It was actually 18 Days after taking her seat, Bachus votes to give supporters a raise. I don't know how she did this when she had not had a full meeting yet, 2 members of the committee didn't know they were in negotiations, and she had not been through a budget cycle yet.

Karen Bachus was elected to school committee even though she was facing felony breaking and entering charges during the election to give notice of which is required by all school committee members and candidates....she has now been charged with the that involved her destroying the belongings of a 6 month old girl!! What a great candidate for school committee!! I am disgusted that this woman who is obviously mentally unstable could be in charge of making decisions regarding our schools....and that she is also allowed to work with children at her job for dcyf when she could maliciously destroy the property of a young child!! What is our world coming to??"

I followed up on the information in this post and found the following Warwick Police Report 12-5688-OF:

I talked to John Howell, editor of the Beacon, and emailed him about it and this was his reply in an email to me.

"Patrick I had heard something about this shortly after it occurred and asked the chief what was the story. He said they were investigating and it seemed like a dispute between the two of them. Thanks for sending this along. John"

So the Beacon knew that 11 days prior to the election Karen Bachus had been charged with Felony Breaking and Entering and Misdemeanor Vandalism and Malicious Injury to Property but decided it was something people would not want to know. The Beacon did not do a story about a person running for office that had a report about a Felony and a Misdemeanor 11 days prior to the election.
