Phillip, you would have to direct me to where multiple people have been saying nothing but positives about Joe Solomon? Yes, we do go after Rick Corrente when he posts false information, lies about not paying his taxes, lies about his multiple foreclosures and many other issues. Had Rick Corrente come forward and said you know what? Taxes in this city are outrageous, the burden is too much and I have experienced this, it wouldn't even be an issue. Instead he has blamed his lender, or denied he was ever delinquent to begin with. This is unacceptable for ANY CANDIDATE.

Crickee, Captain, myself and others have all been critical of acting Mayor Solomon at different times when the time called for it. No one is immune to criticism in this city. When one looks at each candidate in the Democratic Primary we have 1 whose wife is being accused of Welfare fraud (Ferla), we have another who has a past of unpaid bills, litigation losses and tax delinquency (Corrente), another who believes Global Warming is a major campaign issue for Mayor (Carbone) and finally Joe Solomon who you (and others) believe is tight with the unions. Of the 4 Democratic candidates in the race I mentioned, I do believe Joe Solomon is the most qualified. However, you have to remember it is the primary, and the GOP candidate is running unopposed, so most of my comments are judging the race immediately in front of us. I also think there is something to Captains point and that is no matter who is elected, they have alot to prove in terms of reigning in spending. Phillip, do you believe a candidate who loaned his campaign $40,000, lost by a 2-1 margin, and currently has $34.13 in the bank this election is the candidate who will reign in spending? Objectively speaking I would say that is a pretty good indication of a candidates fiscal responsibility. It is the first sign we get of how they manage a budget.

I respect your comments, I just thought it was an unfair characterization, and its a false talking point Mr Corrente has repeated suggesting any negative comment against him comes from an employee of Joe Solomon. That is a baseless lie, that should not be fed into by anyone. I would invite you to ask Mr Corrente questions, as I have. Maybe you'll have better luck getting a detailed answer than I did.
