Dear Justanidiot,

Thank you for your kind words.

I will do my best and I have no interest in being anyone but the Mayor of Warwick. Again, thank you for believing.

Dear Chickee, Scal, and Paul,

My information comes from the City of Warwick Financial Reports as regulated by the Government Accounting Standards Board.If you disagree with those facts, that is your choice, but don't yell at me. Yell at them.

Fact: Warwicks' debts DOUBLED from 2005 to 2015.

Fact: Avedisian was Mayor throughout that time.

Fact: They almost doubled again from 2015 to 2016. (from 388 million to 770 million)

Fact: He was Mayor then too.

Fact: Ernie Zmyslinsky compared it to a "homeowners mortgage". (Ernie, what mortgage balance DOUBLES in one year???)

Fact: Ernie says "it is not all due and payable today!" He's right but I was not referring to the "due date" I was referring to the "total amount due" that DOUBLED. As finance director for Warwick, I would hope Ernie knew that.

Fact: Warwick owes $770 million and if it doubles again this year, like it did last year, Warwick will owe $1.5 Billion. Do the math. It isn't what any of us wants to believe, but these are the FACTS.

I have a plan to attract new taxpayers that will reduce the taxes on the rest of us, with tax rebate checks for new home buyers and new businesses, a moratorium on building permit fees to stimulate construction that will add new tax revenue forever, a voluntary pension buyout program that will provide a win-win for retirees as well as the City, the hiring of a grant writer like Central Falls did, a hiring freeze which will make the jobs of present employees secure and when we have to hire a new employee, a lower starting salary (starting with the Mayors).

Don't bother looking for Avedisians plan. There isn't one. He has raised your taxes every year for 16 years in a row. If you think that is a good idea, vote for him. If you like my plan, vote for me. Fair enough?

Enjoy Autumn.
