Karen, unfortunately, you will NEVER get them to admit any wrongdoing on their part. I went to the State and towns websites to check budgets, and this is what I come up with;

Warren, in 2001 had a $7.67 mil school budget, and a $7.61 Muni budget. By 2013-14, schools were $11.68 mil, and Muni was $14.52 mil, for a WHOPPING 91% INCREASE, as opposed to 52% for schools. Even if you take out the debt service, Muni increased 65%!!!!

Bristol in 2001 had a $12.62 mil school budget and a $13.80 mil Muni budget. By 2013-14 schools were $22.04 mil and muni was $20.99 mil. OUR school budget went up 74% (!!!!!) vs. only 52% for muni, and that 52% INCLUDES DEBT SERVICE!!!!

This proves that Stanley's only job is to get Bristol to balance Warren's budget on Bristol's back!!!

I said it before and I'll say it again. PUT AWAY THE HOOVER FLAGS WARREN, we aren't buying it.
