I shouldnt even address this but let me explain my position on taxes, they should be spent as effectively as possible within a policy structure that takes into account future obligations, and doesnt over-promise.

as to the town clown candidate's "plan", it involved giving people money to buy houses in warwick which is as unaffordable as it is unneeded since homes sell very quickly in warwick, and also "buy outs" for pension holders which is simply totally unaffordable. the election joke then uses - over and over again- demonstrably false statistics to make his - if you can call his childish drivel this - case. when told the facts were wrong, conflated, and sometimes plain made up, the two time election blowout-loss artist either ignores the corrected information, or spews even more BS. not to mention his eviction for nonpayment of taxes, and a pattern of lawsuits and court losses as shown here by rob cote's research.

despite the severe challenges we face, and they are severe, the last thing we needed was someone hollering "cut taxes" who is in fact, ignorant, dishonest, self-contradictory, and when he feels like it, verbally abusive. not to mention utterly lacking in experience or even basic understanding of how the government operates. (and yet calls himself "mayor" anyway!)

I think most people would rather leave the mayors office EMPTY than put such a clown in that important job.

fortunately, because joe solomon chose to run, we didnt have to make that choice. hopefully he will be strong and do the right things that he needs to do as difficult as the job will be. joe has double duty to make up for to some extent having ignored some alarm bells for years as we descended to this critical point.

and finally, while we see criticism on all manner of public workers, the vast majority of our city employees show up everyday and do a great job and are dedicated. they make this city run every day. we need fiscal stability and integrity of operation for them as much as for the tax base.
