Apparently two straight election losses have taught the two-time failed candidate nothing -- including how to stop spreading falsehoods.

"The City is over a BILLION dollars in debt!"

This is a lie. The two-time loser adds himself to the small group of people, which includes the losing 2014 mayoral candidate, who seek to mislead Warwick voters with this claim.

What they are doing is adding all of the bonded debt held by the city and the sewer and water departments, along with the unfunded pension liabilities.

There are two obvious problems with this:

First, the sewer and water departments run their own budgets and raise revenue through user fees, not property taxes. The debt of these two departments is NOT directly owed or managed by the city.

Second, the unfunded pension liabilities are being paid on a year-to-year basis under the city's existing three payment programs. They are NOT immediately due, nor are they going unpaid.

"Open your eyes!"

Honest, taxpaying voters had their eyes open and clearly saw the multiple defects in the two-time loser's candidacy, resulting in a second humiliating loss on Sept. 12. His inability to restrain himself from making false statements is further proof that we were 100% correct to reject his candidacy.
