Dear Cat2222,

I have often written about the "allegation of record tampering."

When I ran against Avedisian I wrote how the taxes on my land in Potowamut almost tripled in one year, (the second year of my campaign against him) and how the taxes on my home increased by about $1,000 while Avedisians taxes on his home decreased by a similar amount in that same year.

Avedisians Chief-of-Staff, Mark Carruolo, owns a house at 18 Hendricken Court. He bought it in 1997. His tax assessed value today is DOWN to less than what it was 15 YEARS AGO!!! ($219,700 today. $227,000 in 2004) Zillow says that his house INCREASED IN VALUE by $80,000 just since January 2016! How is THAT possible on a house that is going DOWN in assessed value unless someone is "tampering"? (Hey Cat2222, look up what happened to YOUR assessed value during that 2004-2018 timeframe)

This election, against Joe Solomon, it was more of the same.

He owns a car dealership at 1129 West Shore Rd. that has a tax assessed value that is less than what he paid for that property 29 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!! I challenge you to find ANY other property in Warwick that enjoyed that kind of preferential treatment. (or anywhere else in the USA!)

I also wrote about his present home at 21 Crawford that went up by a paltry $4,400 in assessed value over the last two years, while his neighbor went up $61,000! In fact, all the other houses on Crawford increased in assessed value over the last two years by an average of $38,000.

Want more? OK. He also owns a house at 54 Hess in Warwick Neck that somehow went DOWN in assessed value by $39,700 over the last two years.

Still want more? OK. He also owns 180 Shawomet, (where he claimed he lived so he could represent ward 4). That house went DOWN in assessed value over the last two years, by $25,700 and it's ON THE WATER!

There's more but I think I proved my point...again.

Still not convinced? Call Vision Technologies at 401-435-0033. I did. They defended themselves when I did my due diligence and asked about these properties. They said they gave an accurate evaluation to the City. What happens after that is out of their control.

Cat2222, I have been analyzing real estate appraisals for over forty years. What I have seen from Avedisian, Carruolo, and Solomon is either the biggest coincidence in the history of mankind, or it's tampering. I firmly believe it's the second answer.

Want a solution? Here it is.

I suggest that, starting with this upcoming assessment of the entire City, which begins this December, Warwick sends the findings from Vision Technologies direct to The Warwick Beacon and have them "forward" the appraisals to the City. That way if the IS any tampering, The Beacon will notice it and hopefully report it. With that system of checks and balances, we would stop this alleged tampering from ever happening again. It would require legislation that I have proposed to both Solomon and Stenhouse. We could save the taxpayers a fortune without it costing them a penny. (It is item # 1 in The Corrente Plan)

Is that enough "proof" or are you going to find where I am off by a penny or two and attempt to discredit the whole picture like others try. Up to you.

Happy Autumn Cat2222.

Happy Autumn everyone.
