Has Becker decided to step down if he is selected for the position?  According to the Ohio Attorney General he would legally be able to hold both positions.

MiddletownUSA Blog Forum -- Reader Opinion Poll
 
Should it turn out that Bill Becker is chosen to be the next Executive Director of the Butler County Emergency Management Agency, which Middletonian is lobbying especially hard behind the scenes to take his place on the City Council?
 
1.  Would this political aspirant be male or female?
2.  Would this political aspirant previously have served on the City Council in recent years?
3.  Would this self-proclaimed non-assuming personality, short of praying to the Tooth Fairy/Santa Claus/Easter Bunny/Etc., be doing everything to gain favor of the current power brokers?
 
Your predictions will be appreciated.  The identity of this Wanna Be might turn out to be better known than most of us think.

Citizens Beware!
 
Prepare yourselves for the new Judy (Paul) Winchell and Larry (Jerry) Mahoney ventriloquist show.  Also presented for your political entertainment are the Four Deaf Mute Dwarfs.

Hmmm…does anyone remember the “Moving Middletown Forward Committee”???

One of the items on their flyer was:

“Other goals

*Consider ballot issue which would change the makeup of City Council, For example: Four wards and mayor, eliminating at large seats, would make a more manageable and responsive council.”

Hmmm…Four AT-LARGE and a mayor would be even MORE “manageable”!!! They could all live in the very same neighborhood and meet several times a week for tea and crumpets, or Champaign and caviar!!!

So, the "4 at-large" goes to council; council says: "We gotta look out for the folks!  Eliminate the at-large and keep the 4 ward seats!"; incumbents campaign on how they "saved the wards!" Great "mis-direction" play!  Zun Tsu would be proud!!!
