Dear Russell,

My opinions on this matter are well known. Improving our schools is the number one priority for me. As mayor, I will not give a dime to the School Committee (SC) until we have accountability from them. The law says we can't influence them "once they receive the $160,000,000 budget" so I have decided that I will do it BEFORE I turn over the taxpayers hard earned money. I recently heard the mayor pretend he knew nothing about the fire alarm problems. That was a lie Russell. I took pictures in December of 2015 of fire alarm boxes with green paper covering them showing that they were inoperable. Those fire boxes were IN THE CITY HALL! And the mayor didn't see it?!

You say it shows indifference. I am not as nice as you. I have described it in words that I can't print here. Warwick needs a mayor that cares enough to react to these issues immediately. As mayor, I promise to do that and to be 100% accountable to the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab. People like you Russell. 2018 is around the corner. Call me at 401-338-9900. I'd like to continue this conversation.

Happy summer everyone.
