Dear Mark,

Respectfully, you're wrong.

Mr. Carbone ran as a Democrat in the Democratic Primary but he ran against Joe Solomon because he opposes Joe Solomon. Carbone has every right to support and vote for Stenhouse if he wants to. Warwick voters have gotten far from party politics. There is little party strength in the Republicans or the Democrats. Today, in my opinion, the two new opponents are the political insiders and the taxpayers. Joe is a political insider. He hit the taxpayers with the largest tax increase allowed by law and gave that money to the political insiders and literally bought their votes with taxpayers money. Mr. Carbone and I split the "taxpayers" or "political outsiders" vote and still received thousands of votes. Subtract the "political-insider votes and the outcome would be different I'm sure. I wonder what would happen if ALL taxpayers voted on that rain soaked day? I wonder what would have happened if Joe didn't have the "insider-votes"? Or all the PAC's donations. Maybe we'll find out next time. Maybe.

As far as me, I have not endorsed Solomon or Stenhouse yet. I met with Sue Stenhouse on three separate occasions and discussed The Corrente Plan with her. She agreed with several parts of it. If she puts some of it in her platform, I will endorse her. Not because she is a Republican but if she agrees with my ideas.

Nothing wrong with that Mark.

For my thinking, it's the message, not the person or party. As far as Joe, I called him four times. I'm still waiting for a return call.

I wish you well on your election and think you will be an excellent State Senator, but I think Ged Carbone has the right to his personal opinion. I wouldn't call it a "betrayal". You also called it "Odd...". I think that is a more accurate word.

Happy Autumn Mark.

Happy Autumn everyone.
