Dear Justanidiot,
Congratulations!
Your spelling is much improved!
As far as the trash collections...
We have long-term municipal employees. They do a decent job. They get a fair wage. It would cost us much more to replace them than to keep them. It would also show disloyalty to the other city employees. I am 100% against privatization of ANY city service. However, I do believe that any new-hire employees should not be offered as much in todays economy as they were in previous years. I believe that if we pay less for new employees and limit their number, Warwick would save a substantial amount of money. I believe that money should be shared with the existing municipal employees in the form of raises that are overdue and also the taxpayers, who that have seen their taxes increase every year, for seventeen years in a row. Only in 2017 did the Mayor fail to increase taxes (29 times!). My message of "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending" rallied the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab. I felt proud to know that campaigning 700 days in a row and spending $40,000 of my own money (as well as many generous contributions) worked! The taxpayers spoke loud and clear through their courageous City Council and 29 tax increases were unanimously voted down. 13,278 good people voted for me in 2016 and November is right around the corner!
As far as buying new trucks, I believe that repairing is the way to go. These mega-machines were built to last and replacing them costs a fortune.
Happy Spring Justanidiot.
Happy Spring everyone.

The Taxpayers Mayor
