Dear Mary Preziosi,

The head of the Democratic Party in Warwick is a gentleman named Rob Farrell. I believe he is the person you were referring to in the above article. When I decided to run for Mayor of Warwick in December 2014, I called him. I had never met him and admittedly I knew as much about him as he knew about me. Pretty much, nothing. But from that first phone conversation I got a sense of leadership about him. Instead of brushing me off saying "Call me after you are a declared candidate." He said, "Well then I think we should meet right away." And we did. From that day on we have spoken many times and have established a warm friendship. I campaigned every day (700 days in a row ) and when the time to endorse came around I got the unanimous vote of approval and became the endorsed Democratic Candidate for Mayor in the 2016 election. But now we have a different election and Rob is also a friend of fellow Democrat Joe Solomon who is the endorsed candidate because he's been around a LOT longer than me. Joe also has many political ties to what I have referred to as "the political insiders". He has also voted for almost every single tax increase since the early 2,000's.

The big difference between Joe and me is I campaigned for 700 days in a row and spent over $40,000 of my own money, rallied the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab and got 29 taxes CUT from the 2017 budget. Joe, on the other hand, just gave Warwick the biggest tax INCREASE allowed by law! This Democratic Primary Election September 12th, will definitely be the "Joe and the political insiders" against "me and The 80,000 Taxpayers That Are Paying The Tab". If you support "More Taxes - More Spending". Joe is your candidate. If you support "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending" then I am your candidate. The Corrente Plan shows the blueprint to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending" on my website "www.correnteformayor.com".

Mary, can you think of one piece of legislation in Warwick that's worth the money the taxpayers spend? Neither can I. If you want to speak to me my phone number is 401-338-9900.

Happy Summer Mary.

Happy Summer everyone.
