Readers, I'm not sure I would be taking financial advice from Rick Corrente. His noted tax delinquency on his property and car taxes over the last 10 years is a record of embarrassment and missed payments. The sickening part is that Rick Corrente still lies about these things, when the information is public knowledge. The lying has become pathological as this erratic, failure of a candidate gets even more desperate than he's been. Then again, I guess thats what happens when you take up 4 years, waste $40,000 and get clobbered in the election. Tone deaf isn't the word for that level of ignorance. It shows how desperate the unraveling Corrente campaign has become.

Rick Corrente wants to cut rebate checks to new homebuyers. He says "new homebuyers= new taxes". When a home is for sale the property taxes are still being paid on that home. There is no loss of taxes to the city. Rick Corrente is actually advocating writing a check to new homebuyers when those taxes are being collected whether they buy the home or not. All this program is, is a hole in the budget for no apparent reason. How does a "mortgage guy" not know how property taxes work? Probably because he doesn't pay them.

Rick advocates a voluntary pension buyout. If an employee makes $40,000 a year in retirement, and they retire at 60 years old. How much $ do you think it would cost to convince that person to opt out of their pension? They are already receiving $40,000 a year (not including medical closer to $30,000 a year), it would cost a fortune to convince that employee to opt out of that pension. That is just 1 employee. Start doing the math across the entire city and the money isn't there. Another Corrente idea that when looked at closely FAILS.

No reader should be lectured on how to look up flood insurance by a candidate who struggles to pay his taxes on time and lies to voters about it. Rick makes excuses about suing his lender, without ever offering a shred of proof. Rick you blame your lender for your failure on property taxes. Who's fault is it for your consistent decade long car tax delinquency? I notice a pattern with Rick Corrente and that is its always someone else's fault. It's his lenders fault he couldn't pay his property taxes for years not his own failure as a man, it's the "PAC moneys" fault he got crushed in the 2016 General Election (even though he still claims moral victory, so which is it?) He's already blaming the "political insiders" aka PEOPLE HE'S SOUGHT ENDORSEMENTS FROM SINCE 2016 if he loses in the Democratic Primary, not the fact he is a dishonest, flawed, tax delinquent squatter that voters have consistently rejected (after 4 years and $40,000). I'm assuming Rick Corrente will blame somebody else for his decade of car tax delinquency because thats the type of character and integrity he has. ZERO. Voters deserve a candidate who understands the struggles of paying their taxes while also paying their water and sewer bills, those are 2 things Rick Corrente knows nothing about. I know what group he should be blaming in this year's primary...voters. They will once again say no thank you to this wind bag, fraud.
