Crickee, if you get a chance read Captains comments on the article directly below this one. It appears there is yet ANOTHER CORRENTE FORECLOSURE. This man will literally lie, say and do anything to get elected. Rick Corrente is a fraud. I'd also note I agree with you Crickee that Correntes 2 supporters were probably real, and just grew tired of his empty rhetoric.

It once again points to a lack of judgement and a lack of financial awareness that Corrente thought his past foreclosures would never become a campaign issue. This is the same kind of thinking Rick used when crafting the "Corrente plan". Corrente took a bunch of political talking points (cut taxes, cut spending, pension buyouts, rebate checks) and threw it all on a website, with the hopes nobody would actually look into it. Well he was wrong again. After 4 years of running, after spending $40,000 why hasn't Rick Corrente been able to answer how he'll pay for these things? "New taxpayers" is NOT an answer. You would need thousands and thousands of new taxpayers to offset all of the new spending Rick Corrente wants to create.

Examples such as: "buy a house, get a check", business rebate checks, voluntary pension buyouts, paying 50% of seniors/veterans car taxes, freezing building permit fees (less revenue going into the government), a hiring freeze which he wants to include our Police and Fire in (which shifts costs toward increasing overtime). You know what all of the things I've listed have in common? If you guessed they are all bad ideas, you are correct but that's not all...every single thing listed also INCREASES SPENDING. Its not a hard concept to grasp although Rick has struggled with it for almost 4 years. Without listing where the money comes from Rick Corrente would have to: raise taxes, increase spending, or borrow the money. Any other spin that comes out of those flapping gums IS A LIE! I look forward to "The Tax Delinquent Mayor's" response.
