I'm not supporting the SC nor am I being critical of you because, well, you are you. But there is something wrong with your statement. You say you could double the salary of the 'remaining few teachers' due to the money saved by laying 100. Well, any businessman knows that laying someone off does not immediately save money. There is unemployment to pay. There are vacation days and sick days to pay out. Also, since I believe there were almost a thousand teachers in Warwick, laying off 10% or even 20% would not allow you to 'double' the remaining salaries. Salaries which are close to 100,000 for each teacher. I do agree that it is more important to know who you are voting for on the school committee than the mayor or governor. The school committee spends half of your tax dollars. Yet most people don't even know who they are voting for. A nice sign. A person who is 'for the kids' or who will 'put out kids first'.
