Letter: Regionalization would lead to tax hike, teacher abuse

Posted

To the editor:

In regards to the Portsmouth Town Council voting to study regionalization of Newport and Portsmouth schools:

• Newport spends taxpayers money with reckless abandon … and is broke! They want to use the Portsmouth taxpayer as an ATM machine.

• Some of their students abuse their teachers with seeming impunity.

Just what more do the socialists on the Portsmouth Town Council need to know?

I don't want to pay for Newport's uncontrolled spending and massive debt, nor do I want our Portsmouth teachers abused.

Don't you socialists ever get anything right?
