"Tortured with questions and comments"- Rick Corrente

Oh the humanity. I'm sorry that you thought you'd run for mayor for 4 years and never get asked any tough questions. If you didn't want to be asked any tough questions, or have your record examined perhaps you shouldn't have run for PUBLIC OFFICE. "Tortured"? Exposing your terrible record of tax delinquency and litigagion losses is torturing a candidate for Mayor? Do you not believe a public servant should be able to pay their taxes on time?

Next, I've noticed Rick is very selective in who he criticizes for screen name use. When he first declared for office I congratulated him on here for putting his name out there. "Cut taxes, cut spending" sounds good, right? Then something started happening over the next few months. I would ask Rick a question, and I'd get an evasive answer with nothing but spin. I grew frustrated of that. You are a candidate for Mayor, not for 4th grade student council. So I began asking more specific, direct questions of Rick, hoping to see if there was any substance behind this "cut taxes, cut spending" plan. Rick grew frustrated with me and began calling me an Avedisian henchman. Really? For asking specifically how you would cut taxes? Weird.

Soon after Rob Cote (Captain) and Crickee (don't remember who was first, credit to both) had come across some pretty serious information. Rick Corrente had a history of late payments on his car taxes, he had a home foreclosed on and at one time owed over $13,000 in property taxes ('15-'16) that were paid by a 3rd party. I had to look into this myself, so I did. I found Captain and Crickees info online, and they were correct. I still had so many questions about the "Corrente plan" but figured I needed to hear Rick out on his delinquent taxes. So just like Captain and Crickee, I asked about the delinquent tax payments. Instead of coming clean with voters and telling the truth, Rick Corrente began calling each one of us a liar. This is not the behavior of a serious candidate. During that time Rick loaned his campaign $40,000 while still paying taxes late. When Rick Corrente uses words like "courage" and "totured" it is to distract from his mediocre record of unpaid bills and delinquent taxes. He may hope the rest of Warwick isn't paying attention, but while he's posting here free of charge...he WILL be held ACCOUNTABLE.
