WwkVoter, I don't disagree with the overall idea of your point. However, I believe residents should be exempt from paying this tax initially to see if the funds are there by charging non residents first. I would make it $10 for non residents only. This will begin to put more money into the fund to clean the beaches. The beaches are already being cleaned, we need to devote more resources towards them. There are already city employees cleaning the beaches, lets increase the amount of workers, taking other parks and recs employees and having them assist in those runs. There are also teens cleaning the beaches in the summer, I would increase the number of part time employees cleaning our beaches. The more eyes and manpower on the beach, the better. We're also starting a fund with the $10 fee from non residents .

This differs from Richard Correntes plan which is to RAISE FEES on EVERY DRIVING RESIDENT in the city of Warwick. This is regressive toward residents who already pay taxes on their car, and will now be asked to pay MORE in beach fees. I applaud Joe Solomon for atleast listening to voters and delaying the fees. There has to be a better, less regressive way to collect fees. Richard Corrente doesn't seem to think so.
