Bullying tactics of Tiverton Taxpayers United -- typical behavior for its Tea Party-associated members.

This organization is most likely a rebirth (or afterbirth) of the Tiverton Citizens for Change, Tiverton Taxpayers Association, Tiverton Cares or the Tiverton Tea Party.

It is the same organization that  nominated and promoted a convicted felon for office without any vetting process, proposed a half-baked budget with no detail in 2012, values ideology and opinion over intellect and data, engaged in silly and costly lawsuits against the town, would rather see Tiverton schools in ruin than appropriately fund them, and prefers reckless development over thoughtful growth that preserves Tiverton's character.

It is also a group that bullies challengers by removing any questions or challenges to its posts. They have even gone so far as to post the same information repeatedly in hopes of avoiding any comments or dissent.

Beware this deceitful organization, and any policy or budget it promotes.
