Phillip thats a nice post and it's good to have yet another commenting on Beacon topics. I like your analogy to scurrying when the light is turned on (is cockroach less an insult than feckless?) Rob is quite acerbic, thats his style and he obviously wont change (even if his delivery could be more effective if he did). As to the deadbeat candidate, I think it is obvious that not only is he totally ill-equipped to run even his own household finances let alone a city as large as warwick, but he wont address his myriad tax problems other than to lie about it again and again.

Solomon will almost certainly run the city "competently" but amenably to labor and everything will be smooth except the property taxes will constantly have to be hiked. I published the table on what that would (will) look like for the average taxpayer assuming full legal maximum tax levy increases over 15 years. Here it is again. I think the warwick taxpayers would trade being boiled like frogs (slowly) rather than any kind of labor strife that would result from any attempt to go after the unions for concessions to pay or benefits or retirement... there is NO WAY that some inexperienced ethically challenged gasbag can affect this. They will only make a mess.

Here's a table with approximately max tax increases starting with a 3500 tax bill this year:
