Dear Cat,

I did not call you a coward. I don't think I ever have.

I did however, challenge you to offer a better plan than mine or admit that there isn't one. That was 1-15-2019 and so far you haven't. Today is 1-17, and I still feel that the Corrente Plan is the best plan for the interests of the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab. Those are the people that I am committed to. Not the political insiders. The problem is that in a primary, the political insiders vote in great numbers and very few others do. Cut into my votes with a second "political outsider" candidate in nice-guy Carbone; make it downpour all day on the primary, and my chances were ultra-slim. Warwick decided the primary with just over 10,000 votes, predominantly from political insiders. What a poor voter turnout. That's entirely my fault for not reaching enough of them.

But, back to you. I'm glad to learn that you don't consider yourself a "political insider". As for "signing up" as one, I doubt you would be willing to pay the price of admission. (it involves your soul). You appear to have far too much integrity and self respect.

A firefighter friend of mine had his wife offered a political job. He refused it because, as he said to me, "I don't want to have that much political debt." Cat, it's far worse than ANY student debt! In NEVER gets paid off and the interest rate is 3 or 4 times whatever you are paying.

You are right about me "putting my plan out there for everyone to see ". I don't mind. It does open me up to criticism, but if you can't think of a better plan, maybe you should agree with mine, or at least give me credit for presenting one. When you say "how" you plan on making Warwick a better city, your opponents (or their henchmen) will obviously attack you. Did any other candidate answer the question "How"? They didn't did they. You said "The people have spoken", but you have to admit, it wasn't many.

In either event I will also agree (just this once) with WwkVoter. You really ARE an inspiration.

Happy Valentines Cat.
