I gave up on the Journal long ago, and if the story has been removed it may be because the Journal is in the pockets of City Hall didnt you know that???]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2009 18:14:14 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1684&PID=9493&title=citycouncil-approves-bike-path-citizen-comments#9493 CityCouncil Approves Bike Path - Citizen Comments : On the Journal Main page as they... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1684&PID=9489&title=citycouncil-approves-bike-path-citizen-comments#9489 Author: Pacman

On the Journal Main page as they add stories throughout the day, stories drop off to page two and three, other news stories, sometimes they recycle some stories back to the front page.  After the third page they go into the archives basically and you have to search for them.  This is just my observation over the past year or so of reading the web site.]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2009 18:02:27 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1684&PID=9489&title=citycouncil-approves-bike-path-citizen-comments#9489 CityCouncil Approves Bike Path - Citizen Comments : Marianne - Yesterday morning... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1684&PID=9488&title=citycouncil-approves-bike-path-citizen-comments#9488 Author: Ima B.

Marianne -
 
Yesterday morning at 9:07 am I posted the first 17 reader comments pertaining to Ed Richter's story on Tuesday's City Council meeting and the Bike Path funding approval.  This was copied from the Latest News column of the Middletown Journal website.
 
Several hours later I re-checked the MJ website (Latest News) and found that the number of reader comments had grown to 27.  By late afternoon I further noticed that Mr. Richter's story had been moved to the More Local News Headlines.
 
Today, I again checked the MJ website and discovered that it was no longer there.  Also, I checked the Most Popular in Local News and did not see it there as well.
 
Then, I checked Middletown Local News Blogs.  No luck again.
 
I don't know what else to say.

Question to Middletown Journal:

Why has Ed Richter's story on the August 4th meeting of the City Council (including the Great Miami Bike Path funding approval) been REMOVED from your website? ConfusedConfused
 
Surely this decision was not prompted because 27 NEGATIVE READER COMMENTS were posted on the bike path approval as of yesterday afternoon? ConfusedConfused
 
Will you enlighten us as to the RATIONALE for this decision? OuchOuch


Was it removed?

Interesting that the Journal would remove the whole story and not just the comments.

Today's legal notices in the Middletown Journal included an Invitation to Bid for improvements to be made to our fire stations.  How interesting that Federal funds were available to address these needs and other cost-saving energy conservation improvements to City buildings. ConfusedConfused  Instead, local funds will now be spent for this purpose. ConfusedConfused  I guess that the Bike Path lobbyists must have provided compelling arguments for the all-knowing bureaucrats at One Donham Plaza?

Seems the city advertised(in today's MJ) for bids to make fire station repairs also.
So--we can do it all now?
Where is the $$ coming from?
And why is there nothing to fix the streets and sewers, which should be a top priority imo.
 
 
It's the magic of the bike path spider ! When your standing,walking or riding on the bike path magical things happen.

Of course that's a logical place to start... I was only trying to show you that the bike trail does make SOME sense.  My husband and I are the types of people who would chose a town based on something like a bike trail, so it is not unheard of.
