In my campaign for Mayor of Warwick I have proposed energy deregulation for all 80,000 taxpayers. Solar is one of the areas I will focus on. I have already met with the people at "SolarFlair" and it seems that we can save the Warwick taxpayers more than we are proposing but that program is still being tweaked.

Additionally, our Lieutenant Governor Dan McGee has told me that he wants "over 40% of Rhode Islanders to enjoy an alternate electric company". (currently under 6%). Saving energy, through solar or an alternate electric company also save money and I am committed to do just that. I have on my team, some of the most experienced certified energy specialists in the nation. Rhode Island requires that they take a course specific to our state and each one has taken the proper classes and have received their certification. I will appoint a Director of Energy Deregulation, a position that will be at no cost to the taxpayer. We will all benefit from the knowledge we receive from these energy experts and it is my goal to have lower cost, deregulated electricity for every Warwick taxpayer that wants it. Be advised that National Grid is predicting a large increase in their rates starting in October.

Stay tuned on this one. The savings are real and the cost to the taxpayer, in my administration, will be zero.

Enjoy your Summer. Next Summer your air conditioning will cost less!
