Hello again Scal and WwkVoter:

Thanks for your kind words, WwkVoter. I share your sense of disbelief in the make-believe mayor's claims, which is rightly based on how often his prior statements have been proven false once the true information is provided.

Please allow me to make an example of his latest statement that "According to MSN there are over 10,000 people employed by the City of Warwick."

First, the make-believe mayor does not provide a direct link to any website, document, or other source -- so, for starters, his claim is suspect because he provides no independent data for it.

Second, the City of Warwick publishes a personnel supplement to every annual budget. Here is the one for FY18: https://www.warwickri.gov/sites/warwickri/files/pages/fy18_personnel_supplement.pdf

On page 7 is a chart detailing all of the personnel in municipal jobs and the water and sewer departments. In the next-to-last column is the total: 838 for municipal and 904 for water/sewer -- or 1,742.

Third the school department reports the following numbers of positions for FY19, found at this link: https://bit.ly/2sy2tWG

Professional management and administration [p. 26]: 44.5

Middle Management [p. 27]: 14.7

Professional Personnel [p. 28]: 839.2

Classified [p. 30]: 371.2

Other support personnel [p. 31]: 64

School total: 1,333.6

Fourth, basic math shows the following:

School + municipal: 1742 + 1333.6 = 3075.6

Even the make-believe mayor will tell you that 3,075.6 does not equal 10,000 -- that is, if he weren't so intent on misleading people.

So, whatever source the make-believe mayor thinks he's quoting, the actual publicly-available and easily verifiable data shows that -- once again -- he is lying.

As he has so often before, the make-believe mayor found some random bit of information and twisted it into a false claim that he somehow thinks will prove him worthy of election. But five minutes of research found that his statement is completely false -- as in, there is literally no truth to what he is saying.

And as you have rightly observed, WwkVoter, this means the make-believe mayor is completely unfit for any office, and that honest, taxpaying voters will overwhelmingly reject his campaign again based on the many defects in his candidacy, including his repeated attempts to lie to them.
