Dear Scal1024,

When you say that 90% of the School Committee (SC) budget is for salaries I think you are right. I don't know for sure because the SC won't allow an independent audit that I am sure you would read, but I think you are right. By the way, those salaries include many new ADMINISTRATIVE positions, like the "Assistant Principal of Teaching and Learning" at Winman and also the "Assistant Principal of Climate and Culture". These positions are for the sole benefit of the SC, not the students, and the SC is proposing that cuts be made that hurt the students to help fund these unnecessary "appointments". You wouldn't do that Scal and neither will I as Mayor.

Second issue:

I have said for several years that Warwick taxpayers paid "OVER A BILLION DOLLARS SINCE 2009" To update that Scal, it is now "OVER A BILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS" The SC was supposed to spend much of that money on repairs and renovations for our schools. It's in their rules and regulations Scal!

They didn't. Now they want $85 million MORE with no guarantee as to how they will spend it. I won't support it! Will you?

Third issue:

Scal, a couple of my critics are lying about me and they are going to get into legal problems. Don't join them. As far as the Mayor handling the death of that child that drowned, immediately after that tragic unpreventable event, the Mayor removed all lifeguards for the remainder of the season...fact.

As Mayor, I would have increased the number of lifeguards for the remainder of the season...fact.

I believe that you would have made the same decision as me. Read my article. Read exactly what it says. Don't misquote me Scal. Please. Mayor Avedisian was NOT responsible for his tragic death. I never said he was. Mayor Avedisian WAS responsible for what happened next. That horrible decision is one that neither of us would have made.

Scal, why don't you disclose to the readers who you really are so they know exactly how biased (or unbiased) your opinions really are? Don't hide.

Last issue:

When my lender broke Rhode Island law I sued them in Federal Court and won! They were court ordered to pay the taxes that came out in my name. They did! They also paid them late so Warwick received even more taxes. If you want, I will sit with you and show you everything that I already showed to Rob Cote. That way you will know the truth. I will offer you that respect because I believe that you do love this city. I do too. There are two groups. Those 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab, and those who benefit from the tax payments. You are part of both groups, aren't you Scal? Where is your loyalty Scal?

Happy Valentines everyone.
