Is there any better indication that Warwick needs to "cut-taxes cut-spending" than this? The exodus continues. The article shows that more people are moving out of Warwick than ANY OTHER CITY OR TOWN IN RHODE ISLAND!!!

Patientman said it best when he remarked that he would take exception to Warwicks' tax base as being "stable". The article noted that if these properties were in Block Island or the Cape they would have sold for 8 or 9 MILLION! That comment alone speaks volumes. If the taxes were less, the sales prices would have been significantly more! If we get Warwicks' tax base under control, we improve Warwick! Plain and simple. We are TBAR'd, Taxed Beyond All Reason. Cut taxes... Cut spending... and property values will skyrocket and a lower tax percentage on a higher sales price will net a greater total amount of total taxes, a win-win for everybody! If only the present administration wasn't so blind-sighted.

Taxpayers deserve it but those in power know they are overpaid (a lot) and they don't want to give it up, and I don't blame them. In private industry they wouldn't get half!

The only solution is for the taxpayers to take the power back. There are two groups. People who are "payers" of tax dollars and people who are "receivers" of tax dollars. The next time you hear someone comment on "what is right for Warwick", ask yourself which group that person belongs to. 13,278 good people voted for me in the Mayoral race. I guarantee they were "payers". Warwick needs these "payers" to get their city back.

I will leave you with two thoughts:

1. There are a whole lot more "payers" than "receivers" in Warwick.

2. 2018 is around the corner.

Happy 2017 everyone.
