Here's an idea that I have stated repeatedly.

There are over one thousand Warwick customers that owe over a thousand dollars EACH on their water bills. Now that the election is over and the Mayor doesn't have to worry about losing their votes, why doesn't Warwick collect! (that is over a million dollars!) And while we are at it, why doesn't Warwick collect from the thousands of delinquent customers that owe a little LESS THAN A THOUSAND dollars as well. Now that the Mayor doesn't need them to put a sign on their businesses (even though it labels their business as a Republican establishment) why doesn't Warwick collect. That would lessen the need to overcharge the rest of the taxpayers.

The election is over. The bills are due. Avedisian is claiming that the rate hike will "unfairly burden residents", yet in the next statement he says he "wasn't party to the negotiations." Why wasn't he?

Why wasn't he?

WHY WASN'T HE?

Here is what is going to happen next in my opinion. The rate hike will go into effect. Avedisian will take no accountability or responsibility for it and the 80,000 Warwick citizens will get overcharged AGAIN! Damn it !!!

To the 13,278 good people who voted for me, I'm sorry I let you down, although I am exceptionally proud of running the longest and one of the cleanest campaigns in Warwick history. (We accepted ZERO political action committee checks. Avedisian accepted 237 checks according to the Board of Elections) I would be wholly responsible to you, the taxpayer, and I would have as much influence over this issue as the law allowed. I would take part in the negotiotions as much as the law allowed. The bills wouldn't increase a penny more than is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

The career politician had 237 political action committees backing him. Now he needs to be accountable to them, all the while stating he "was not a party to the negotiations".

In the meantime Avedisian will say politically-appropriate things that sound good, claiming he sees the findings as "unfair and unreasonable", but in the end he will do nothing to stop the rate increase. Stay tuned to the 2018 elections. 80,000 Warwick taxpayers need a voice and having13,278 supporters is a great start!

Merry Christmas everyone. See you soon.
