One of the goals of city administration is to reduce public safety spending from the general fund from 72 percent to 60 percent over a five-year period....Then add to the 72% the salaries of those at City Hall and you quickly will see why Middletown has no money to spend on the needs of the citizens.
As you can see the majority of your tax money never leaves City Hall. |

All of you Adkins supporters.....still think he is good for Middletown? How about the clowns on council and the key leaders in the city building? Just a continuation of the Gilleland nonsense isn't it?
Freeing up money by eliminating citizen aiding programs, for the purpose of placing more money into the black hole known as the General Fund. The money is then distributed to the city pet projects and the friends of city hall and used for non-announced internal raises. The money trail is concealed from the general public by "confused finances" and is untraceable by the average citizen. The city monies are moved from fund to fund to accomodate the city pet project needs. They have been for years. The basic needs like roads and infrastructure are not on the pet project list, hence the poor conditions. Overdue on gutting council and the city building occupants. Need to ask Adkins to leave. His time is up as we are destined to follow the same path as we did with Gilleland if he stays. Adkins, council and the key players like Kohler and Hamet are not good for this city. They either cause problems of don't perform. They are here because of the controlling voting block sponsored by Cohen, Mulligan and their little band of MMF town destroyers. Their plan has been in place for years and it will be difficult to dissolve their control, but if this town is to get off the critical list, the people responsible for the ghetto town known as Middletown all need to be ousted......and that will take the help of the people who are fed up with the way this town is run as well as the people who now don't care and decent candidates who actually care about the city, are not intimidated by MMF and have some logic about them. What is the answer to get those people to participate to overcome the numbers of the controlling voting block who always win? |

I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over.

The frustration and concern of good people like Viet Vet, Acclaro, Vivian Moon, Over The Hill, etc. speak volumes regarding the wasteful, indifferent current senior employees of One Donham Abbey and most of the local elected officials. It's doubtful that real change will ever take place in Middletown. There's very little difference between Judy G. and Atkins.

While I don't know if his plans will work or not, Adkins couldn't win with some on this board. If he didn't make plans to reduce public safety spending and allowed it to remain at or above 72% some would be bashing him for allowing the unions to rule the city. Vet's point about the black hole of the general fund may prove true with whatever savings are gained, but the status quo was not an option. In my mind Adkins will have failed if we don't see signficant infrastructure spending in the coming years. |

Middletown can not survive much longer with 72% of our general budget going to public safety, it is just that plain and simple. And Middletown can not continue to raid the sewer fund to repair the roads. |
