    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=334">acclaro</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 3869<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> May&nbsp;19&nbsp;2011 at 9:34am<br /><br />Welcome back Mr. Marconi, we missed you. You are able to run unopposed. Others will stay as MMF probably can't even find anyone willing to run. Life continues in Middletown, no change, status quo, falling off cliff. I mean for the residents of course, the city beast continues a comfortable existence.<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Heard several&nbsp;health professionals ticked Jackie Philips spent time preparing for the presentation on the levy to council than to attend the county Emergency and Disaster activities. Regionalization?&nbsp;A no show at a county preparation event. Sad. Just say NO in the fall.</DIV>]]>

It was interesting that after they decided to go into executive session that Ms. Scott-Jones came over and said virtually the same thing to me about NSP. She also encouraged me to keep coming to council meetings and bringing up points of interests. She also told me that she felt that she was elected to ask questions and push for what is in the best interests of the citizens and I believe that her actions demonstrate that committment.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Your news is much more exciting. If there is anything I can do to help "The Gang of Four" (that has a nice ring to it!!! lol) please let me know!</div>]]>
