The two-time election reject is not accurate in virtually anything he states in his earlier comment, and is completely oblivious to the contradictions in his own statements.

First, the $1.75 million is still less -- not more -- than the original requested increase from the school committee.

Second, the two-time election reject repeatedly and vocally supported the salary increases included in the last contract -- which total $4.5 million of the FY19 school budget increase.

Third, the two-time election reject has repeatedly accused Mayor Solomon of raising taxes in FY19 to pay off political supporters, and has continued to make this accusation after Mayor Solomon so thoroughly defeated him in September.

Going by his own statements, the two-time election reject does not support funding the school budget so that the teachers can be paid, or he believes Mayor Solomon raised city taxes to pay union teachers.

He claims to use "simple logic," but in truth, his statements are defective and delusional.

A vast majority of honest, taxpaying voters disagreed with the two-time election reject, and he seems to give that as much credence as Mayor Solomon is paying to the two-time election reject's opinion: Zero.

The two-time election reject continues to ignore the published program auditors' findings, which showed that any savings in school consolidations have been reduced by the high number of teachers who are getting top-step salaries and benefits. There is no "large surplus."

The new bonds are not a "$40 million credit card." Everything about the bond process has been conducted in public, and is being overseen by the city and the state Board of Education. The list of projects has been discussed and considered in public, and the entire process has been as transparent as the two-time election reject's attempts to smear actual elected officials.

He was wrong about all of it then, and he is wrong about all of it now
