Stanky -
Why does the city want to tear down the Temple building? A parking lot? seriously?

Stanky
    The Temple Art Group came before City Council to request the Temple Building be donated to their group. It was the same action that the Middletown Historical Society did last year when they request the Bank One Building be donated to their group.
    None of the buildings that the city has purchased will be torn down anytime soon because they want to be part of Main Street USA.
    CHAPS was at the meeting to support the City’s investment in restoration of all the old downtown building. Didn’t you notice Mr. Mulligan smiling as they stood up and spoke to save all of the old building on Main Street. Just another dog and pony show for the public.

Steve Dillman's store ran out of room for the semi's so the city wants to use the space after the Temple is torn down. Also, it competes with PAC, so that's the second justification.]]> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:26:02 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4394&PID=31988&title=02-21-2012-council-meeting#31988 02/21/2012 council meeting : Why does the city want to tear... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4394&PID=31987&title=02-21-2012-council-meeting#31987 Author: Stanky

When the high end apartments known as Trinity Place were built they had to put some Section 8 there in order to fill the complex...I believe the same will happen with these apartments.

If you read the workbook Mr. Presta kindly provided the link, it said with specificity, the intent was to build apartments for "high income earners." But, it won't be high income earners, which was the motto of Joe Mulligan during the election what Middletown needs, it will be more section 8, they just will put them close to Walmart so they can walk over, use their food stamp debit card, and then give plasma for $50. at Bioscience. That is the 'new' Middletown of the past 20 years.]]> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 10:30:35 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4394&PID=31983&title=02-21-2012-council-meeting#31983 02/21/2012 council meeting : Did you check out the workbooks... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4394&PID=31982&title=02-21-2012-council-meeting#31982 Author: VietVet

Did you check out the workbooks from the past concerning this parcel of land? There are letters signed by the folks living around the proposed site of these apartments that were opposed to building the complex on a past proposal. Seems they were concerned about the place becoming low income and voiced concern for what usually transpires with Section 8---IE- more crime, lower property values, image, etc. Looks like they will not be listened to by council as per standard operating procedure of citizen exclusion.

I agree Vivian....looks like another opportunity for a builder (friend of city hall?) to construct some low income apartments down around Wal-Mart so that the city can up the count and do some more "city trashing". I can understand the majority of council approving crap like this. They are the nimrods who continue to wreck the city. What I don't understand is Mr. Laubach and Ms. Scott-Jones going along with all of this. Thought they might offer us some hope. But then again, maybe not. Sad to see.]]> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 10:25:16 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4394&PID=31982&title=02-21-2012-council-meeting#31982 02/21/2012 council meeting : I can't get over AJ's... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4394&PID=31981&title=02-21-2012-council-meeting#31981 Author: Bill

    The approval of this property for 216 new apartment units was an insult to any thinking resident of Middletown. Mr. Kohler nor Mr. Cristo could tell us how many 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom units were going to be built in this complex. They also didn’t know the cost per square foot of these rentals. Do you really believe the answers or should I say non answers to these questions?
    Do you really believe that if they can only rent 150 of these units that they will not rent the other 66 units as Section 8 at 110%? Did you hear Mr. Mulligan say that they have NO control over who these apartments are rented to?
    Yep this is the new reduction Section 8 Plan for the City of Middletown…dump them on Warren County.

Quite ironic, isn’t it???  Both Annie and Mayor Muggsie will soon bevoting to move the discussion of the people’s business upstairs and AWAY FROMthe view of any cameras.  But you can betyour sweet bippy that they will be calling for every media camera around tocover any ribbon-cutting or dedication ceremonies.

That kind of shows you where their hearts are—and they are NOTon the side of the people!!!
