Dear Scal,

Wrong again. I've answered all your questions...repeatedly. Using my REAL name. Using REAL facts. Giving names of Warwick City Tax Assessor clerks, as well as my insurance company, and the Registry of Motor Vehicles, that can prove my facts are honest and accurate.

You're right about one thing though. I don't consider myself a "politician". I am more of an anti-politician. I want to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending". I haven't seen ONE piece of Warwick legislation that is worth the money the taxpayers paid. Not one. Even my biggest critics state above that acting Mayor Solomon is part of the problem. They're right. He is. Check out HIS real estate on the Warwick Tax Assessors web site, Scal. I have! His car dealership at 1129 West Shore Rd. has a (I believe tampered with) tax assessed value that is LESS THAN HE PAID FOR IT 29 YEARS AGO! Scal, I don't think there is a taxpayer in Warwick that can say that! Not even you. By the way, Joe is selling 1129 West Shore Rd. without a Realtor for over THREE TIMES HIS ASSESSED VALUE! His assessed value is only $168,900. Zillow says it's worth about $450,000. Does that sound like a Mayor who should represent the 80,000 taxpayers who are paying the tab? Joe's tab? I don't think so. Neither does anyone else I have spoken to.

Joe doesn't live in ward 4 like he has "claimed" for years (so he can represent that ward). He actually lives at 21 Crawford in ward 5, where his tax assessed value went up a paltry $4,400 while his neighbor at 26 Crawford went up $61,100 during that same 2-year period. Did Joe rip off his second floor or is he ripping off the taxpayers Scal? You decide. He also owns 180 Shawomet which went DOWN in assessed value by $25,700, and 54 Hess which surprise, surprise ALSO went DOWN by a whopping $39,700 during that same two year period. He has others that also went DOWN in tax assessed value but I think I've proven my point.

Joe just slapped the taxpayers with the largest tax increase allowed by law. Except, of course, for Joe's own properties! As Mayor, I won't let that theft happen ever again. Hold me to it Scal, because I KNOW you WILL and I WANT you to!

As Mayor, I will ask that Vision Technologies (the cities appraisal company who is re-assessing the entire city starting in December) to send their findings (electronically) to The Warwick Beacon, NOT to the Mayor. Then, with the push of the "forward" button, The Beacon can copy them and transmit them to the City thereby creating, for the first time this century, "FAIR, UN-TAMPERED WITH APPRAISALS" for all residential and commercial properties with a system of checks and balances that won't cost the taxpayers a dime and it will stop the political insiders like Joe from getting a MASSIVE, MASSIVE discount at everyone else's expense. Don't be surprised to see Joe START to pay his fair share. Maybe you will have to pay more real estate taxes as well.

I also have been given a list of over a thousand people who owe "over a thousand dollars each" on their water bills. They will be sent a demand notice as well. When I received that list the total lost revenue to Warwick exceeded $4,000,000. (That's over 10% of Warwick's Total Tax revenue.) That was 2016. Today, it might be more. Those people HAVE to vote for Joe. They know I won't tolerate having the rest of us pay MORE so that Joe's political insiders can pay NOTHING! I matched his political contributors from the Board of Elections with that list Scal. There were A LOT of his contributors on it. I'm sure that if the readers knew who you really are, you would be one of them.

Read The Corrente Plan in this Tuesday's Warwick Beacon (9-11-18) and Scal, please come out and vote for me (or anyone else you prefer) on Wednesday, September 12. Warwick NEEDS everyone's vote so we can "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending".

Happy primary Scal, you anonymous coward of a critic.

Happy primary everyone.
