"Dear CrickeeRaven, (AKA Mark Carruolo)..."

I invite the two-time election reject to call the person he thinks is using this screen name. The burden is on him to prove it, instead of engaging in cowardly online name-calling of someone else.

"My numbers for the election results came from Channel 12."

Those are not official numbers, nor were they the updated and confirmed numbers as posted on the Rhode Island Board of Elections website. The error was his in using those numbers, not Channel 12's in reporting them on Tuesday night.

Scal and Danny, you both rightly point out the glaring defects in the two-time election reject's statements.

As Scal said, the two-time election reject opposed the bonds, and as Danny correctly notes, he made misguided statements about "not giving another dime" to the school department -- and yet never acknowledged that this would apparently include breaking the teachers' contract by not paying for it.

[Danny, I respectfully need to correct one statement of yours: None of the bond funding will pay salary and benefits. By law and under the direction of the RI Department of Education, and city and state officials, it must be spent on capital improvements only.]

So, yet again, we see the underlying contradictions and delusion of his comments: He wants the teachers to be paid, but doesn't want to adequately fund the school department; he doesn't support the bonds, but doesn't want to increase the operating budget for it; he calls sick-outs, work-to-rule, pickets, and walking out of contract negotiations by the WTU "horrible treatment" toward the teachers; and he claims that the new school committee members will "work for students" even though they supported the school bonds that he opposed.

As we already know, the two-time election reject will continue to make such statements in the pathetic and incorrect belief that they affect anything in the city.

I thank you for joining me and the thousands of honest, taxpaying voters who so easily saw through his lies in rejecting his candidacy twice.
