Once again we have a shining example indicating that the people we elect, really, aren't very intelligent people. These gutless political elected "officials" escaped a public vote by engineering a fact less 3rd party hearsay statement that an un-named member of the LTFPC made a statement to Council woman Vella-Wilkinson (another proven habitual liar) indicating that the committee really put forth a decision without any basis or thought. This was a despicable statement, an insult to experts that presided on that commission, and a slap in the face to clear thinking taxpayers. The members of the school committee knew that either way they voted, there would be political consequences, so the "safe play" would be to divert the attention of the taxpayer, and engineer a way out of a public vote. I think Captain Kirk called that the Kobiashi- Maru doctrine.

So, now due to the lack of integrity, fiscal soundness, and plain guts, the residents are left with crumbling school structures, fire safety hazards, inefficient operations and sky rocketing costs that the city council will not have the guts to finance, and no plan to fix the problem. Thank god they are not pilots! Mind you, that the education of the Warwick Schools System is sub -par at best. In the latest RI Board of Education report card for the state high schools, Warwick ranked (out of 40 schools) 22, 28, and 32 on high school scores. And those scores were achieved with 14 -15 pupils per class. Think that there could be another problem here somewhere?

I was unable to identify 1 parent in that meeting that has ever attended a city council budget hearing. Maybe if we had that kind of attendance at council meetings we would not be stuck with gutless political "leaders" and skyrocketing taxes for sub par services. In the end game, you get the government that you deserve. With Warwick being comprised by a majority of low intellect voters, the chances for change are slim and none. Watch them all get re-elected. By the way, Ms. Bachus, nice fashion choice, very professional!
