Mayor Avedisian stating that, “I believe a key component to each of our future successes is also the investment we make into our students and their education” is nothing more than a bold face lie and it demonstrates his hypocrisy.

The fact is he doesn't give a dam about investing in Warwick students. How else could he justify practically level funded the school system over the last 10 years and spending 96% of all new tax dollars collected, on the city budget leaving nothing for student education.

And at the same time Avedisian policies have resulted in the necessary maintenance to school building being all but ignored by with holding tens of millions of dollars in bond money needed to repair them. When he final decided to release the money in an unprecedented move, he made the school department agree to pay the principle and interest on the bond money when he signed documents promising it would be paid by the city. No other school department in the state has to pay this cost.

When its come to Warwick's children, Mayor Avedisian turned his back on them a decade ago.
