Mr. DeGelt... The system that was agreed to many years ago may have worked for many years. However, in recent years there has been a change in the way the state funds schools. Bristol is taking advantage of their dominance on the JFC by taking money earmarked by the state for Warren students and using it towards Bristol students. As a result of this, Bristol can keep their taxes low and Warren can not.

Also, my son goes to a prestigious university and my daughter consistently gets high honors. How are my children, who are from Warren, a drag on Bristol's academic standing?
