Rick, you aren't that dumb, ARE YOU? You completely ignore the example I gave which provided an example with it of 1 employee making $50,000 a year. What about the $75,000 a year employee or even $100,000? The Corrente plan is short sighted garbage worth less than the website its printed on. It shows Rick Corrente studied pensions in the 1970's, because his pension buyout plan is dated. A $50,000 a year employee will receive $500,000 over 10 years by doing nothing. A lump sum payment to that retiree will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is just 1 employee. If Rick Corrente studied pension buyouts so much in the 1970's why is he so dumb on this topic?

Next false part of the Corrente plan, the "buy a house get a check" idea that Rick Corrente says adds taxes/taxpayers. When a home is for sale, the owner is still paying property taxes on that home. The city does NOT lose the property taxes being paid just because a home is vacant. How would this plan add taxes or taxpayers to the city when property taxes are already being collected on properties for sale? Doesn't this effectively mean Rick Corrente is proposing writing a check to new homebuyers for taxes already being collected? Again Rick, you aren't that DUMB, ARE YOU???? How are we cutting spending when we are writing checks for no reason?

Both of these moves will decrease revenue, and increase city spending. I haven't even mentioned the "cut taxes" portion of Rick Correntes dishonest, ill informed campaign. How will he cut taxes when he's cutting checks to homebuyers, freezing permit fees and writing $1million checks to retirees? The math doesn't work and as we've learned in 4 years math and taxes ARE NOT Rick Correntes specialty. Tax delinquency and pathologically lying are more in line with Correntes values and character. I would love to debate these issues but as we've seen Rick will now run and hide because he is a lying, coward who is so desperate for votes he will say, do, propose ANYTHING to try and get elected. Luckily for honest, hardworking, REAL TAXPAYERS we see right through this fraud.
