After just two years of total control over the city budget, here are the results of the Democratic city council's decisions: A "structural deficit of $3.8 million," as stated by Council President Merolla, a state-capped maximum tax increase in FY19, and grandstanding political attacks.

This is the same council that put $4 million into the asphalt line item, only to take it back.

Now they're blaming the former mayor, criticizing the Republican candidate, and issuing calls to give this same city council more control over the school budget.

If their motive was to show that they can run Warwick differently from Avedisian, the city council is certainly succeeding -- just not in the way that they might intend.
