    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=334">acclaro</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 1597<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> Jul&nbsp;23&nbsp;2009 at 4:42pm<br /><br />Strange that Franklin would have jurisdictional authority over the area including the Atrium in law, but the Hunter area is within 4th Ward? Don't believe that is correct. Middletown gets payroll taxes from Atrium, Franklin gets property tax. If property taxes are going to Franklin, how on earth is the Hunter area near Fenwick in the 4th Ward? Don't think so, but moot anyway, Dan lives near the hospital.]]>

You have been the only one to do so&nbsp; thus far. I did not see Mrs. Ford come on after her answers were posted here. <br>For that you are to be commended. I believe you will find that the people that contribute to the forum are very intelligent and only want what is best for a city. <br><br>I do have a question for you, how do you feel about the Keep Middletown Beautiful program?<br>I think they city "had" good intentions to start but have gotten out of hand and have bigger issues than worrying if my gutters are rusty or not. please view the links below to familiarize your self with the topic of<a href="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151" target="_blank"> Rusty Gutters&nbsp;&nbsp; </a>and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1622" target="_blank"> Rusty Gutters Are Back!!<br></a><br>]]>

Won't he be automatically removed from Council as being non-qualified by residency? Anyone? Even the side show committees have a residency requirement to be a legitimate member (although that has been abused if you check the zip codes by the names on the committee lists.) ]]>

Since your involvement with many members on the Charter Review Committee, and you endorsed their written agenda verbatim concerning changing Council make-up.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>It will be interesting to see your list of campaign contributors and the $$ raised. I would imagine many of the same names associated with MMF would be listed, even though you claim to know nothing about their existence.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>If you sell your residence and move outside of the ward where you are hoping to represent, will you resign your Council position? Actiually, if you are planning to move to another area, why run for this particular ward position at all(especially since you don't support the ward system)? Granted--my ?ing is based on the mentioned statement that you have maketed your residence.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Thank you for coming here to participate in discussion, and all of the best to you. In no way do I doubt your intentions or qualifications/desire to serve our community.</DIV>]]>

My questions is, why do you want this job? Visibility for new law office, influence on tax credits you referenced, and are you moving to Monroe? In summary, why do you want the job, instead of what are your qualifications.&nbsp;]]>
