No response from Rick Corrente on his "buy a house get a check" plan. How does a candidate for mayor not understand how taxes work? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that he never pays his own property taxes. "Buy a house, get w check" is nothing more than a giveaway, with no economic benefit to the city of Warwick. At a time our city is cash strapped, Rick Corrente is looking to add spending programs with absolutley no idea how to pay for any of it. As always he conveniently picks and chooses what he responds to, whatever fits the false propaganda that he's spewed for almost 4 years. Its always about my anonymity, never my message. Also note the delusion that this sociopath still believes after 4 years of proving how clueless of a candidate he is, he still expects that I will vote for him. Imagine that kind of ego to assume he would EVER have my support after the way he's carried himself the last 4 years.

Now onto his thoughtless pension buyout plan, if Rick studied pensions he certainly doesn't have a clue how to fix them. Rick says if a retiree doesn't take the settlement no harm, no foul. Doing nothing is not an option, but spending money on a voluntary pension buyout that doesn't work is much worse than doing nothing. There is no amount that will work for the retiree, or the city. How will a person benefit by taking less money up front? I used the $50,000 example because in 10 years if that retiree does nothing, they'll have $500,000. How does a lump sum compete with that? Then you say that's up to the actuary. But I thought you studied pensions? Why can't you cite an example of how it will benefit the retiree? If the lump sum is well under $500,000 it's no doubt a loss to the person who worked their entire lives for it, especially when it 10 years they will have earned that $500,000. Whats the harm? Its more years of ignoring the problem, throwing more money in search of a solution. That is not smart government. I wouldn't expect smart government from Rick Corrente, a candidate who was late on his car taxes from '09-'12 and had to hide his car from the tax rolls '13-'15. This is why he cannot answer for which city/town his car was registered in.

The Corrente plan is nothing but empty words and rhetoric, from an empty suit. Voters deserve better than being lied to on a regular basis by an uninformed buffoon like Rick Corrente. The worst part of his candidacy is this idea that he's an expert in many fields when the reality is he is a "mortgage guy" that lost his home to foreclosure and fails to pay car and property taxes. Thats like having a Fire Chief burn his home down having a campfire in the living room. You have to question the judgement of a "mortgage guy" unable to pay his mortgage. It is embarassing which is the real reason Rick Corrente hides from his shameful record. He can attack me all he wants. That won't pay his property taxes on time. It won't pay his car taxes on time. It won't change his shady behavior surrounding operating a campaign office rent free from a man who paid his delinquent property taxes to the tune of over $13,000. Rick Corrente is hoping voters don't research his consistent record of financial trainwrecks. He's hoping you don't log onto the city tax assesors website and view his delinquency. Facts are facts and they arw stubborn things. Facts point to Rick Corrente being nothing more than an uninformed fraud.
