Dear davebarry109,

For my entire Mayoral campaign I have promoted "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending".

I campaigned for over 700 days in a row meeting with thousands of Warwick taxpayers and gained a ton of strength for my mission to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending". The result was that for the first time in 17 years, the Mayor was unable to push even one of his 29 tax increases through the City Council. Here is the step-by-step.

1. Avedisian raised taxes for 17 years in a row. Every year Warwick taxpayers had to pay more and no one stopped him.

2. Then, I came on the scene in January of 2016 and started a 700-days-in-a-row campaign..

3. Then, thousands of taxpayers joined the "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending" movement and told their City Council just how they felt.

4. Then, the City Council courageously said "No" to every tax increase the Mayor insisted on (all 29 of them!)

And the result? Read it above davebarry109. Warwick is evolving from a tax-and-spend city to a tax-responsible city. I'm proud that my efforts had something to do with that. You can say it was a lot or you can say it was a little. Whatever you say, I'm proud that I helped cut taxes in Warwick. And davebarry109, no, your taxes won't be going up next year either; not if I have anything to say about it.

Happy Valentines everyone.
