Lets be clear:
CAMILLE WILKINSON WAS A COMPLETE FISCAL FAILURE TO THE CITY OF WARWICK, AND EMBARRASSMENT, AND A FISCALLY INCOMPETENT BOOB.

WHo cares about Wilkinson...she just takes up space....everything she does is self serving.
As finance chair she did nothing to address WArwick s fiscal problem. Does empty dress come to mind when you thing of her so called accomplished ?

Let's be REAL clear:
The comments of Rob Cote (Thecaptain) and Roger Durant (Reality) stated above are their own opinions and they are completely entitled to them.
However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Camille Vella-Wilkinson just got honored with three important new committee assignments which could benefit all Warwick taxpayers.
For the record, I have strongly opposed her on certain issues as well, but attacking anyone in their hour of congratulations is not constructive criticism. It's destructive criticism and is in very poor taste. It serves no purpose and doesn't belong here. Now, if she sponsors legislation that I disagree with I will have no problem opposing it, but the same will be the case in reverse. If she deserves applause I will be the first to give it. I welcome Rob and Roger to join me when that happens. Let's see if they are able to give credit when credit is due.
Happy Spring everyone.

Rick, you never once stood up and made one argument about any issue that Vella Wilkinson (Warwicks Giant Pandera) was attached to. There has not been one occasion where you have demonstrated that you have the basic working knowledge of any issue pertaining to this city. In 6 years, the waste product known as Wilkinson did nothing positive for the community except to waste time and discredit taxpayers that are clearly more well versed than she. Her actions on the finance committee indicated complete lack of understanding of basic accounting practices. She did nothing to stem spending and voted 6 times to increases taxes. And you call yourself the cut taxes cut spending man but you cant even digest reality. All Wilkinson did was make false comments and waste time such as her debate about performing an audit (which never happened). And what have you done except to bloviate? You have not only failed to perform any analysis on any topic, but your non-debate proved that you have no working knowledge on any issue or any budget line item that effects this city. I would love to have an open debate with you on any budgetary item that you feel that you have working knowledge of, but thats like a golf game with an unrealistic handicap.

Rob Cote AKA "Thecaptain",
Don't lie.
You are well aware of my opposition to Camille regarding the Airport as well as other issues.
Unlike you , however, I won't JUST criticize. I feel it ruins a persons credibility if they JUST look at the negative side.
When someone deserves credit you need to recognize that as well. I have criticized AND commended you, Camille and many others.
I won't lie about issues. Right is right. Wrong is wrong and an opinion is NOT fact. It's just opinion, no matter how viciously you state it.
You often state your opinion as absolute undeniable, unquestionable fact, and sometimes you do it in all caps, as if doing that makes your comment somehow more believable. It doesn't. Your most recent comment that starts with "Rick, you never once..." has dozens of adjectives and demeaning opinions that you are stating as absolute fact when they are not at all factual.
Over the last few years I have watched your anger and negativity totally consume you. You have to know how damaging that is to your mental health. It is absolutely eating you alive.
Kill it Rob, before it kills you. Seek happiness. I have never known anyone that needed it more.
Take good care.
Rick

Rick, How can I put this so you understand it? You are ridiculous. Your opposition to the airport came after the airport deal was complete. In addition, the airport deal was complete long before you ever attended a city council meeting. You never criticized that deplorable excuse for a public servant, ever. BY the way, there is plenty to criticize in this city and very little to commend. That includes your behavior, and lack thereof proper behavior. Dont worry about my mental health. If I were you, I would worry about the 14 civil cases that you have had lodged against you that the plaintiff has prevailed in all. I would also worry about paying your taxes and making the city whole. The only thing that has been damaged is your credibility as a business man and taxpayer. One who fails to pay bills on a regular basis. There facts are all documented in court proceedings, all of which are publicly available for viewing. Those documents also include your child support adjudication where you testified that you could only afford to pay $10 per week to support your children. Please dont force me to release those as well by insulting my opposition to this city's spending and wasteful habits. The ability to understand when you are outmatched is admirable. You should work on that ability.

Hey Richard......I heard you offer solutions re. Teacher contracts etc but coming from someone who doesn't pay his taxes..... it,s a little disingenuous. Until you pay your fair share as you would say. " shut up "
