Letter: In Westport, ’tis the time before voting

Posted

It’s the time before voting and all through Westport,

The plan for a new school needs our support.

The middle school’s abandoned.  The high school is old.

They both need replacement, the hard truth be told.

The building committee’s study has painstakingly found

A plan educationally and financially sound.

  

Town officials have all said “so moved”

As each step on the way they’ve approved.

And now it’s our civic duty, every woman and man,

To say “YES” to the future and vote for the plan.

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.
