dear Scal1024,

I get it. You don't like me. That's OK. But you have criticized literally everything I have ever said or done. When I spent "over $40,000 of my own money" in the last election you criticized me. When I didn't in this election, (mostly because I already had plenty of signs) you criticized me. The point that you NEVER mentioned, oddly enough, is the fact that I never took a Political Action Committee (PAC) check. Avedisian took 237 of them and Solomon took even more, (I think), and you, of all people know Scal, that there has NEVER been one PAC check given without strings attached. NEVER has a PAC said "We don't expect ANYTHING in return." We don't expect ANY preferential treatment." "Just take our money and when we want something in return, act fairly. Don't vote in ANY WAY that isn't in the taxpayers best interest."

Scal I don't take PAC money. Won't it be refreshing to have a Mayor that is only obligated to the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab and not the political insiders?

Why don't you attack Joe Solomon? You say that you are NOT a henchman for him but you never mention how he lives in Ward 5 but he "claims" he lives in Ward 4, at 180 Shawomet Ave. just so he can represent Ward 4.

You never mention how from 2015 to 2017 his house at 21 Crawford only went up in assessed value by only $4,400 when EVERY OTHER HOUSE ON CRAWFORD went up by $21,700 to $61,100, and the average Scal, was over $38,000!

You never mention how his car dealership at 1061 West Shore Rd. is tax assessed at only $168,900, less than he paid for it 29 years ago!! And now he's selling it for more than three times that amount!

You never mention the other house he owns at 54 Hess and how that house "somehow" went DOWN in assessed value by $39,700. (from 2015 to 2017)

Scal, what about that house at 180 Shawomet? The tax assessed value of that Bay-front home "somehow" went DOWN by $25,700 when his neighbor's houses went UP by a similar amount.

Joe also owns 101061 Warwick Ave. That commercial building "somehow" went DOWN as well in the 2015 - 2017 years by over $20,000!!!

All this from a guy that just slapped the taxpayers with the LARGEST TAX INCREASE ALLOWED BY LAW!!!

Scal; how can you possibly say that you are NOT a henchman for Joe Solomon if you keep ignoring what he is doing to the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab? Huh Scal?

Taxpayers are paying outrageous tax increases and Joe Solomon voted for every tax increase THIS CENTURY! Joe Solomon wants taxes to go up on everybody in Warwick...except him of course.

I have a plan Scal to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending". You can read all about it at "correnteformayor.com". I campaigned for over 700 days in a row, spent over $40,000 of my own money, rallied the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab and got 29 taxes CUT from the 2017 budget, and I wasn't even in office...yet.

Warwick taxpayers love me Scal. They tell me EVERY DAY. If you don't, I can live with that.

Happy August Scal1024.

Happy August everyone.
