As usual Mr. Cushman brings FACTS to the discussion. When the state voters passed a referendum on Rocky Point to turn it into a state property with no tax value it costs us dearly. The lost future revenue of the property taxes coupled with the loss of revenue from property taxes due to airport expansion means fewer taxpayers. With half the student population (and fewer residents than in 1970) of our peak consolidating the schools is the only common sense answer. When we stop contracting and begin grow it will be time to invest in schools. Right now we need to cut to grow.

Things are going to get much worse in Warwick before they get better. Pension and other post retirement benefits are going to continue to squeeze the city workers, schools and most importantly the families of Warwick. The mayor and city council will continue to ignore it. They seem to think Apple is going to open up a 10,000 employee campus here.
