WwkVoter, here we see, yet again, the make-believe mayor's shamelessness in repeating statements that have been proven to be lies.

"[Avedisian] accepted 237 Political Action Committee (PAC) checks."

This is a lie. The total number of contributions listed as being from PACs between Jan. 1, 2016 and Election Day was 28.

"My campaign got 29 taxes 'CUT' from the budget."

This is a lie. The city council proposed and passed 29 amendments that reduced the original $7.25 million budget increase to $6.5 million and kept the tax rate the same -- taxes were not cut, and spending was not cut. None of the city council members ever -- ever -- cited the make-believe mayor's failed campaign and wasted spending for those decisions.

"I will win this election with the first person who votes for me."

This is a lie. Election winners get the most votes. The make-believe mayor will not "win" when he gets fewer votes than other candidates.

"Warwick is already over a BILLION DOLLARS in debt."

This is a lie recycled from the losing 2014 election, and is still untrue. The debt carried by the sewer and water departments is not part of the main city budget, and are paid by user fees and not property or commercial taxes.

And his statement "I earned and received over 14,000 votes according to WJAR Newswatch 10" proves that he doesn't know how to find the records from the Rhode Island Board of Elections, which are here: https://www.ri.gov/election/results/2016/general_election/warwick/

As you rightly point out, he ignored the fact that Mayor Avedisian received 26,281 votes -- or nearly double the number that the make-believe mayor received.

"If, however, just the political insiders vote, Joe will be the last one standing."

This is another pathetic statement aimed at tricking voters into forgetting that the make-believe mayor took campaign contributions from some of the same people who are supporting Joe Solomon this year, and who the make-believe mayor is calling "political insiders."

It's also an accusation against thousands of voters who do not need to be "insiders" to see the many defects in the make-believe mayor's character and understand that he is completely unfit for office.

The make-believe mayor once again willingly makes a pathetic spectacle of himself through is uninformed and false statements -- and honest, taxpaying voters will respond appropriately by overwhelmingly rejecting his candidacy again on Sept. 12.
