Report Inappropriate Comments

Corrections to the prior comment by the fake "mayor," for readers who value context, accuracy, and honesty:

- "Whoever supplied that information to the Beacon was wrong to do so until it was a certainty." -- This, from the failed candidate who claimed to the Beacon that the current mayor targeted him for increases in property valuations while the mayor and "his relatives" received unfair reductions, which turned out to be factually untrue. In the course of reviewing his claim, it was actually learned that he had not paid taxes on the property he claimed as his residence.

Rather than instruct readers to search for the information, here are direct links:

- Accusation against the mayor: http://warwickonline.com/stories/running-on-a-platform-to-cut-taxes,115119

- Truth about the tax assessments for the current mayor and the losing candidate: http://warwickpost.com/correntes-attacks-fail-on-the-facts/

- "Remember how the School Committee decided to punish him by sending him A LETTER!!!" -- This was an administrative decision made by former compliance officer and director of human resources Rosemary Healey and former secondary education director Dennis Mullen, not the school committee. The school committee learned of their decision through the Ragosta investigation, as the final report explains.

Here is a direct quote from Vincent Ragosta: "I think your administration, central administration, should have been much more aggressive in terms of exiting this man from the school based on this evidence."

And here is a direct quote from then-Chairwoman Jennifer Ahearn: "They [Healey and Mullen] are adults and they are people in control at the time... They all fell down and that's the end."

- "Remember how the City Council had to go to court to get the results of the report?" -- Only for the city to deny their release until two local media outlets published them under threat of legal action that was later rescinded.

Again, instead of instructing readers to search, here is a direct link to an article on the Ragosta report:

- "Remember how I complained how poorly this was handled? Remember how I accused the School Committee of "enabling"?" -- Yes, many informed and careful readers remember the fake "mayor" attempting to capitalize on negative news in the city to benefit his campaign, which later failed by a 65-35% margin.

- "I wish I had spoken louder when the Ragosta Report came out. Maybe if I had, this might have been averted." -- Some of the incidents in this article go back more than two years, before the Ragosta report's release in March, 2016. Anything said after these incidents occurred would not have stopped them from happening.

- "I won't let it happen again." -- Anyone making this promise would have to be elected or in a position to influence the school department. The fake "mayor" is neither.

He will, no doubt, continue to embarrass himself in his future comments.
