Dear WwkVoter,

Are you kidding??

A Home Rule Charter is VERY different to a legislative charter. In some ways they are polar opposites.

A legislative charter makes recommendations to the state and the STATE DECIDES! ( and trust me old friend, the state legislators will vote for what benefits the STATE, not the City of Warwick.) With a Home Rule Charter, the City has the final decision and IF we had a Home Rule Charter, the City Council could make the School Committee (SC) accountable to the TAXPAYERS. Under the present legislative charter, the SC has total control of $160 million dollars of taxpayers money "from the minute they receive it." That's why I have campaigned to require answers to taxpayers questions "BEFORE we give the SC a dime!"

Every City Council person agrees that Warwick NEEDS a Home Rule Charter, (to my understanding). Why don't you? And while we're at it, what makes you think that they are "exactly the same"?

Merry Christmas WwkVoter

Merry Christmas everyone.
