davebarry109, you'll be waiting quite awhile if you expect a response from Dick Corrente. This whole "renegotiate the airport agreement" is a fantasy of his — that only he, after 85 years of the airport being in Warwick [it started as "Hillsgrove State Airport" in 1931, for you history buffs] and expanding over the objections of residents and officials, could somehow get RIAC to change its mind and back off on any further growth.

He won't have an answer for you, except for possibly "AVEDISIAN BAD CORRENTE GOOD BUSINESS MAN."

This is just like the imaginary "favor" that Scott Avedisian got in a lower tax assessment on his home, when in fact he also got an increase on another property he owns.

Dick also claims that an assessment on his vacant lot in Potowomut tripled [it went up $5,000 from the original $3,700, which is NOT triple], fails to mention that his other investment property got a $5,000 reduction in assessment, and has yet to answer for the fact that the property he calls home is owned by an out-of-state LLC, meaning he doesn't pay taxes on it.

But don't take my word on it -- these guys dug right into Dick's claims and found them, shall we say, lacking: http://warwickpost.com/correntes-attacks-fail-on-the-facts/

Though I agree, davebarry, anytime Dick wants to actually answer for any of this, he's welcome to it.
