The disgraceful, lying, failed candidate persists in falsely claiming that Warwick lost more than 4,000 businesses.

For readers who may not be familiar with this particular lie by the fake "mayor," it goes like this: The fake "mayor" gathered two pieces of data, one from the U.S. Census and one from the Rhode Island Secretary of State, then subtracted the state number from the federal number and presented the result as support for his claim.

The problem with this comparison, as the following article explains in great detail, is that the U.S. Census and R.I. Secretary of State use different criteria for what counts as a business, meaning that the comparison is incorrect and dishonest: http://warwickpost.com/numbers-game-corrente-claims-of-lost-businesses-dont-add-up/

In fact, the linked article shows that, no matter the source for business data -- the federal government, the state, or the city -- correct comparisons of the data show no results that support his fraudulent claim. None.

This link has been provided multiple times to the fake "mayor," nearly every time he has repeated his false claim on this website, and yet he continues to post it.

Nothing proves his intentional dishonesty and arrogance more than this particular lie, one that he repeats despite the fact that it was disproven with facts more than a year ago.

It is truly pathetic that the fake "mayor" continues to base his delusional belief in his candidacy on such a blatant lie, and it is a certainty that he will maintain his unblemished record of humiliating himself in his future comments.
