    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=579">TANGO</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 3522<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> Dec&nbsp;10&nbsp;2010 at 4:55am<br /><br /><P>I was at the meeting and for the record most of those union people were from as far way as Tipp city Columbus cinn. Their scare tactic worked on council, I will admit that the resolution may have needed a little clarification,Picard should have give his thoughts before and not used it to find a way out of&nbsp; voting for the legislation. AJ boy what piece of work,didn't surprise me any.&nbsp;Hes the unions rep. in this meeting they were their because they listened to him thats very weak when the unions are letting AJ smith lead them.</P><DIV>Josh my advice to you is to the coarse and you&nbsp;must learn that the people like AJ are simply out for anybody they can mislead with BS like he pulled on you at meeting, He useless thats why he has talks all the time and asks dumb questions, robo calls(he found that tactic in obama)</DIV>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=114">VietVet</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 3522<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> Dec&nbsp;08&nbsp;2010 at 7:00pm<br /><br />Oh hell no! Just got a recorded message from AJ Smith saying the people have spoken and no resolution will occur to the tune of a 6 to 1 vote. (Thanks Josh for doing the right thing with your 1 vote) Disappointed at Ms. Scott-Jones for going along with the other spineless wonders on this council. Do they not care that the unions are normally not willing to compromise? Do the six that voted this down not care whether the city has any bargaining power at the negotiation table? Do the six that voted this down not care whether the cost legacies of the unions pay and benefit packages end up bankrupting the city as it destroys the city budget? What is wrong with these six people on council? They don't have a clue as to the meaning of the words logic and competency. Clean 'em all out and leave Laubach as the new anchor of a competent thinking council next time. It's the only way we can change this cluster........ Bad decision from you six members.  <img src="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/smileys/smiley21.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> You have hurt this city now and in the future for not pursuing this. You cowered down to the greedy little union people. Most don't care about the city. Most of them don't live here, so the only thing most of them care about in Middletown is protecting their paychecks.......and you wimped out from their "harsh" talk. You should have told them to live with it that the city is pursuing a change in negotiations and to butt out if they came from Dayton. It ain't none of Dayton's business. <br /><br />Mr. Smith, I didn't appreciate your canned, pre-recorded message sent to my number telling me "the people have spoken". Nonsense, the council cowered down behind the desk. I don't agree with you bud. You are on the wrong side and you are too blind to see it. ]]>
