PacMan....I appreciate your response & honesty.
spiderjon....I haven't figure you out yet. But I know who you are, too.

Please check out 15 N Clinton and you will realize my testiness / reluctance / privacy / questions / supportive downtownness / bitchy attitude. Whatever you "guys" want to call it. It seems me and Vivian are the only female posters on here.

I know I have to redo the crooked graphics on the window.
Yes, the landlord knows. ]]> Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:15:06 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1377&PID=7806&title=wake-up-people#7806 Wake up people!! : This would be a grave error in... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1377&PID=7079&title=wake-up-people#7079 Author: Pacman

A realtor member of the now-defunct HUD Consolidated Planning Committee for Middletown researched this matter. Property taxes are delinquent dating back to 2002. How could past and present City staff approve ANYONE for housing rehab loans and grants if their property taxes are delinquent? Please tell us Queen of Middletown?

Would this have been caught in the most recent HUD audit IF- the audit wasn't treated as just a glossed over visit and been done in a thorough fashion? What would have happened if a real HUD auditor saw this info- specifically the part about the refinancing of private debt?]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:45:57 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1377&PID=7064&title=wake-up-people#7064 Wake up people!! : Information presented last summer... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1377&PID=7057&title=wake-up-people#7057 Author: Smokey Burgess

Information presented last summer by Skip Batten, Neighborhood Improvement Advisor for the City of Middletown to the now-defunct HUD Consolidated Planning Committee plus City Councilmen Schiavone, Armbruster and Marconi, indicated that over $70,000 in federal funds were spent on this project in 2004 or 2005. $46,000+ was attributable to rehab.

February 3, 2009

To Ed Richter -

In the most recent e-mail that was sent to you, it was noted where a property on 8th Street was not only rehabbed, but a significant amount of HUD funds were used to refinance private debt. This information was fully shared with the HUD Consolidated Planning Committee and City Councilmen Schiavone, Marconi and Armbruster by Skip Batten.

In addition to that situation, Skip mentioned that a minimum of five other previous housing rehab participants had private debt refinanced with HUD funds. Skip has the original files for all of this and he provided copies of some information to City Councilman Marconi.

All of the above happened prior to my arrival in Middletown.

MadisonMom my answers are the Blue, I don't think we are to far from being similar in our issues.

1) Find me one business in the East End that is willing to help promote "something" in their part of town.

Many of the East End Businesses sponsor downtown activities. I see no reason why there would not be support in their own BackYard.

2) I am a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, daughter-in-law, sister, friend, and business owner.

I am a husband, father, son, son-in-law, brother friend and a business owner.

3) To some of you that know who I am, it has been tough in the building that we are located, I appreciate your confidentiality.

To some of you that know who I am, it has been tough in Middletown where we are located, I appreciate your confidentiality.

4) Hubby and I discussed staying downtown, it's part of our identity. Our 2 major clients are located outside of the city, by the way.

Wifey and I discussed staying in Middletown, it's where we like to live.

5) Downtown is close to our home & our 2 teenagers still trying to make it thru high school, yes it is Madison. I did not graduate from Madison, hubby did in 1976.

East End is close to our home & our 1 teenager is still trying to make it thru Jr. High school, and it is a Private School, whether it is next year is still being discussed due to the economy. I did not graduate from Middletown.

6) If I sound a little stressed? I will let you know more after Wednesday of this coming week. Please if you know my identity, keep it to yourself. Thanks.

If I sound a little stressed, it is because I am, owning a small business in a bad economy will do that to you. Please if you know my identity, keep it to yourself. Thanks.

7) The building that my business is located, is also where I shopped with my parents as a child. Before anyone else moved it. (it was like des'ja vous (sp), when inspecting when we checked out the place).

I did not grow up here.

8) Location is not a problem for us, unloading supplies & customers finding us IS!

Location is currently a problem for us & finding customers is also at this time.

9) I initially posted to this site because to me Middletown is downtown first and then the surrounding areas second. I expected positive reactions for downtown, but that is probably not the case in this day & age. I have always been a loyal shopper/buyer in Middletown as personal and business (as much as possible for the business, limited).

I initially posted to this site because to me Middletown focuses to much on downtown and the past and ignores much of the surrounding areas. I expect that if the downtown area wants to be re-developed it be done with Private Funds and the City Admin and Council get back to running the whole City. I have always been a loyal shopper/buyer in Middletown as personal and business (as much as possible for the business, limited).

10) As a business owner, you can pick & choose who you think will help your business along when it comes to.....sponsorship so to speak. This year was pretty much the defining year for us, at this point in our business. The Art Central Foundation, Madison Township Springfest and The MidFirst Ohio Challenge. There is a limit to time/money you can do with each one as being a major player. Personalities play in to this. These 3 are personal and motivational for us. Sorry if you disagree. But, these 3 have been good for us.

You have to remember, this is MY OPINION AND POSTINGS ONLY, not my hubby. I am on 2 of these committees, he is on 1. That's not to say we don't support each other. Yeah, I've been testy lately. Owning a business and life combined can be brutal sometimes. I also have some personal family issues happening, but thank god for good doctors and Jack Daniels! And sometimes 56 Degrees after work or someplace else on the EAST end that serves alcohol (El Rancho). I'm also 51 yrs of age and allowed to be the way I am!!!!

Please don't make me regret this post!!!!
Thanks
