I was there last night.
Solomon gave a detailed report to the taxpayers. (First one of this century!) It wasn't all rosy as some critics claimed it would be. He was serious. He was transparent. He was what Avedisian should have been since 2000. He exposed the many behind-the-scenes deals Avedisian was infamous for. He took accountability and responsibility for correcting them and shared the credit with the other union leaders, City Council members, and department heads for it. The Avedisian dealings and hidden agenda has been vastly improved even by giving the "State-of-the-City" address last night, something Avedisian would never have done. Enormous problems caused by Avedisian have been uncovered. Mismanagement of funds by Avedisian's administration was found everywhere! Everyone in that audience last night left with a belief that Warwick is in better hands now that Avedisian is gone. A Mayor who mismanaged the taxpayers money in every department of the City, went on vacation 14 times in 12 months, and worked for RIPTA while he was Mayor, had to go. I only wish someone had stopped him sooner.
Happy St. Patricks everyone.
Rick Corrente
The Taxpayers Mayor
