Baginski also confirmed that Joe Solomon would attend the 2018 Warwick Democratic Mayoral Forum. So did the Mayors office. Solomon, however, was a no-show. If that is the kind of broken-promises leadership the voters want, they should vote for Joe. If not, please vote for me. I return all phone calls and have been accountable from the first day.

Solomon promised, then reneged to assist Mayor Avedisian on the last budget; flip-flopped on the beach fees; has his signs on trees, telephone polls, City Property, sidewalks and just about every other illegal location.

He claims to live in Ward 4 (in order to represent it), but actually lives in Ward 5 for many years, and he's paying far less taxes on EVERY ONE of his properties than his neighbors do. That much of a discount CAN'T be a coincidence! His car dealership at 1120 West Shore Rd. has tax assessments that are LESS than what he bought the property for 29 YEARS AGO! And his home (where he really lives) at 21 Crawford has gone UP in assessed value by only $4,400 when every house on the street went up an average of over $38,000 and his neighbor, 26 Crawford went up $61,100. How is that possible? Did Joe rip off the second floor or is he ripping off the taxpayers? Are we paying MORE so that he can pay LESS?? I think so, and I have a solution. Have the appraisal company (Vision Technologies - scheduled to re-assess the entire City December, 2018) submit their findings electronically to the Warwick Beacon. Then, have the Warwick Beacon hit "forward" sending the accurate values to the City Hall and if any "changes" occur, as I am sure there has been for years, it will get noticed! We can stop the political insiders from receiving preferential treatment and it won't cost the taxpayers a dime! In fact, it will save them a fortune.

Happy Labor Day everyone
