When thinking of the two City Council members that I mentioned, it reminds me of:
 
1) the offbeat country music group 'Asleep at the Wheel'
 
2) the frequent background chuckling of Ed McMahon on the "Tonight Show'
 
Oh, I am specifically refering to Ward 1 and Ward 2 incumbents by the way.

Uhh- "One year ago two City Council members CONFIDENTIALLY told me....."

"Who were the two members?" "You refer to "the two above noted councilmembers", yet fail to say who they are".... "tell us"

CONFIDENTIALLY

Hey Rail Fan- If they could hire her, they can fire her. Wonder why they changed their minds? Think the MMF'ers told these council people she would stay and to drop the pursuit of removing her? ]]> Sun, 20 Sep 2009 08:22:42 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1917&PID=11265&title=budgetary-cuts-the-inevitable#11265 Budgetary Cuts- the Inevitable : Could it be that one is your man??... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1917&PID=11257&title=budgetary-cuts-the-inevitable#11257 Author: Rail Fan

I welcome and encourage supporters of the two above noted City Council members to refute what I have said.  The same holds true for these two elected officials to take issue with my comments.
 
This is HYPOCRISY at its' very, very worst.  Vote for Barge, Soppanish, Nagy and Laubach in November!  These four candidates represent the only opportunity for practical decision making, the end of back door deals, the end of substantial political influence that the MMF imposes on us, etc.!

VietVet- I think past councils/commissions failed to act because they assumed the gravy train would never stop and that we'd keep pumping out steel and producing paper forever and ever!!!
 
No, Im not a member of city leadership in any capacity.  Im just a very well informed citizen, with knowledge of the issues, our city's history and I have some common sense.
