Dear Scal1024,

If we offer REBATE CHECKS to anyone who moves into Warwick and buys a home OR starts a business we create demand for Warwick. That makes sense, doesn't it Scal? New renovations a new homebuyer adds to their new real estate will also add to Total Tax Revenue (TTR). Demand will also result in new houses and condominiums being built as well. New businesses add (a lot) to tangible taxes and attracts new taxpayers to Warwick. Demand will also help resell some of our many abandoned properties, adding the new, improved home to our tax rolls. If Warwick increases its population as a result, our schools will have more students. More purchases will be made from our existing merchants. More services will be contracted for and our economy in general will benefit. We need to promote Warwick to the rest of Rhode Island in order to repopulate our number of taxpayers. Warwick recently dropped from the number two most populated city, to number three. We are headed in the wrong direction. REBATE CHEKS will help reverse that.

The other plan I have Scal1024, that is in that same category, is A TWO YEAR MORITORIUM ON BUILDING PERMIT FEES. I proposed this about three years ago when Warwick was sued by the R.I. Builders Assoc. for $50,000 for overcharging on building permits and Mayor Avedisian decided to reduce building permit fees "by one percent to stimulate construction". Obviously a 1% "sale" on building permits didn't stimulate anything. I propose that we eliminate building permit fees for 2 years to encourage homeowners to build that addition or garage they always wanted. The fee elimination could be restricted to just renovations that increase property values. (and real estate taxes) The additional value would bring back many times the money Warwick lost and the new tax revenue would be forever! Wouldn't that be a win-win Scal?

Both of these ideas are found in "The Corrente Plan" at "correnteformayor.com". I haven't seen or heard of any other candidate having any plan at all, but Scal, if you want further clarification on this or any other part of my plan, please don't hesitate to ask. Just please don't lie about me. It's hard to read you lie about me calling me a "lying, tax delinquent coward" when you won't even tell the readers your real name.

Fake news. Fake sources. Fake people. Fake names.

Happy Summer Scal1024,

Happy Summer everyone.
