These beaches NEED to be maintained and litter NEEDS to be removed. Warwick can unfairly charge that cost to ALL of Warwick taxpayers OR Warwick can charge that cost to just the beachgoers. Last December acting Mayor Solomon and the rest of the City Council UNANIMOUSLY voted to have those who enjoy the beaches, pay for the cleaning. Solomon has now "changed his mind". That, in my book, is political flip-flopping, and I don't agree with it at all. When ALL taxpayers pay for the cleanup, it unfairly takes money away from seniors and others who don't use the beaches as much. I feel that charging an amount that still is LESS than the state beaches and PROMOTING that low cost to the rest of Rhode Island will not only ease the clean-up cost on our taxpayers, it will attract new taxpayers who want an alternative to the costly state beaches.

Solomon has been acting Mayor for only a few months and he has already introduced THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE THE LAW ALLOWS!! Is that what the taxpayers need? Or do we need to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending"? Having the beachgoers take over the cost of cleaning our beaches would certainly help Warwick "Cut Spending" (from the City budget) therefore it would help Warwick "Cut Taxes". It's an idea we need to embrace. Tax and spend just doesn't work!

Happy Summer everyone.
