Honest, taxpaying readers will not be fooled by the two-time election reject.

"The tax rate is only one of the three items that determine the bottom line..."

This is a lie, and an attempt to fool readers. Any property's taxes can be easily determined by multiplying the assessed value by the tax rate and dividing by 1,000. Cranston and Warwick tax properties at 100% of assessed value. There is no mystery about this.

"Compare this OR ANY restaurant in Cranston to a similar one in Warwick and the Warwick one has MUCH more taxes... I recently compared the HoneyDew Donut Shop on Reservoir Ave in Cranston to the now closing "Square Donut Shop" on Airport Rd."

As proven in a prior comment, those two properties are not "similar," because the one in Cranston is assessed at less than half of the value of the one in Warwick:

"The location in Cranston is better, larger and has a higher traffic rating..."

These are not factors in determining how a property is taxed. The two-time election reject is introducing useless information that does nothing to prove whatever point he is trying to make.

"You should do an honest comparison. I have."

This is a lie. An "honest comparison" would be between two properties with the same assessment. When that is done, the taxes in Warwick, due to its lower tax rate, are less than in Cranston.

I join my honest, taxpaying neighbors in celebrating the winter holidays, happy in the knowledge that it is so easy to disprove the two-time election reject and show why we were 100% justified in rejecting his candidacy twice.
