Thank you Bethany, Joan and Rhea for making our city more inviting with your memorial to your friend Meredith.

If you start a trend of beautification and others follow we will actually attract visitors that will evolve into new homeowners and new taxpayers which will lower taxes on the rest of us. I promise, I will do my part as Mayor, to attract new taxpayers. We presently don't have "Welcome to Warwick" signs to attract new taxpayers. We will. (even the impoverished Smith Hill section of Providence has one). We don't have a "Welcome to Warwick" magazine to attract new taxpayers. We will. (and at no cost to the Warwick taxpayer because the advertising will cover the cost of printing) We don't even have any Christmas decorations. Actually we do, but Mayor Avedisian refuses to put them up. When I am Mayor, we will. We will even decorate those 6 wrought iron window boxes that adorn City Hall (and have been empty for years) to make it more inviting. Maybe, Bethany Joan and Rhea, you could start the volunteer committee for it!? Maybe we could even have a "Christmas Dedication" on December 28th, the anniversary of Meredith's passing. We can call this project "The Meredith Memorial Project" unless you have a better name. I think Meredith would approve, don't you?

Please contact me at 338-9900. I would love to discuss it with you.
