Wow, Scal and WwkVoter, the make-believe mayor just continues to compound his previous lies by repeating them:

- "Remember how I campaigned for 700+ days in a row and spent over $40,000 of my own money to rally those 80,000 taxpayers to demand that the City Council 'Cut Taxes - Cut Spending'?"

No, like the two of you, I remember the make-believe mayor spending most of his time on the Beacon website lying to voters, holding what he called an "epic" fundraiser that cost almost as much as he collected in campaign donations, waving at passing cars from sidewalks, polluting neighborhoods with cheaply made signs, and ultimately getting defeated 65-35%.

I also remember very few speakers actually attending the FY18 budget hearings.

- "Remember how... 29 tax-increasing amendments from Avedisian's 2017 budget were UNANIMOUSLY denied by the City Council?"

No, like the two of you, I remember how the city council approved 29 amendments to Mayor Avedisian's budget that reduced it by $750,000, then went on to pass an FY18 budget that increased spending by $6.5 million, which mean he's lying about that.

And as we all know, he's been repeatedly claiming that his influence on the council let to tax and spending cuts, except the FY 18 budget increased both -- which means he's lying about that.

So, despite his repeated attempts to fool honest, taxpaying voters, the amendments to the FY18 budget were not proposed by Mayor Avedisian and the council's FY18 budget decisions increased both taxes and spending.

- "If it were me, I would have started the communication process last October. That's when we all knew that Avedisian was leaving."

Maybe you recall the make-believe mayor saying that "political insiders" were predicting Solomon would run for mayor -- when, in fact, it had already been published in the Beacon. Maybe these same imaginary "political insiders" knew as early as last October that Avedisian would be leaving the mayor's office and told the make-believe mayor. If they did, though, isn't it odd that he didn't say anything at the time, especially considering the nearly four-year political campaign that he's been running against the former mayor?

- "This is Joe Solomons' responsibility [correct spelling is "Solomon's," showing that he can't even use punctuation properly]."

No, the responsibility falls on all 9 members of the city council and the make-believe mayor, who -- despite Scal's correct evaluation -- insists on saying he was responsible for the council's FY18 budget. He and his fellow Democratic party members certainly deserve the blame for the FY19 budget.

And just one last note, WwkVoter: The 25 people were reported at the make-believe mayor's kickoff to the 2016 campaign. Last December when he announced his 2018 run, he had 15 people attend.
