I understand from a couple of veteran posters that you are recuperating from a recent medical procedure.  My our heavenly father bless you and your upcoming campaign for elective office.

 

May I be so bold as to suggest that people contact you to help out in any way possible as the petition filing deadline rapidly approaches.

     Wish I could agree with you but I can't. In the context of the city's condition at the time we were all looking for solutions to move our city forward. My suggestions were just that. How do you know they were unrealistic? I don't think they were anymore unrealistic then your solutions or anyone elses. By the way, what were/are your solutions? No one ever talked with me about what I proposed. I don't expect people to agree with me. I just want people to see that there are plenty of opportunities out there and nothing will ever be done if someone doesn't decide to take some action. I mentioned in that article that there were probably others who had better ideas. 

      Regarding the "Atlanta Plan" you are wrong again. I had the facts and the plan has worked successfully in several places around the country. Some places it hasn't worked and the recent notices on the problems some of those places were having was news to me and I'm still waiting for some answers. I stepped out of the effort because the so called " movers and shakers" said if Nagy has anything to do with it we won't. The project was more important than who was involved. I notice they haven't gotten very far with it but even recently were exploring it. Do you think that the proposals of Place matters or of the young lady doing the revitalization study at MU is unrealistic?  So, I would be happy to sit down and compare the facts with you and see which of us has done his homework. When would you like to do that?

       I make a lot of mistakes and plan to make a lot more but I always deal with the facts I have at the time.  We all need to Keep on looking for solutions to the problems that effect some 50,000 of our citizens every day.

       Thanks for the post. You are probably right almost everything has proven to be unrealistic as far as significant change in Middletown. However, we are making some positive progress.
