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?

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.
