First, regardless as to what Carroulo (AKA CrickeeRaven) will accuse me of, I do NOT hold Mayor Solomon accountable for these and other businesses leaving Warwick. However, he DOES have the ability to attract more to Warwick and could help prevent other businesses from leaving. Legal Seafoods left their long-time Post Road location and relocated to Cranston into a brand new building in Garden City. I spoke to a man who stated "It was a no brainer. Better location; better, newer building; lower overhead." If taxes were less on Post Road, commercial rents would also be less and the number of businesses would increase. Jobs would increase. Total tax revenue would also increase. Basic economics. I have long-proposed "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending". Total tax revenue would increase if Warwick did. Drive through Garden City. That is a perfect example of how lowering taxes created an increase to total tax revenue. Mayor Solomon understands this much better, in my opinion, than his predecessor. It is my hope that he succeeds where Avedisian failed miserably. If he does the result will be less taxes for the rest of us.

Merry Christmas everyone.
