For approximately the 20th time, I am posting the link to verifiable proof that completely debunks claims by the fake "mayor" about the business sector in Warwick: http://warwickpost.com/numbers-game-corrente-claims-of-lost-businesses-dont-add-up/

For the benefit of readers who value honesty, here is the factual and provably correct data about Warwick's business sector, excerpted from the article linked above an in multiple other comment threads on this site:

1.: [W]hile the Census showed 8,410 firms in 2007 in Warwick, updated numbers from the U.S. Census showed 8,299 firms in the city as of 2012 — a difference of 111.

2.: [T[he Rhode Island Secretary of State reported 4,485 businesses in Warwick in an email to the city dated July 20, 2016 that she provided to the Post — a net increase of 735 since Corrente last gathered information from that department.

3.: The city’s numbers, reflected in an April 13, 2015 response to Corrente’s public records request and furnished to the Post, show yet another trend: A net gain of 98 businesses from 2007 through 2012 [3,835 to 3,933], and a total of 3,844 reported in 2014. Overall, that means the city added a net of nine businesses between 2007 and 2014.

4.: What is clear from a correct review of the data is that whatever the methodology, none of the reporting entities — the city, the state, or the U.S. Census — show anything near the 4,666 lost businesses since 2007 that Corrente is claiming.

That he chooses to ignore the many opportunities provided to him to admit to his falsehood and the data that shows him to be a liar only further proves his unfitness for office. It is a certainly that he will ignore this opportunity, as well, as shown by his bullying behavior and repeated attempts to deflect from the truth about businesses in Warwick by discussing its population.

Were the fake "mayor" a person of the slightest integrity, he would take his own advice and "shut up." He has proven, however, that he lacks the slightest ability to acknowledge his error; that he prefers to cast Warwick in the poorest light that he can imagine for his own political purposes; and that he remains a failed candidate desperately clinging to some imaginary sense of popularity by polluting this site with his fraudulent claims.
