Notice the "Tax Delinquents Mayor" references a time where he answered my questions, yet cites no examples of when he actually did answer them. Nice try, Rick.

Also, I don't think your problem in the 2016 election was name recognition. You ran for 2 years, wasted over $40,000, littered the city with illegal campaign signs you couldn't even be bothered to pick up after losing, stood on the street corner like a dummy waving aimlessly at people who were actually on their way to work. Now let's look at the useless Corrente platform again to point out its flaws and deception.

"Buy a house, get a check"= Without pointing to which line item in the budget the money will be taken from, these are meaningless words. Not to mention property taxes are already collected on these homes. You are writing a check to homebuyers for taxes the city already collects.

Business rebate checks = Where does the money come from?

Promotion of Warwick- Warwick already does this. Are you suggesting increasing the existing budget? That isn't a reduction of spending.

Notice we are 3 ideas in to the "Corrente plan" and all we've done is found 3 new ways to spend money. Anyone can say the words "cut spending" Rick Corrente is clueless in terms of how to actually do it.

A hiring freeze is not the answer to saving the city money. The only thing a hiring freeze does is increase overtime. Why would we want to increase overtime for our Police and Firefighters ? How is that protecting public safety? Not only is Rick Corrente reckless with the budget, he's actually proposing decreasing the amount of active Police and Firefighters. That is a proposal I cannot support.

Rick Corrente can talk about the "Corrente plan". I would ask voters to question Rick Corrente about where the money comes from? How are we writing rebate checks to new homebuyers at a time the school department is $6 million in the red? How are we writing businesses checks while teachers are being laid off, senior centers are being closed? Ask Rick Corrente why he proposes raising beach fees on every driving resident instead of studying the issue and finding a more comprehensive plan? Ask him why he was late on his car taxes '09-'12? Ask him where his car was registered from '13-'15 while he was dodging his car taxes? Ask him why he needed somebody else to pay his nearly $13,000 in back taxes in '14-'15? Then ask why he was loaning his campaign $40,000 at a time where he had unpaid water/sewer bills and delinquent property taxes? He won't answer these questions because he feels he's above being accountable to voters. He feels like if he denies his deadbeat behavior long enough, he can convince others its not true. Voters will not be fooled. I cannot wait until September when the lying, erratic, "Tax Delinquents Mayor" is dismissed and shown the door again. Who will he blame them for his unraveling, underperforming, failure of a campaign?
