Report Inappropriate Comments

Dear PaulHuff and John Simineau Sr.

First I greatly respect the two of you for giving your "honest" comments from and "honest" name. It shows integrity.

Second, I totally agree with your comments except for one thing. You both know the issues I have with Mayor Solomon. However, I have to give credit where credit is due. He is doing a vastly improved job of finding ways to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending". Just go to any City Council meeting. Spending money, especially if it is "over budget money" used to be rubber-stamped. NOT TODAY! Agreed that he is still raising taxes but the attitude is much more taxpayer-friendly than Avedisian. Plus, he actually shows up for work! No monthly vacations. No part-time jobs at RIPTA. He shows up! Finance Chair Ed Ladouceur and this new Mayor are watching every taxpayers dollar. Let's cut them some slack. (By the way, not all Democrats are "tax-and-spend" types. John Kennedy wrote the "Income Tax Reduction Act of 1061", largely credited for the booming economy of the 60's). I am also, NOT a tax-and-spend Democrat. So there's two!)

Happy Valentines everyone.
