Be careful here. You cannot rob from the rich, who have been paying high taxes for decades. Just because the lesser valued homes jumped in value. I believe Providence tried to 'give to the poor' and was shot down. It isn't legal to treat homeowners as charities, pitting the rich against the middle class.

Perhaps Warwick can learn to cut expenses instead of increasing taxes. One thing the city could do is to require retired police and fire who go to work elsewhere (the majority) to take the next employers healthcare. This would go a long way to save money on benefits. If the new employer's plan was worse than the city plan, the city could make up the difference.
