Report Inappropriate Comments

When Rob Cote, (AKA "Thecaptain") is right, he's right, and he's spot on when it comes to this investment vs. return-on-investment regarding the airport expansion. He accurately reported that "flights are down 31%" and that the mayor "sold us out". That's why I have campaigned strongly for the last several years that, as Mayor, I will "renegotiate the airport agreement". Warwick taxpayers are paying higher taxes, in part, because the mayor gave away the tax revenue of over one hundred houses and all Warwick taxpayers received was air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and soil pollution. My critics complained that "You can't renegotiate it! It's a done deal!" But we all know better. Anything can be renegotiated, can't it? Sure it can! As a matter of fact our new State Representative Camille Vella-Wilkenson did just that. She introduced legislation that will have the R.I. Airport Authority pay an additional one million dollars a year as a PILOT (payment-in-lieu-of-taxes). What a simple solution! Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't my critics? I guess Camille Vella-Wilkenson is a whole lot smarter than we all are.

She must be.

WAY-TO-GO-CAMILLE-VELLA-WILKENSON!!

Happy Summer Camille and husband Ken.

Happy Summer everyone.
