Dear Thecaptain (AKA Rob Cote)

Finally, you offer ideas instead of just bashing mine. Thank you.

Here are my answers to your comments.

1. New rescue vehicles have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with sick pay, but I am glad to hear you support the idea of having more of them. You and I agree that they will increase revenue for whatever the end result.

2. If we make "large" money with each new taxpayer added to the roles, only a fool would be unable to find the "small" money to fund it, but you already knew that, didn't you Rob.

3. The projected "loss of revenue" would be the up-front revenue lost from the permit fee. (usually between $1,000 and $1,500). You're a smart guy. I'm sure you will agree that the continuous revenue from the added ANNUAL taxes that will be received FOREVER, will make this a great investment, repaying that small up-front loss over and over, year after year. This one is a win-win for the homeowner AND the City. Right again Rob. Aren't I.

4. Thanks for agreeing with me on this one. Maybe there's hope for you yet. Maybe.

5. You and I BOTH asked that question. "How?" Vella-Wilkinson answered it. I guess she is a whole lot smarter than both of us. Her bill was nothing short of brilliant, and Rob, the Airport Agreement "ain't done" as far as I am concerned. You can quit on it if you want but I will keep trying until they become a better neighbor. Camille's bill is a great "next step". Convincing them to complete the sound-reducing improvements they started but didn't finish is another . So Captain Rob; one more time for emphasis,

WAY-TO-GO-CAMILLE-VELLA-WILKINSON!

6. How can you possibly say that. They don't even have a contract!! But I completely agree with your statement of "Cut the administration costs. Get rid of the dead wood." That refers to the School Committee Rob, not the teachers. Right?

7. Great! You agree with me! However, shouldn't we start with the biggest budget? Like the $160,000,000 School Committee budget?

8.Why no comment? Just research Central Falls. You can do that. After all, you graduated from Hendricken. You know. The school with my name in the middle of it.

9. You're right. "This does nothing to SOLVE" today's problems, but have you ever heard of the phrase "take care of tomorrow and today will take care of itself"? No? OK. My plan takes a bad situation and FIRST, it keeps it from becoming WORSE. Then as attrition occurs, the problem will improve itself but I agree, it won't completely solve it. It will just protect the present employees and save money for the taxpayers. Not a bad start though Rob, don't you agree?

Two last thoughts:

1. I am not a "self-proclaimed fake mayor". I'm a self-proclaimed "The Taxpayers Mayor". and

2. Anytime you want to offer a tax-saving idea or a quality-of-life idea I'll listen. So will others. Until then, bashing

me for putting in the time and effort that you refuse to do is, well, unfair in the very least. You did have one good

idea about the car tax revolt. What happened to that? You seem to quit on it. I didn't. Neither did House Speaker

Nick Mattiello.

Happy Summer everyone.
