Middiemom, you seem well informed and intelligent. Why don't you run for office?

spiderjohn, you should run for council. Lots of support for you in town.

While some might argue otherwise, I believe having some of Larry's position on Council as either Mayor or at-large member, is beneficial.
He is First Finanical's President for the Butler/Warren region--which is the bank's historical footprint. Contacts, connections and the ability forge deals and partnerships has to add some value to Middletown.

spiderjohn, VM made me think of one of my favorite songs by The Weight, Take a Load Off Fanny.
Maybe Steve Bohannon can take a loaf off us on worries.

If our mayor has such an illustrious reputation in his current position with the bank then why has he not shown ANY fiduciary responsibility to our city? JMO

Come on spiderjohn, what am I supposed to do, set my hair on fire every time there is a problem in the city?  Steve Bohannon has broad and widespread appeal, not because he is a section 8 landlord, but because he is a model resident and landlord, whom takes care of his property and does complete background checks. Few in the city have condemned section 8 entirely, but the high percent of vouchers in Middletown as a measurement of the county. So a model citizen and landlord who takes good care of his property should be cast negatively because he receives a check from the federal government. Lets disqualify attorneys that represent criminals from holding office. Lets extend it to teachers and administrators because the district receives federal and state funds for numbers of students attending school. Didn't someone suggest a former district school superintendent request the increase in vouchers? Maybe we can combine the heroin addicts with section 8 recipients and fill the potholes as VietVet suggested. Just write an ordinance, if you don't make 225,000 or above in annual income, you can't live in the city. Problem solved.

come on, mom----no one here or anywhere is better than anyone else
we are all in this together and we all want the same happy ending mistakes have been made and will continue to be made we just want different people trying different things with hopefully a better result so many ridicule those posting here, yet MAYBE it comes from a fear that many things said here are correct--the most vicious statements that I have read here have been attacks on those who post here? who are the good guys--who are the bad guys? are there really any good guys or bad guys? just everyday people wanting good things but we need to change faces |

Mr. Presta, and spider, I in no way want to diminish what you both have done for this community. Mike, you are the only one on here who put his money where his mouth was and made a run for council. Spider, your commitment to this city for years is a testament to you and your family's belief in this community. Thank you both.

Over the hill you have to be kidding me. I have never heard a more asinine statement in all of my life. A lot of you people are hypocrites. A lot of you lament about the section 8 program and the detriments it brings to the city. but now because one of the landlords you all have lambasted posts a reply you all fall in line. Please tell me how in the real world this makes sense. Please tell me how a man with multiple, or should i say as he did, "a few" section 8 properties is a good thing. Please enlighten me. You all rightly lash out at past administrations because of inept leadership and increasing the section 8 population. But you now fall in line with another section 8 landlord. Have you not learned your lesson? When he gets power who will he beholden to? You, me? I know a few of you on this thread and you're smarter than this. Factguy, again, you are right. This site has rendered itself useless.

Middiemom, I could not agree more with what you say. Section 8 and poverty has been our cities downfall. The leaders that we have elected over the years have failed us. Mr Bohannon and the others state that section 8 is not a problem, its a business. Well that business has failed the city. It has cause a drug problem in our city, crime, caused our schools to have all students to be on free and reduced lunch. Who would want to move here? My wife is an educator in this school system and deals with this on a daily basis. As I understand stand it maybe I'm wrong, section 8 landlords also receive a maintenance allowance each month from the government. It is money meant to improve the condition of the properties. In most cases that does not happen. I am old enough to remember the glory days of Middletown. We will never return to that. Murphy's on the corner, the Parrott, Weber's, Gillen Crowe, and Elites. Times have changed and new things can happen with the right leadership. We do not attract new and high paying jobs because with have the stigma of crime, poverty and drugs. This must change in order to be attractive to new businesses. I don't have all the answers but I am willing to listen to the citizens and be their mouthpiece on council. Here is an example of how downtown does not look to the future. Right before Menards built there store in Fairfield Township, they wanted to build here in Middletown. The powers to be downtown refused to allow it because they said they would fail and did not want another empty building. The last I looked Menards was prospering and hurting Lowe's and Home Depot. I am seriously considering a run for council and will need all the support I can get. I know one person on this blog that will support me. I am going to think about this over the weekend and make my decision. You folks will know on Monday if I pull and application and my identity. I just want to serve the common man. I'm not influenced by those with money. I want what's best for our town.

Mr. Bohannon will garner at least 3300 votes, maybe 3500, and wins easily. I believe he will be the highest vote getter in council history. He also owns a major roofing company successfully supporting southwest Ohio for many years. He is known for that utility more so than landlord.
Correct me if I may be wrong, but Larry Mulligan knows how to run a business, as he is President of a region for a multi- billion dollar company. Joe Mulligan is a partner at a law firm, a small business that he runs. Dan Picard is a partner and owner of a law firm in Monroe, and therefore knows how to run the business he runs, and also was in the family paper business. Anita Scott Jones knows how to run a business, as she is a leader in higher education, a Director and above, with a significant budget. The final current council member was a purchasing agent at a major defense contractor with budget responsibilities. |
