Rem,
You didn't come off that way...at least you didn't appear so to me.
Besides, it appears that smart__ses are welcome here.  (They still allow ME to post!!!) Big%20smile

Was just cking,  did not mean to come off as a smart__s. I found this thread although at times going in different directions quite interesting.  As in another thread, I stated it comes down to leadership and following the law and a plan that as Mr. Presta laid out on his first post focus's on the real problems. ]]> Thu, 24 Mar 2011 10:39:25 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26087&title=what-a-mess#26087 What a mess!!! : rem 1187 wrote:Did we get rid... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26079&title=what-a-mess#26079 Author: VietVet

Nope, the mess is still here....and, they're still occuping the city building and sitting behind council's desk every other Tuesday. But, it was fun discussing those associated with the mess. ]]> Thu, 24 Mar 2011 06:31:35 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26079&title=what-a-mess#26079 What a mess!!! : rem 1187 wrote:Did we get rid... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26077&title=what-a-mess#26077 Author: Mike_Presta

We will have very shortly...just as soon as Cinci State brings "thousands of jobs and millions of dollars" to our community!!!
 
A resident recently said "this is the most important thing that has happened in Middletown in the last 50 years.”
 
Another resident said "Middletown has municipal government rife with corruption."
 
Of course, just because a resident said it, doesn't necessarily make a statement true.

This is a tech school. I hope all of staff and middletown knows this. Oxford, Athens B.G.S.U far from it. To bad small steps couldn't have been applied to this great experiment. One building two courses with expectations set very low. Would love to go down to a bar that served a great micro-I.P.A with some steamed clams and a upbeat crowd. Alot of dropouts in two year programs.]]> Sun, 20 Mar 2011 18:22:35 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26032&title=what-a-mess#26032 What a mess!!! : The big problem with this deal... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26031&title=what-a-mess#26031 Author: Bill

The big problem with this deal is that more taxpayer funds will be used to make it happen than we will get back in the form of increased tax revenue.]]> Sun, 20 Mar 2011 12:30:04 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26031&title=what-a-mess#26031 What a mess!!! : Mr. Presta - only one guess should... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26029&title=what-a-mess#26029 Author: TonyB

Mr. Presta - only one guess should be sufficient, don't you think? Once again, I'll state the obvious; I don't mind spending taxpayer money, but when you do it, it had better succeed!! The proven track record of our city council to properly manage an economic development makes this chancy proposal. Also, just because one would be crazy not to take this offer, doesn't mean it's going to happen!!! You are absolutely correct when you point to the money already spent is just the downpayment on this whole development. My post above about literally turning this into a college town may be the solution to every point you listed above. If nothing else, apathy will either disappear or be replaced. What will replace the apathy if this doesn't happen?]]> Sun, 20 Mar 2011 11:24:20 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26029&title=what-a-mess#26029 What a mess!!! : I admit that I am not a culinary... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26028&title=what-a-mess#26028 Author: Mike_Presta

I admit that I am not a culinary school graduate, but a feel I must correct the unnamed “college official’s” recipe for a “college in a box”!!! The missing ingredient is NOT water.

I believe what he/she should’ve said is: “Just add MONEY!!!”

Does anyone need three guesses whose money our vaunted city officials plan to use???

Just think of the number of retired Armco management teaching business classes on campus, the attorneys in town teaching paralegal classes, and all the adjunct professor roles everyone would have. ust imagine the guest lecture series. I think S. Main to easily handle 5,000 students in some of those 30,000s ft homes. And at Halloween, for a month, The movie theater runs with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Now where will they place Sigma Chi and Kappa Alpha Theta? ]]> Sat, 19 Mar 2011 19:50:34 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3718&PID=26023&title=what-a-mess#26023
