You can call it a "surplus". You can call it an "overcharge". The fact is Warwick has money left over after the 2017 budget hearings of Spring 2017. Mayor Avedisian asked for 29 tax-increasing amendments to the budget and was unanimously denied EVERY TIME! This is the best City Council I have ever witnessed in Warwick. Something is different than the last 17 years in a row. Something stopped Mayor Avedisian from raising 29 new taxes. Nothing stopped him in the past from increasing taxes EVERY YEAR FOR 17 YEARS IN A ROW!! I'd like to think it had something to do with my 700-days-in-a-row of campaigning. I'd like to think that spending over $40,000 of my own money got the "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending" message across to the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab and that those 80,000 taxpayers delivered my message loud and clear to their City Council members. Naturally, my critics will say I had nothing to do with it; that it was just a coincidence. I would disagree. And I use my real name, unlike those fake-name critics.
Happy Easter everyone.
