The author of this editorial is either misguided or dishonest. I'm not sure which.

He/she is misguided if he/she is believing that giving an ADDITIONAL $85,000,000 of the taxpayers hard-earned money to the School Committee (SC), who already received OVER A BILLION DOLLARS IN THE LAST TEN YEARS!!!, will solve our maintenance problems when there is absolutely no guarantee that they will spend ANY PORTION of the money on these needed repairs. (They never did before! That's why we have these problems!) The Warwick City Charter allows the SC to have TOTAL CONTROL over any money from the minute it receives it. If the author is misguided I hope this warning will help open his/her eyes. Does the author honestly believe that the SC spent over a billion dollars of the taxpayers hard-earned money wisely. If that is the case, the author is...misguided. Very misguided. Maybe even blind. (I can't see where they spent over a billion dollars.)

If the author is dishonest maybe the author has an ulterior motive. maybe the author is a member of the SC. Maybe the author has enjoyed mismanaging OVER A BILLION DOLLARS of the taxpayers money and just wants $84,000,000 more. Maybe.

Maybe.

In either event, it's the taxpayers money. The SC hasn't spent past monies wisely and there is no reason to believe they will start now. Settle the teachers contract issue. Agree to an INDEPENDENT audit and then let's talk! A billion dollars is already way too much. An additional $84,000,000 is just insane!

Happy Autumn everyone.
