Here's what that means to the citizens of Rhode Island; more flights to Europe at lower costs and that's a great benefit for all Rhode Islanders.

Here's what that means to the taxpayers of Warwick; more noise pollution, more soil pollution, more water pollution and more air pollution and that's horribly bad for the taxpayers of Warwick that are paying the tab.

That's why I remain steadfast in my goal of renegotiating the airport agreement to the greater benefit of the Warwick taxpayers.

If the RIAC can afford to sent flights to and from Europe they can afford the upgrades to the surrounding homeowners that they promised before they "ran out of money".

There is a drainage pipe leading directly from the Airport into Warwick Pond. I have kayaked there. I've seen it from 20 feet away. I had a hard time breathing. My eyes were watering. I decided not to sample tasting the water like I had planned to do. The very least the RIAC can do in a public service gesture is pay to clean up Warwick Pond.

There is no law that says just because the expansion agreement is completed and signed by the Mayor it can't be renegotiated, amended, improved upon, or made better. I plan on doing just that. The RIAC was given over 100 homes to increase their runway. In return, the Warwick taxpayers got nothing and our taxes went up to offset the tax losses of "over 100 homes".

I can't accept that. Can you?

Happy Spring everyone.
