To the editor :

This week’s Phoenix notes that Bristol’s Director of Community Development is recommending that additional annual funding be set aside to fix future problems envisaged due to the problematic siting of the future high school. Did we not have the same problem with the old high school and why is $200 million not enough to solve this problem? And how about the questionable approval for the future hotel on an existing wetlands and adjacent swamp? And what will we do with the abandoned high school, unusable for any other purpose ?
Is it still too late to change the school site? What are we doing with the unused abandoned high school? Did anyone notice that the new hotel at the casino in Tiverton is still closed three years after its construction with no future feasibility in sight? How about us hiring a real town planning expert or perhaps just a few wild beavers to solve the drainage?
