And here's goes another tax increase hiding as a "fee." These people just don't get it. First, the sewer fee goes up, now they want to raise the water rate. They're looking to put Red light cameras in, tax, tax, tax. If they could figure out some way to tax the air we breathe, I think they would do that too. Meanwhile, the schools continue to get warnings and the potholes continue to get larger. Where does all this money go? Inquiring minds would like to know.

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.
