Dear Richard,

You left out a few line items.

1. What about the ever-increasing "rent" that East Greenwich was charging. Won't that continue to increase year after year? The $2.6 million is admittedly a lot but that number is finite.

2.What about the services (fire, rescue etc.) that we can now charge for?

3. What about the quality-of-service? I'll bet it's higher when it's our people as opposed to an outsourced team.

Richard, I have looked at this with a careful eye and I have to admit, this is a winner no matter how severe we crunch the numbers. In six and a half years the money saved will equal $2.6 million spent. That is a no-brainer. You and I can "what about" all the smaller issues but the big picture is we save $400,000 a year! In 6 and a half years we save what it cost.

Many congrats to Fire Chief Armstrong, City Councilman Steve Merolla, and the deserving taxpayers of Potowomut.

Merry Christmas to all.
