I agree with Herb. What happens if the economy worsens and health insurance costs continue to rise? If the union is contributing 15% cost share in the old contract towards health insurance and the new contract being proposed requires 30% cost share towards health insurance why would the union negotiate? If the old contract has 3% raises built in, and the new proposal is calling for a 3 year pay freeze why would the union accept that deal? How can you "cut spending" if you aren't able to guarantee you'll be able to gain concessions? Another lie from Rick Corrente to the REAL taxpayers of Warwick.

Rick, you are wrong AGAIN. When mayor after mayor is lining up against this deal, when the league of cities and towns says it is a bad deal for taxpayers. How can you support this legislation? Again your willingness to pander, while showing total ignorance on every major issue facing our city is astonishing. When contract concessions aren't achieved guess what choices the city will be faced with? Raise taxes or cut services.

That is the difference between REAL mayors who actually get elected, and have to craft budgets to make numbers work and FAILED candidates who are all talk and zero substance (see. Corrente '16 mayoral debate). Rick, you once again prove why you and your message lost HUGE in the election.
