Dear Thecaptain and knowthetruth4,

Mayor Avedisian has a simple, 3-step method of administration.

1. Set a budget.

2. Overspend the budget. (as Thecaptain mentions above)

3. Raise taxes to pay for it all.

He has done this for 16 long years. He has raised the cash to buy a lot of votes through hundreds of political kick-back jobs. I am running for Mayor representing the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab. We 80,000 are paying the salaries...and benefits...and lifetime pensions of all those people that Avedisian "bought". He hired 4 "Chiefs-of-Staff in 14 months. That alone will cost taxpayers over a million dollars.

As for the Warwick School Department, he has spent over a BILLION of Warwick taxpayers dollars since 2009 and his "hands-off" policy left us with teachers with no contracts, students with no Chromebooks, buildings that are literally falling down and a Mayor that refuses to get involved. I won't be that kind of Mayor. My "I care" policy will make me as involved as the law allows. After all, the Mayor is responsible for the taxpayers money, or at least he should be. In either event, I will be.

Enjoy your Summer.
