting rooms all this has smoothed out. I work full time and dont have the benefits as others do. This is not fair everyone should have the same. If I did not live in Ma Blue Cross would be charging me $ 75 a week. That is one third of my pay. I could not survive financially if I was to live in another state. Health care reform is needed. Medical costs are too high . Prescriptions are too high. Thank you I listen to you every day.
