“Last year we had extra officers on the island, but these things escalate very, very quickly.”
Peter Harding
“We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; destroyed their fields; burned their villages, and turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors; furnished heartbreak by exile to some dozens of disagreeable patriots; subjugated the remaining 10 millions by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of the musket. And so, by these Providences of God -- and the phrase is the government's, not mine -- we are a World Power.”
Mark Twain
“We?ll tell Islander East that the Long Island Sound is not the Wild West, ... The costs for the state of Connecticut couldn?t be higher.”
Gina McCarthy
“Our island has been the source of eagles for both mainland populations and northern islands. It's possible that pair bonds will break. It's taken us 25 years to get to the point that we're at.”
Ann Muscat
“Long Island did good this year. It's the price that got them in, it's a good deal.”
James Stephens
“It is immensely worse as far as damage to the shoreline and beachfront retreat, ... goes across the islands very quickly.”
Orrin Pilkey
“The Hansen software will be used by all 78 municipalities on the island, including nine regional offices and the main central office in San Juan, which will make this Hansen's largest billing and tax customer with 1.2 million accounts billed per cycle. Our project team, together with Rock Solid Technologies, will provide the Hansen system to about 1,200 users.”
