I agree, WwkVoter. Thecaptain can show real results for his efforts, and I applaud him for that.

On the school improvement issue, the state plan is to increase the reimbursement rate to 50 percent, which is a good sign. Typically those reimbursements require the host community to spend the money first, so Warwick would have to approve this $85m bond item and actually pay for the work to get that state money.

Getting 20 schools updated for $42.5 million [after the state money is counted] is a great deal, and the council should approve it. Building a new school would direct too many resources away from existing facilities at a time when the school department is consolidating the school population. In the end, I think it's far more prudent to fix up the highest number of facilities that serve the highest number of students.
