Dear Cat,

You're right...again.

I do use that title as a "nod to my political ambitions." You will note that those ambitions are to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending". I challenged you to find just one other candidate in Warwick who has EVER said that. You didn't. I don't think there is one. There SHOULD BE, but there isn't. Maybe my campaign will stimulate a future candidate. Maybe. In either event since I invested $40,000+ of my own money, and over 1,000 days of my life, I feel that gives me the right to use that name. Don't you?

HillsgroveHal says that I "don't serve the City" because I am not an elected official, a city employee, firefighter, policeperson, etc." I totally agree with "Hal" that I am not EMPLOYED in any of those positions, but aren't those examples of the taxpayers serving the needs of those inside people? Those employees don't just "serve". They "charge", and in some cases they "charge" A LOT. Ask any of them to take a cut in pay or benefits or pension and you will see just who they really "serve". Most receive a fair amount of "taxpayers dollars" but some political insiders are costing taxpayers a fortune. I suspect HillsgroveHal is one of them. He complains about everything I say and says he has the right to use "HillsgroveHal" as his screen name just because he lives in the Hillsgrove area. Well, I live in the Warwick area. Plus, I am committed to serve (at no cost) the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab. Doesn't that give me just as much right as that anonymous coward of a critic? I think it does.

Hope you attend the "State-of-the-City" meeting tonight. (2/27/19) at 7 PM at Vets.

Happy "State-of-the-City-Day everyone.

The Taxpayers Mayor
