"They closed three schools, they laid off employees, the population of the city of Warwick is going down and the school district population is going down, they're going up in cost," said Councilmen Steven Merolla (WPRI News, Kim Kalunian)

What ? ? ? ?

Mr. Councilmen, please help me follow your logic here. If I understand you, you feel that as the school district population goes down, you would expect costs to go down. I follow your logic so far.

Then you stated the City of Warwick’s population is also going down, using your own logic I would expect City costs to go down. Yet, you are proposing $6,500,000 in new spending.

Now you have me confused. Which is it? You cannot have it both ways.
