Vento accuses Travers of altering minutes to hide surplus use
School committee member Joseph Vento charged Superintendent Edward Travers with editing June meeting minutes to misstate the board’s intent. He alleged collusion with Town Administrator Augustine Nunes and Chairman Fred Ferris over year end surplus handling. After two hours of debate, the committee accepted the superintendent’s version. Vento pointed to discrepancies between a draft and the final dialogue version, noting a motion by Thomas Barr on year end expenditures. He claimed the minutes’ second clause change created a false authorization for a special needs account. Barr defended his motion, while Vento pressed the issue as the town council probes the $34,000 balance transfer.

Car owners face higher taxes as used car values rise
Bristol property records show many cars increasing in value despite aging and mileage. Tax Assessor Joseph Cabral cited the National Automobile Dealers Used Car Guide as the basis for values, with 10,000 cars in town appraised by Data Processing in East Providence. Taxpayers complain the book does not reflect wear or mileage, but officials say the book governs the tax unless local adjustments exist.
