As I recall, there was a lot more in Avedisians war chest than $15,000. Whatever happened to the 237 Political Action Committee donations he received that I verified through the Board of Elections. Add that to his lifetime $80,000-a-year taxpayer-funded pension (plus full benefits) as well as his $140,000+- taxpayer-funded salary at RIPTA and I hope readers will forgive me if I seem a little skeptical. I think they will.

As a licensed mortgage broker I have written several mortgages for people involved in "charitable organizations". I noticed that although the organization was "non-profit" the people involved were making huge salaries, huge expense accounts, cars, air fare, dinners, so-called conventions, and a whole lot more.

So here is my question. Is Scott Avedisian getting any money or benefits for being the head of this charitable foundation or would that be confidential information? I'm sure the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab here in Warwick would like to know.

Happy Summer everyone.
