Dear Cat2222,

There is a bill in front of Congress right now that would make it mandatory for ALL voters to vote. It is gaining bi-partisan strength. I wonder what would have happened if every voter in Warwick was required to vote in EITHER of my Mayoral elections. Based on the number of people that have approached me since the Democratic Primary, it would have been wonderful to watch. Even you have to admit that Joe Solomon had a huge advantage when he slapped the taxpayers with the largest tax increase allowed by law to buy votes from the political insiders. I'm guessing that gave Joe about 5,000 votes. Comparing my 1,800+ to the wildly popular Mike McCaffrey who did NOT have that same advantage, and the results are MUCH closer. Mike got about 2,400 votes and wasn't in the same position to tax-and-buy-votes as Joe (or any sitting Mayor) was. PLUS I refused all Political Action Committee checks (Solomon took tens of thousands) PLUS, I had a very popular Jed Carbone who split the "outsider" vote with me. PLUS it poured on election day. Voters didn't come out unless their jobs depended on it. Based on all that I did pretty good although I don't expect you or the other unidentified critics to admit it. I had what it took to put my name in the race. You don't even HAVE a name. Have you ever campaigned? Have you ever done 1% as much as I have? Has CrickeeRaven? Has Scal1024? Nope!

Cat2222, there is another election in two years and the public loves me. Everywhere I go people approach me repeating my "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending" message. Cat2222, can you think of ONE piece of Federal, State, or Warwick Legislation that is worth the money the taxpayers pay? I can't.

I'm not the only one that calls me "The Taxpayers Mayor".

No offense but, I'm not "starting to unravel" Cat2222. I'm just getting started and 2020 is just a few weeks away!

By the way...That person with the fake name "CrickeeRaven deserved the "Bite me." remark. The "shut up" remark was uncalled for and I have apologized for it. I didn't deserve to have her block my way as I was leaving. I didn't deserve the lengthy, verbal attack she gave me. I didn't deserve the abrasive non-stop questions that she demanded I answer without giving me one second to do so. I didn't deserve to not even know who she was when it was happening but that still doesn't excuse my comment. It was wrong on my part.

However, it doesn't cover-up or excuse the fact that her husband was a no-show. She tried to explain that Nathan Cornell wasn't a better candidate "just because he attends all the School Committee and City Council meetings". She's wrong. IT DOES!

Keep in touch Cat2222. Your comments are worth reading.

Happy Thanksgiving Cat2222.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. PLEASE VOTE!
