No one at city hall is making strides in moving forward, the game is to create this false image has much brighter the future will be, until they retire. Any other city in Ohio, where the residents have a backbone, they'd be fired in a New York minute. In Middletown, its part of the game. 

 

Expect PAC to close shop within 3 years. Cinci State is a shell game tetering on disaster before it begins. City getting ready to invest capital funds for equipment, when they should outsource it to Superior Blacktop. What city hall has done would be a crime in most cities, but its business as usual in Middletown.

 

Had enough of AJ Smith. This young man is delusional. Too much drama queen. Texting messages coming in, and now he wants secret service protection. This city is nothing but a Three Stooges comedy hour 24/7.

 

No worries on Robinette, Rhonda will find some work for him in Trenton, after she gets her slary restored with Freking & Betz's hammer. A city of entitlement in ruins.        

 

The bar is pretty low if anyone advocates a Bill Murphy clone be found. Taxes, or the lack thereof, and quality of life and convenience, propel both businesses and residents. Middletown has neither, Its taxes are high, and the "low housing" is attributed by the incomprehensible failure to put money into maintaining streets and infratsructures---simply put, it is a mess, and everyone knows that as a fact.

 

The situation with Mr. Robinette and AJ Smith was a matter outside the realm of daily work, but a needless embarrassment for both parties. I ask, knowing Robineet's background was more in finace, and not business nor economic development, how was he an appropriate candidate? Simply because he had a few connections in the Miami Valley? That doesn't get you much, nor has it. Everything that has transpired has nothing to do with any initiative spurred by the city. And, its impact has been negligible. Add to that the fact Ohio is losing about 300,000 residents, with the rust belt sector cemented to its identity, and giving away houses and eduaction, and buikdings for "art" does nothing to bring in tax revenues, quality schools, and a thriving community.

 

Face facts: Middletown lost two ED's in a short period of time, a football coach, and many businesses. Its throwing money on PAC and Cinci State on a prayer someone else can figure it out. The city is dead, beyond recovery, and continues repeating the same mistakes constantly. Save tyhe money, don't even waste time nor money on a ED. Let Neyer and the others that really run the city, continue on. People WANT OUT of Middletown---NOT IN.
