Kammy:

Like you, I would like to see an actual source for something -- anything -- that the make-believe mayor says, for once.

As we know, he previously made a claim about the changes in the Warwick business sector that was based on a completely erroneous comparison of federal and state data.

The make-believe mayor admitted to the Beacon that "he [was] comparing data from two different sources," and "didn’t have more current census or more historic secretary of state figures that would have given comparisons."

Here is the article from May 31, 2016 that includes this admission by the make-believe mayor: http://warwickonline.com/stories/corrente-gop-chair-differ-over-meaning-of-the-numbers,113096?#comments

He later stopped making that claim, after it was exposed as a lie.

[I am sure you remember this article that correctly reviewed business data and found the make-believe mayor's claims to be wrong: https://warwickpost.com/numbers-game-corrente-claims-of-lost-businesses-dont-add-up/ ]

And now, he is repeating a false claim about the city's population that similarly has no basis in objective fact, yet he claims that he has information from the U.S. Census. Given that he twisted and misused Census information for his prior false claim, it's clear that he believes he should be able to do that again with population data.

Instead of providing any source of fact, the make-believe mayor instead presents a false premise as true, and then demands that other people provide information to support it. This is the definition of the term "intellectually dishonest."

So, while I share your interest in seeing the proof behind the make-believe mayor's claim, I think we've seen enough of his past behavior to know that he has none.
