Vet,

I have a suggestion for an approach that might stimulate enough people to show up to meetings. do what the minutemen did to get their volunteer militia to show up: offer free beer after the meeting!!! Of course, then you get into the whole, how do we get everybody home, but I'd be willing to bet attendance at the meetings would improve!!! Smile

Talking.....I applaud your suggestion about taking action concerning the future of Middletown. On several occasions in the past, attempts have been made to organize and throw some resistance toward the current regime and changing the current direction and priorities of this city. Unfortunately, the attempt at the old Montgomery Ward building on University and the attempt at the Library died as a result of the apathy found in most of this town. Couldn't get anyone to show up in any numbers to make it worth while. Perhaps you could suggest an approach that you think might work to stimulate the people enough that they would show in numbers to any meeting? ]]> Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:14:24 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4344&PID=32483&title=note-to-city-council#32483 Note To City Council: : GS, if you are referring to the... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4344&PID=32481&title=note-to-city-council#32481 Author: Talking Heads

" Part of the solution ". Was taught to saying nothing if it wasn't nice or helped solve a problem. Any time you like to tell me your solutions please have at it. This will come off like a third grader but if you like to compare time cards for volunteering please send me a private message so you can enlighten me on how to get involved. What a joke!! Again are the drug stores in town closing early, must be cause some folks aren't getting their meds. ]]> Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:57:49 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4344&PID=32473&title=note-to-city-council#32473 Note To City Council: : Excellent, Spider.

Excellent, Spider. I congratulate you. Others should also see interiors prior to making broad statements of demolition or the buildings' worth/potential. Not calling vision "having the same" but each has their own vision and if some on this post have vision, then do something about it.  Wish some that have such negative opinions of downtown/the city would get together, pull resources and invest in the vision that could be created into something positive rather than negative talk. All seem intelligent people, with some qualified opinions and facts. Perhaps this new Downtown Inc. has creativity and stamina.  ]]> Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:43:35 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4344&PID=32472&title=note-to-city-council#32472 Note To City Council: : Hey talking head: Since your... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4344&PID=32471&title=note-to-city-council#32471 Author: spiderjohn

Hey talking head:
Since your post directly followed my post, I'll assume that you are referring to me.
Rest assured that I have been inside pretty much every business property in this city numerous times, and over decades.

Why should a "leader" make over $100,000.00 while we lose firemen and cops and our city goes down hill. Also, why do we pay so much to our leaders when we are such a small city?]]> Wed, 28 Mar 2012 01:02:31 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4344&PID=32465&title=note-to-city-council#32465 Note To City Council: : I think we need to do performance... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4344&PID=32464&title=note-to-city-council#32464 Author: thoroughman

Mr. P,

I think they like to call that "having the same vision". The problem seems to be that their vision is a little fuzzy on details, like: who's going to pay for it and how it advances the community. The devil is always in the details!
