Mr. McKenney, don't pay any attention to the Democratic primary loser. His authority on virtually any topic in Warwick is zero, and he proves it again by speaking for Mr. Carbone and repeating the conspiracy theories that led directly to his blowout loss to Mayor Solomon in September.

"Joe is a political insider."

A year ago, the two-time election reject was calling then-Council President Solomon and the council "the taxpayers' council."

"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."

First, there is no evidence that Mayor Solomon "bought" any votes. The two-time election reject also ignores the fact that $4.5 million of the FY19 budget increase is paying for the increased costs of the new teachers' contract, which the two-time election reject repeatedly supported.

Second, the two-time election reject supported -- and even claimed credit for -- the FY18 budget that did not increase revenue enough to cover the $6.5 million increase in spending, which led directly to the maximum tax hike in the current budget.

And third, the two-time election reject accepted campaign contributions from the same people he is now calling "insiders" when he lost in 2016, which proves that if people are not giving him money, he will turn his back on them.

"I have not endorsed Solomon or Stenhouse yet."

The endorsement of the two-time election reject will make zero difference for either candidate. He is delusional to think that Sue Stenhouse will use any part of his set of empty slogans that he calls a plan, or that Mayor Solomon owes him a return call.

Please take my advice, and the follow the example of the thousands of honest, taxpaying voters who rejected his candidacy again in 2018, Mr. McKenney, and stay as far away as possible from the two-time election loser.
