School budget documents are published online so taxpayers can read for themselves how the school department accounts for the money provided to it: https://www.warwickschools.org/departments/district-financial-documents/

Here is the verifiable and publicly available information about the FY18 school budget that the fake "mayor" does not read before making statements like "Much of that money was supposed to be spent on "repairs and renovations" of our schools." https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C2grOY8Maga1eENE63c76T285ZMxFiIS/view

Page 5 of this document shows that, of $165,753,523.86, $3,347,627.61 is listed as "capital equipment and property," representing 2.01% of the budget. This, apparently, is the "much of" the school budget that he insists should pay for the school renovations currently under discussion.

The rest of the budget [97.99%] is for salaries and benefits and for meeting state mandates and other legal requirements like paying bonds, funding transportation, covering tuition costs for out-of-district placements, providing fire and building insurance, and other items.

- "I say 'Don't give them another dime!'"

The city council, held 9-0 by members of his party, gave the school department $3 million to cover costs related to the teachers' contract. Clearly, even members of his own party agree that the school department accounts for its money and reject the fake "mayor's" suggestion of withholding school funding.

Despite having this information posted in reply to his comments multiple times, the fake "mayor" continues to willfully ignore all of it in favor of repeating his already disproven and objectively false, delusional statements.

Happy 283 days until honest, taxpaying voters again reject his false claims.
