Ms. Scott Jones:
I do plan on attending your "Conversation with Council" on Monday.  However, where can we park without fear of violating § 452.03 (a)(18)D of the City of Middletown Code of Ordinances???  LOL LOL LOL
 
I am just kidding about the fear of violating the ordinance!!! (I really do plan on attending.)  The "Conversation with Council" would have to last for six hours before anyone could be cited for violating the "No parking in front or side yards" ordinance.  I have another meeting nearby that begins at 8:00 PM, so I must leave by 7:55!!!

Well 9 years on section 8 and probably welfare but the question is what generation of these two is she ? We all know once your on welfare and section 8 it becomes an inheritance for the future family members to become dependent.
 
I witness section 8 and welfare first hand, during all hours of the day these people are walking the streets,playing basketball and just hanging out with nothing to do. And from appearances all are very able to work some type of job but, to work for minimum wage versus welfare is actually a loss of revenue for the recipient so the welfare mentality continues to grow.
 
A question someone should be asking is why aren't section 8 and welfare recipient's monitored and interviewed from time to time for possible exclusion from the program's ? ]]> Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:32:09 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3148&PID=20274&title=section-8-tenet-speaks-out#20274 Section 8 Tenet Speaks Out : I do not want to get into a contest... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3148&PID=20268&title=section-8-tenet-speaks-out#20268 Author: Anita Scott Jones

I do not want to get into a contest on what I meant.  When I said what I said, I did not know that Ms. Bowen had been on the program for 9 years.  I know of her and have found her to be very pleasant and intelligent.  How long she has been on the program doesn't change what my overall statement was which is we must get handle on this issue. I hope to see some of you at the 3rd ward conversation with council on Monday from 6pm-8pm at my home 4806 Central Avenue-telephone 513-705-0725.

I agree, Randy. Shouldn't section 8 be a temporary buffer for a family experiencing touch times? Since when did it become a lifestyle choice?!?! Also...if you have to pee in a cup to work at Kroger, then shouldn't you have to be drug tested to live off of tax payers?]]> Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:30:45 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3148&PID=20265&title=section-8-tenet-speaks-out#20265 Section 8 Tenet Speaks Out : I could only stand to watch a... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3148&PID=20264&title=section-8-tenet-speaks-out#20264 Author: Bill

I could only stand to watch a minute of that video because she states two inaccuracies right off the bat -- that S8 tenants do not require more police calls (wrong) and that having S8 neighbors do not result in a decline in property values (wrong again).
 
How many times must it be explained to these folks that complaints about this issue are not personal attacks against any particular tenant.  Sure, there are good tenants and those who may live in a nicely kept up home.  We are not talking about YOU or the exceptions, we are talking about the WHOLE and the general rule that too much S8 creates too many problems.

the city can solve her concern about moving costs by offering to pay for the couple hundred bucks it would take to pack up a Uhaul and "haul" her and her kids to an area where there are a few jobs.  If there are no jobs here then why do you continue to live here, lady?  I'm guessing she's got a nice TV, a little jewelry, maybe a car.  Over the course of 9 years most people can scrape up the $$ it takes to rent a van and get out of Dodge.
They should implement a maximum 3 year rule for being on section 8 unless you are a disabled vet or a senior citizen.  I would include being on Secial Security Disability but I know that well-run scam is abused to the hilt and would not want to include the droves of SSD folks into my "new" Sec 8 program.

Taken from the Middletown Journal Written by Jessica Heffner, Staff Writer  
 
 
 

Kiyaa Bowens, 35, who has been in the Section 8 program for nine years, said she is concerned the city is moving to reduce the number of voucher holders when some people have no means to move elsewhere.

“I found it appalling that a City Council convenes and finds a nice way to say please leave our city,” she said.

Bowens, who has three children, said she addressed council to represent the 1,662 voucher holders who will be affected by the policy changes.

So, yes if this report is true then it would apply to her. I am sorry but 9 years is far too long to be on this program. Section has no time limit as to how long you can be on it. There in lies the problem...IMO!
