No matter how desperately he tries to ignore or change the facts, the make-believe mayor will not succeed in fooling honest, taxpaying voters who know how to read and understand data.
Here is the link in question, to the U.S. Census "quick facts" page on Warwick: https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/warwickcityrhodeisland/PST045216
The 2017 population is reported as 80,871, which, as the article correctly and factually states is a reduction of 1,801 from the 2010 number of 82,670.
"I have quoted the U.S. Census, verified by The Warwick Beacon, that 5,800 people left Warwick in the last ten years alone."
That number was never verified by the Warwick Beacon; it was reported as a claim by the make-believe mayor but never independently confirmed by the newspaper -- and, as the article above proves, the number of 5,800 is objectively false.
"Cranston cut taxes..."
False. Once again, here are the changes in the tax rate since Allan Fung was elected mayor, showing that taxes went up -- not down:
FY2010: $19.11 http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2009.pdf
FY2011: $19.56 http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2010.pdf
FY2012: $20.26 http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2011.pdf
FY2013: $22.84 http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2012.pdf
FY2014: $22.84 http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2013.pdf
FY2015: $22.84 http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2014-Tax-Rates-12-31-13-FINAL.pdf
FY2016: $22.45 [due to revaluation] http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2015-Tax-Rates-12-31-14-FINAL.pdf
FY2017: $22.45 hhttp://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2016-Tax-Rates-12-31-15-FINAL.pdf
FY2018: $22.94 http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/documents/data/taxrates/2017-Tax-Rates-12-31-16-FINAL.pdf
Warwick voters are far more intelligent than the make-believe mayor thinks they are -- and they will prove it by rejecting his candidacy again.
