As the President of TCC, I articulate policy and communications for TCC. I attempt to do so in an honest and straightforward manner. Readers of local media see frequent orchestrated attacks on TCC and this letter will attempt to set the record straight. This note provides links to public statements, video, and letters describing our positions. Please take a moment to view them, and decide for yourself.
Tiverton Citizens for Change is not anti-services or anti-school. In fact we have stated in multiple public forums, in writing and in speech, that we oppose cutting any town services and believe that all of our goals can be achieved with contract reform. Those asserting that TCC is anti-this-and-that is being flat-out dishonest. We ask that voters take note of this as they consider their choices in 2010.
See Brian Medeiros, Christopher Cotta and Michael Burk’s anti TCC rants.
Our position is that citizens are angry at government that will not control spending, while allowing students and residents to suffer with less. TCC supports the preservation of current student programming, holding the line on taxes and reduction of labor costs through contract reform as we have seen with Police, Fire and Municipal unions. Any 2010 spending increases must be kept well below the Tax Cap.
TCC will issue a public statement describing our support for a specific percent increase before the FTM which takes place May 8.

Brian Medeiros repeatedly says that he supports staying under the cap. If he means it, then his attacks against TCC make no sense. Maybe Brian Medeiros is anti-education and anti-government since he would come in under the cap too?
