Keep it up, Dick Corrente. At this rate you'll turn off every online reader, as well as every voter in the city.

"If the Republican candidate can make a statement, shouldn't the Democrat be able to. [sic] I think so."

He's also the sitting mayor, Dick, and you apparently weren't there. So, it's really your failure not to attend a wonderful community event that's led you to post another screed against Avedisian on the Beacon comment boards.

Oh, and this gem: "Did you think we wouldn't look up the tax assessors web site?"

I have, and here's what I found in comparing the property where you live and the property where Scott Avedisian lives:

The address you list as home [177 Grand View Drive] had an assessment that stayed level for three years prior to this year's increase which the real owner -- Red Stick Acquisitions of LOUISIANA -- will be paying taxes on, and that the drop in the mayor's assessment amounted to $1,700. That's about $34 off his 2016 tax bill. You, on the other hand, received a 100% assessment reduction on the property where you live, since you sold it to an out-of-state corporation.

You're a tax cheat, Dick. Plain and simple. You sold your property so you wouldn't have to pay property taxes, sewer fees, and water bills like the rest of the actual homeowners in Warwick. You've created the conspiracy theory about Avedisian as a smokescreen, and you're failing to get any real traction with it, which clearly explains why you keep repeating it.

Oh, and before you start whining again about anyone's use of a screen name, maybe your research into the Revolution didn't include the part where people used pseudonyms when criticizing the British government or discussing what the Constitution would look like [see: The Federalist Papers].

This is the Beacon's comment board, not yours -- no matter how much you're paying for ads -- and they're the ones who can decide how people can comment -- not you. So, stop acting like everyone's cranky uncle complaining about pseudonymous comments.

And you're the one running for office, Dick -- you're supposed to be operating by different standards. Actually, I think I just proved that you ARE, just not in the way that any respectable candidate should be.
