So, folks, There you have it!!!

I tried to warn you but no one seemed too concerned.

If you look for this item on the agenda for LAST WEEK’S meeting (Remember, this meeting was postponed due to weather!!!) all you will find is the rather innocuous sounding item:

“• Public Safety Levy Follow-Up from Retreat”

City hall’s willing accomplices at the local newspaper sat on this until 3:13 AM this morning, the very morning of the meeting. I guess that it “just came across the wire” in the middle of the night!!!

Who knows what actually is up for discussion under these other items scheduled for the semi-secret, non-televised work session:

• SR122 Plat Dedication

• Lefferson Road Street Improvement Discussion

• Budget Follow-Up from Council Retreat

• Parking Garage Demo Follow-Up

• Road Salt

• Misc.

My guess is that it will be whatever ELSE they are too AFRAID or too ASHAMED to discuss in the open in the clear view of the TVMiddletown cameras and the citizens (and especially the VOTERS) of Middletown.

Well, I can’t attend. My first obligation tonight is to attend the Central Committee meeting to perform my elected duty of helping to choose a new County Prosecutor.

We know that we cannot rely on our local newspaper for a complete and accurate report of the goings on at city hall tonight. So, since no one else seems interested, I guess that we’ll never know what transpires at Donham Plaza during this little skull session.

Then again, I think I remember some of these same politician telling us that they are proponents of “open government”!!!

I guess we can rely on them to tell us exactly what went on, right Bonzo???
