Per capita income wasn't the best metric to use. How about the difference in median household income between Bristol ($64,405) and Warren ($53,284) which is a $11,121 difference.

Better yet, lets compare median family income since families are the ones most likely to use the schools. You will see that Bristol ($85,316) still has a major advantage over Warren ($71,559). To the tune of $13,757.

I applaud Mr. Lial for standing up for the taxpayers of Warren.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
