With regard to the school department. They had a surprise surplus of $2.9 million. So what was that spent on? Capital projects? Textbooks? Technology? Most of it was spent on wage increases negotiated by the School Committee. Labor peace a beautiful thing. Remember that then the School Committee says athletics have to be cut to save mone or when the sue the city (taxpayers for more money).

With declining enrollment there shouldn't be a been for more money.Schools at 50% occupancy; give me a break.

Using the old and new tax rates my taxes will go down $23. That's fine but it would be nice to have a no tax increase. The Mayor and Council are not perfect but when I look around at the cities in RI I can't say any are doing better.

From: Mayor’s budget increases spending by 1.3%
