Report Inappropriate Comments

Compliments to the Beacon reporter who did not allow one of the make-believe mayor's claims to go unchallenged:

- "Corrente argues that Warwick has lost 5,800 “taxpaying residents” over the last 10 years. According to the U.S. Census, the population decrease is closer to 2,000 over the last seven years and 5,000 over the last 17 years."

However, the reporter still did not correct this false statement: “Avedisian introduced 29 new taxes and was defeated on every single one of them by a brave city council."

No, this is a lie by the make-believe mayor. The city council proposed 29 amendments to the FY18 budget that reduced it by $750,000 while still increasing spending by $6.5 million and leaving a $4.2 million deficit that the FY19 budget has to cover. Avedisian did not "introduce 29 new taxes."

The make-believe mayor is also flip-flopping when he credits the city council with being "brave" in FY18 but attacking Mayor Solomon for this year's tax increase -- the current budget's state max tax increase is a direct result of those "brave" FY18 budget decisions by the council.

This new article will -- along with the proof that he has not paid taxes on his residence since 2014 and is not paying the sewer and water fees on that property -- show honest, taxpaying voters that they are right to reject his candidacy again this year.
