Report Inappropriate Comments

David Testa: I think you overlooked the significant aspect of my comments. Besides that, there appears to be an issue larger than E911 and supplementary apps. You did not say, but I assume you are the same person as is on the school committee. That being the case, I expect our city officials to do more than provide newspaper articles as evidence of some accomplishment, yet, you do no more than that. This highlights a separate but serious problem with our city (and state) government. What should be open, transparent and attributable is not, and is instead obfuscated and insulated through 3rd party information providers.

It looks like you are simply giving your personal opinion, not the school committee’s. You should have made this statement explicitly, given your position. This omission raises a question. You say “I defend the system”. Are you campaigning for re-election here, or does the school committee also “defend the system” ? If you want me or anyone else to adopt your position, then first, all the facts you want me to infer from the 3rd party information providers need to be somehow attributed to the city of Warwick. How can we do that ? The school committee, the superintendent, or someone acting in their official capacity can post a statement on the city website, stating the city purchased an app, who should use it and why, why it’s better than 911, and so forth. Presently the statement does not exist, or you have not pointed to one. That’s not a defense of the system. (ps - the PJ video you reference appears to be a static image, not a video)
