Why is it the Warwick squad, comparable to the congressional squad in intelligence levels, you know the "watch group members" we all know who they are of course, just move away. I believe one has already but still likes to complain. It's a life long conquest of heart ache. You will never beat a union, nor has the federal gov't been able to do so. Why? Unions were developed to protect the rights of employees against the likes of those who don't believe in fair labor. Skilled professionals protected and properly compensated.

With that said, just like the squad the biases are so obvious. Favortism of school employees versus municiple employees. The squad has no problem with a large school budget, no problem at all. In fact, would like to throw more money at it with declining results.

Yet the crucial departments of police and fire, which actually generate money by fines and rescue runs are critized. Those men and women are highly trained and educated and sacrafice their lives to serve others. The ptsd alone of witnessing death and destruction. The missed family times from working shift work. I would love to see the squad do those jobs for a week let alone 30 years+

What people don't realize is the services that they get in Warwick are outstanding compared to other towns that pay much higher taxes for far less services. Try living in a town where you are paying thousands a year in taxes and have no garbage or yard waste pick up, no fire dept or rescues only a volunteer service, a well and septic to deal with, no public events to enjoy, no senior center etc...

Now large cities have to have full time police and fire there is no way around it. But you want to get rid of garbage pick up and your yard waste luxury you'll have to hire a private garbage pick up usually at the cost of $500 a year for 1 barrel and no heavy pick up and no leaf pick up.

Don't want city water? Drill a well in your yard and deal with that cost! Sewer, well blame Save the Bay. They don't want your poo going into the bay, no way around it.

Why do council people get "free" health care but want to complain about retirees who have worked 20, 30 years?

Nothing wrong with pay as you go. It's called inflation and cost of living.

I don't hear any one complain about the cost of the libraries. Most people use the internet and everyone has a cell phone with the internet even the low income and retired folks. Nope it's just the constant attack on mainly the fire dept. and certain city workers. Not much gets said about the police which is interesting. Both protect just in different ways. So is this just another bias by the squad?

Why the difference in numbers from the squad and city hired outside opinions? Well probably because numbers don't lie but it all is how you compute those numbers. Stats can be manipulated simply by changing certain variables such as time frames for example.

I see around the city constant new businesses being built or taking over vacant spots. Look at the old bennys wildes corner another huge strip mall going in. Or, the new restaurant on airport rd, or the new health facilities. What's that squad? Oh revenue increases. But, those businesses need police and fire protection. Having stellar protection saves on insurance policies both residential and business alike.
