No, Im not related to Mr. Armbruster, dont have any ties to him, nor am I a member of city leadership in any capacity. Im just a very well informed citizen/voter, with knowledge of all the issues, our city's history and I have some common sense.

There are countless things Mr. Armbruster has provided for Ward 1....like representation, leadership, responsiveness and sound judgement for a few.

Although we have the ward system in this town, it's only in place to make it easier for people to get elected to council. If you read their oath of office, they are to represent the ENTIRE city, something Mr. Armbruster has done. The ward system in this town wasnt devised so a member of council could deliver some 'pet project' to an area or specific ward. If that's what you think, then you're wrong.

At least he's sharing the good news....no one else on this site seems to be able to do that!

Murdock - Please don't think we are ganging up on you here,but Middeltown is in desperate need of change.

I asked previously for a list,even a small list,of Mr Armbrusters accomplishments and you have yet to supply one. I seriously think that you can not supply one because one doesn't exist. While Mr Armbruster has a long and distinguished history of business in this town his accomplishments and efforts as a councilman leave a lot to be desired. You are to be applauded for standing up for what you believe,just as we on here believe what we believe. As for the attributes you list,"representation, leadership, responsiveness and sound judgement for a few" I personally find none of these qualities available in Mr Armbruster as a councilman. I seriously believe the only reason Mr Armbruster even ran for the position was because he was bored perhaps and thought being on council would break up the monotony of his daily routine,(just my opinion).

Regardless of thoughts one thing is for certain,Middeltown is and has been in serious trouble on all levels and the only way to head off it's total destruction is to rid city hall of incompetency. This would cover but not limited to all council members,the city manager & possibly a large percentage of department heads.

Good video Tudor ! I think thats whats wrong with Middeltown,if we helped Africa it would educate Americans as to where downtown is. No one knows where downtown is because they can't read a map. Without a map the world would never be. Without a map a man aint got a friend. Without a map the road would never bend. Without a map. So I keep looking at the map.

OK Murdock- To answer your questions- I've been in this town since 1948. I've seen this town in it's glory and I see the cluster it is now. How long have you been here? I lived in the 1st Ward from 1985 to 2005, when we moved to the 3rd Ward. I have seen Armbruster in action on Council. To reinforce what I've said, go to TV Middletown, open up some of the old Council meetings and pay close attention to the council comments portion of the meeting. When it is Armbruster's turn to comment, all you get is "I attended a cub scout meeting and the kids seemed so enthusiastic about their projects" or "I'm happy to report that the cleanup at Sunset Park is going smoothly and it's looking great"- Nothing of substance- nothing earth-shattering- nothing of any notoriety that addresses the serious issues of this town. Also pay attention to his input and ideas during council discussions on any topic. There is no response from him on any subject. He just sits and listens. Listening is good, but at some point, one is expected to offer something of substance in a meeting, aren't they? Good Lord, when I said he is asleep in the meetings, I didn't mean it literally- I meant it as a description as to his lack of input in the council meetings- Mercy! Tell us Murdock- what meaningful, important, significant contributions has Armbruster made in his tenure on Council? Show us we're wrong on our assessment of the man. As it is now, he is occupying a council seat that could be better put to use by someone who will be proactive in the decision-making process. You said- "as far as good news for this community, one could ASSUME he was referring to new jobs coming to Middletown"- Awfully bold assumption, isn't it? Based on past performance on jobs being created in this town, that's a risky statement to make, isn't it? "We are at too critical of a point in this community to bring inexperience to the table"- Mercy! Murdock- and the experience we have now has gotten us what? You can't possibly be satisfied with the clowns that are on Council now. None of them deserve our vote. They are inept, misdirected, illogical and have driven this town into the abyss with their Section 8, lack of jobs, business unfriendly attitude, and financial mismanagement of the city funds. How can you support that kind of performance? And finally- you chastise me for using this forum as a bit-- session and I am part of the problem. You ask me to get out and do something for this community and quit complaining. Just as you have labeled me as a bitch-- and complainer, I will throw it back at you and label you as a blind, rose-colored glass looking, naive, "can't see the forest for the trees" type person who appears to be incapable of assessing a pathetic situation and calling it as it really is. And as far as doing something for the community. Depending on the outcome of the November election- IF the incumbants are retained, I will do something for this community- I will attempt to gather petition signatures for the recall of those incumbants so that the voters can place the correct people in those council seats. Removal of those who destroy a city is the only logical place to start in "doing something for this community". Have a nice day.
