To the editor:
Last week's article on my complaints to the RI State Attorney General did an injustice. It was verbose.
My two complaints are not.
They are based  on the obvious. They were purposely and carefully worded so as to be: 1/ incontrovertible, and 2/ my complaints could be easily seen with the naked eye and understood by everyone. In them I use the words "flooding and detritus." Did those two words appear in the article?
Good grief,  man, the reservoirs are protected by Rhode Island State Law and look what has happened to them!!
The article is a great example of " making a mountain out of a mole hill " by the responses it generates. My heavens, BCWA, " Ya made a mess. Now clean it up!"
But certainly don't change all of East Warren to do it. And don't just let it go out with the tide - literally. That's just plain dumb....and illegal.
Ironically, I presently am visiting two old friends - engineers, by coincidence - in a place where flooding and detritus would simply cause  death. That place is the Netherlands.
By the way, "Keep the Kiki fresh."
