I noticed there is no comment from "The Tax Delinquents Mayor" Rick Corrente. Its important to note the reasoning for this: Rick Corrente wants to RAISE BEACH FEES on EVERY DRIVING RESIDENT to pay for beach cleanup. He has attacked Mayor Solomon for delaying the fees and looking at alternatives that will not cost taxpayers additional money. These part time employees cleaning our beaches cost taxpayers very little to maintain the beach, they also ensure the beach gets cleaned without RAISING FEES. Will Rick Corrente give credit to Joe Solomon for delaying the beach fees, while also finding ways to keep our beaches clean WITHOUT THE FEES.

This again speaks to Rick Correntes laziness as a candidate. Rather than come up with a full comprehensive plan to keep our beaches clean, he preferred to just RAISE FEES. How many other campaign issues will Rick Corrente look to solve by RAISING TAXES AND FEES?

By his own admission he wants to:

-Cut checks to retirees to forego their pensions (new spending or even worse borrowing)

-Cut checks to new homebuyers (new spending)

-Freeze permit fees for 2 years (slashing revenue)

Where does the money come from? All of these ideas are gutting money coming into the city. How will that money be made up? Will Rick Corrente again be looking to raise fees and take the easy way out? He hasn't suggested ONE area of spending he will cut in almost 4 years of running. So how does the city make up for all of this lost money? The remaining choices are to increase taxes or slash city services. As we've seen with beach fees "The Tax Delinquents Mayor" takes the easy way out (RAISING FEES) how many other issues will he take the easy way out on?
