Richard Corrente, who is running for the Office of Mayor, made certain statements in the comment section of this article. Since he is running for public office, I believe strongly he needs to provide specific and factual documentation/verification of his statements.

1. $160 million unaccounted for and not audited– Provide proof that they have not been accountable for the money. Dollar amounts that are not found in the public records of the budget that you believe were spent on something it wasn’t allotted for. Who is responsible for the spending of tax dollars on things not outlined in the budget. School Committee lying – Specific dates, names and what they lied about.

2. What City Council member did you speak to? We want to hear their side of the conversation and have them verify they used the actual word “Nothing” when you asked what is stopping them from spending the money as they want.

3. What lie was told about teachers receiving their back pay? Are they not receiving their back pay? What part of the budget will that be addressed in and how will it be accounted and monitored?

You have been called out on your statements many times. Today, you need to back up your statements. If you don’t, how do you expect people to respect your campaign and believe in what you say?
