Allan Fung is an intelligent man.
He became Mayor and lowered taxes. As a result, more people moved into his city of Cranston. Total tax revenue increased due to this increase in the number of people paying taxes which reduced the tax requirement on each taxpayer. The city's underfunded pension system went from 15% funded to 24%, still in bad shape but considerably better thanks to his administration.
Fung proved that if you "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending" you increase the number of taxpayers which will also increase the total tax revenue. At the same time Mayor Avedisian raised taxes (17 years in a row!) and 5,800 taxpayers left in the last ten years alone. (according to the U.S. Census).
Mayor Fung is a smart man. Warwick can learn a lot from his good example.
Happy Spring everyone.
