I am also highly suspicious of this delay in releasing the audit. To Cat's point, it's very likely that the audit will disprove the mayor's claims about the city's financial health, and he doesn't want that to come out.

Specifically, I think this audit will show that, contrary to Solomon's repeated protests, he was just as responsible as Avedisian for the current financial mess. It could also show that the $24 million surplus reported three years ago was raided by Solomon and the council to paper over the irresponsible budgets they passed.

What Solomon may not understand -- despite 20 years in Warwick government -- is that an audit is meant to be an objective report on the city's finances, not a political tool that he can use to keep distracting people from his own bad decisions.
