No one at city council comprehended the message: pretty simple all, 68% of section 8 in one city in one county is two much. Instead, it excuses that people wanting to leave Middletown are no different than any other city, a generalization 68% is a statement which must be moved up to the larger realm of federal deficits and constitutional principles (manage the city Mr. Lambaugh, not the OMB).

 

My question is: why do you people bother, no one gets it downtown, never have, never will. Messenger's point was- why is 68% of a county's total in Middletown, and what are its impact? Review the film, no one got messenger's point. Seemed Ms. Smith just saying Middletown was no different than any other city, as people want to move, the grass is always greener. How sad the constant lack of depth is put in office every four years. No chnge, no comprehension, macro generalities.Par for the course. 

 

Maybe then more would've shown up to support Randy.

 

Quit shirking your duties. These people depend on you.

 

I just checked my calendar and you were poster child for arts and humanities last week, so it is Hermes's turn for that this week.  It is your week to be the poster child for tolerance, agreement and understanding of the way they are running the city, and my week to be the poster child for for cheering for our unelected leaders and inflating public information figures!    

 

Rah, rah, Sam!! Rah, rah, Ann!!  Go, Mike, go!! 

 

Rim Ram Ree, hit 'em in the knee!!

Rim Ram Rass, Hit 'em with another 250,000 visitors this weekend!!!

GooooOOO Middletoooooowwwn!

 

Any one that knows me and has meet me at meetings knows I usually sit there quietly and get some film. I tend think that my speaking out against things is sort of a conflict given my roll here on MUSA. But last night was the proverbial straw.

 

The funniest thing was the look on peoples faces when my name was called to talk, LOL I could see the shock on some faces of council members. You would have thought I was gonna reveal some big secrete or I was gonna preach MUSA 4-life. I do think someone needed to remind council and the people watching just what the numbers are, the fact is the numbers do not lie. 68% of section 8 for a county located in one area says it all to me.

 

I have had enough with all the talking...it time for someone on council or the city building to stand up and do what is right. I do believe that Josh and Scott-Jones are on the right path. JMO

 

I also think that Consoc is being thrown under the bus here, they are not completely to blame for this mess we find ourselves in.

 

After the meeting was over I had some talks with landlords Dan Tracy and Jeff Faulkner (spelled wrong I know Sorry) Jeff did give me some info from HUD, it is their response to this new plan from Doug Adkins and the city of Middletown. Have a read it is interesting stuff. HUD Response

 

I do love the fact that some of landlords dont live in Middletown, It is easy to say keep the vouchers here we need them...when you dont live here and see the shape of this town everyday.

 

I will say this...it is time for MUSA readers and posters to take a more active role in what is happening in Middletown.  Myself included!!
