Hi Tubby Barton,

I'm a married father of four young children all under the age of 4. I am also the sole income source for my growing family and while I am wealthy in blessings of having a happy/healthy camily, I am far from wealthy monetarily. I work 40+ hours a week on 3rd shift to make ends meet. One thing that hits our family hard is large tax levys...the decisions made affect whether a bill is paid or overtime (if allowed) is needed to offset reckless increases.

I am also a candidate for the charter review...not everyone is wealthy and connected as you've stated in your above comment.

You can find me on Facebook if you ever want to chat or meet up for coffee.

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.
