This was coming south around the corner on Newport Ave approaching St Margaret's I was just in traffic with everyone else going the same speed as everyone else at the start of rush hour.

I never said it was an excuse but a flashing school zone sign eliminates that as opposed to the static black and white signs the camera company put up.

If you don't understand that their signs are designed NOT to be seen I have a bridge to sell you.

There is no business in Rhode Island.

I lived in Rhody for 30 years. Grew up there, schooled there. Moved away with my family, as its not an amazing place to raise your children based upon tax structure, cost of living, and lack of business growth. This is unfortunately taking into account the unparalleled beauty of our coast.

Moved out of state and have seen my monthly costs plummet and overall cost of living improve.

I may eventually purchase a summer home in Rhody, for the amazing summers there, but I will not call it my primary place of residence.

The assistant principal seems to be some sort of 'activist' so its not likely it was being naive, and more likely horrible judgement sending that email. turtleboy has a little more on the assistant principle - https://tbdailynews.com/providence-assistant-principal-sends-email-to-teachers-soliciting-money-to-drug-cartel-coyotes-for-helping-student-cross-border-illegally/
