Lets examine more facts that the buffoon failed candidate doesn't realize. I'll say it again for the 50th time since he doesn't comprehend facts. Warwick has the 8th highest paid teachers in the country and the 4th lowest scores in the country. Warwick graduating seniors have an average math proficiency of 17% and average science proficiency of 11% (per RI Dept. of Education High School Report Card October 2013).

Naturally we have a top heavy administration, but the teachers have a very sweet deal and have had for many years. The failed candidate forgets that for years the teachers paid $11.00 a week for the best healthcare in the world.

Yes we need new schools, but with the unfunded liabilities that this city has due to political give away's to the unions, we will never see a new school. Teachers are part of that problem as well.

Too few students, too many teachers, and a contract that ignores the need for balanced numbers of teachers according to what the community needs. Another union pay off.

All the failed candidate would need to do is 3 minutes worth of research before opening his pie hole and spewing stupidity. The teachers, police, fire fighters, DPW, mayor, admin staff, and every other employee deserves only what the community is able to pay, based upon its fiscal soundness. I'm tired of hearing that the firefighters are hero's, the teachers are the best in the world, and our DPW stays up all night long to plow. No one dragged them screaming and kicking to the sweet jobs that they enjoy.

If the failed candidate could read he would see numerous articles such as these:

And by the way, Rhode Island has the 5th highest spending per public school student, and I believe Warwick is the highest in the state , or second highest.
