Rhode Island is ranked last out of 50 states because of one simple factor. We are no longer TEA (Taxed Enough Already). We are now TBAR'd (Taxed Beyond All Reason), especially in Warwick where I am running for Mayor with an absolute commitment to "Cut Taxes, Cut Spending".

I recognize that we can't attract businesses from other states, since they all are in a better business climate than Rhode Island. We can only grow our businesses by attracting them from within state boundaries. I propose a tax rebate check to any brick-and-mortar business that locates in Warwick from outside our city. I the last ten years, Warwick has lost 4,666 businesses according to the U.S. Census and the R.I. Secretary of States office. Citizens Bank recently moved over 1,000 employees from Jefferson Blvd. to East Providence and Johnston, and they took their spending money with them. We need a Mayor that will promote Warwick and motivate businesses to invest in Warwick. The present Mayor motivates them to leave. I sincerely believe that I will be the Mayor that attracts new businesses.
