Report Inappropriate Comments

I agree with most of your comments about Joe Solomon and especially liked the Sgt. Shultz reference.

You also said he has "the most experience". I agree. That "experience" includes

1. voting for every tax increase this century.

2. paying far less taxes on his real estate than the rest of us. (his car dealership at 1129 West Shore Rd. has tax assessments that are less than what Joe paid for the real estate 29 years ago!)

3. flip-flopping on issues like the beach fees, the above annex report, and the debate. (he was a no-show)

4. promising in his mail-outs "first class service while keeping taxes down." (right AFTER he max-raised taxes)

5. Slapping the taxpayers with the largest tax increase allowed by law, giving the money to his political insiders to buy their votes (with taxpayer money) and not even being honest about where he lives. (He "claims" to live in ward 4 but actually lives in ward 5 where that house (21 Crawford) only went up in tax assessed value over the last two years by $4,400 when his ALL of the other 5 houses on Crawford went up by $61,100, $38,000, $46,200, $21,700, and $23,400) Did Joe rip off his second floor or is he ripping off the taxpayers?

WwkVoter, look up YOUR house on the Warwick Tax Assessors database and see if you agree that Joe is paying way WAY less than he should. Then read The Corrente Plan to see my solution. Hint: Send the appraisal findings to The Warwick Beacon FIRST, so they can't be "adjusted". Joe NEEDS to pay his fair share. You're right. This used car dealer has "experience". Maybe we need "change" instead.

Happy primary everyone.
