Richard, your comments are no different than the current mayor about the school committee. The current mayor has used them as a scapegoat for Warwick Problems for as long as I can remember. Instead of creating more division how would you constructively correct the situation? What would you do differently, if anything than the mayor or will it just be more of the same from a different person? I'm tired of hearing the mayor can't do anything in the schools. You can certainly do more than criticize. If you could fix this problem, what would you do?

Also, know that each 1% raise is nearly the equivalent to $1 million. As mayor would you financially support the schools? While I don't agree with how it is being done, they are making cuts to save money because they had their funding cut 5% in 2009 for a total loss each year of $6.5 million. Since 2009, they have lost over $45 million. They have had essentially the same budget for 7 years while the city budget has gone from $69 million to over $115 million during the same time period.

You are basically calling them idiots and morons while the mayor and council runs amok spending wildly without reservation.

If you were sitting on the school committee what would you do because all I hear is exactly the same as our current mayor. You want to get elected? What would you do besides sling mud from the same puddle?
