Warwick, like every other municipality, had a system in place.

Warwick, like every other municipality, had some people trying to take advantage. If I was in that system, I might care more about my family than my City, too. No one wants to pay a bill if they don't have to. I don't read anything in the above article that is a major offense. However, if I was the Mayor, I would tighten up these loopholes, just like Mayor Solomon and union president Mike Carreirois are doing. Carreiro has clearly explained how he and previous President Bill Lloyd legally and ethically negotiated the previous collective bargaining agreement with the Avedisian administration. If that agreement was too flexible or too vague, blame Avedisian. He OK'd it. The end result of this new negotiation should benefit everyone, including the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab.

Good job to everyone involved in this improvement, including Mayor Solomon and present union president, Mike Carreiro. I'm sure they invested many hours to make the system better for everyone.

Happy Valentines everyone.
