Spiderjohn-
It's hard to say why so many in ward 2 voted AGAINST ward representation....my guess would be many didnt understand the ballot language!?!?!?!
 
As for the Cemetary mess, City Council just needs to tell the city manager to get that mess fixed.  Too many times, this council forgets who works for who!!!  City Council works for us and the city manager works for them....they need to give direction, not the other way around!!!!!  It's really that easy!!

correct murdock
and u r correct about the Cemetary
 
?s are:
Why so many in ward 2 voted AGAINST ward representation
Why Council has not commented on the Cemetary mess(litigation being one strong reason).
  However the city manage/staff is obviously acting with their approval

You dont need to explain the actions of the other Wards that did not vote....my question was why do the people in the 2nd Ward  NEVER vote??? 
 
YOU live in Ward 2....why dont you tell me why the citizens in your ward never vote????

Murdock

I live in Ward 2 and I did vote.
I can't explain the actions of others in any of the Wards that did not vote.
Why are you on this blog complaining?
Why don't you stand up and go speak to those that have the answers to your questions if you really want to know the answers?

Good question Murdock.  They moan, groan and bitch about everything and then they don'r vote.The leadership also would rather moan, groan and bitch rather than get out the vote go figure.  The other funny part is that people on here that post and talk about issues are basically looked down upon, but let the 2nd ward complain about something and most of the time the city can't move fast enough to placate them.Thumbs%20Down ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:01:59 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2313&PID=13900&title=andrew-smith-interview#13900 Andrew Smith Interview : And how many stakeholders from... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2313&PID=13898&title=andrew-smith-interview#13898 Author: Murdock

And how many stakeholders from Ward 2 came out to vote on Election Day???  Once again, Ward 2 had the LOWEST voter turnout out of all of the Wards......yet they seem to complain and b**ch the most!?!?!?!?  How does the 2nd Ward Council and community leaders explain such apathy and lack of civic responsiblity??  Why is it Ward 2 fails to exercise their right to vote, something many people sacrificed their lives for???

"I don’t believe that what I would like to see changed is most important, but what our citizens would like to see changed; for they are the true stakeholders in our community." quote from A.J. Smith


I have shared my thoughts on the needed changes I would like to see in Ward 2 and the entire City with Mr. Smith...Sewers and Streets and the Big Question we all want to know about "Where's the money?"

I agree Vet, and may do just that. It just really pisses me off that our newly elected councilman, who had all the time in the world to think of a response to these questions, chooses to hop over them. This does not look good on his behalf. If he can't find a suitable answer in the week since the election, which is when I assume he was given these questions, then how is he going to come up with answers on the spot other times?

It will be interesting to see.]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:21:59 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2313&PID=13882&title=andrew-smith-interview#13882
