More tax money for facades.

This time to Outside the Line restaurant and Art Central Foundation, 18 N. Clinton St.: $15,000 for a new facade.

How many freakin' addresses does Art Central Foundation have, and when did they get into the restaurant business?

One heck of a run on sentence oversight. Kinda missing some punctuation too.

Let's see......you said

"BUT I TELL YOU HUD WILL NOT ALLOW ANYBODY TO REMOVE THE FAMILIES ON THIS PROGRAM OUT OF THE CITY OF MIDDLETOWN THEY HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT TO BE HERE AS WE DO A SOME HAVE MORE BORN AND RAISED IN THE CITY PLAYED SPORTS AND CALL THIS THERE HOME"

Nope, gotta disagree with you on this one oversight. The city may not be able to remove the current Section 8 families, however, the city has the right to let the unfilled vouchers lapse and as the Section 8 blight leaves the city, simply not renew/replace with a new client. Attrition. Will take awhile but the city will eventually reduce the number to a more reasonable 600-700 Section 8 clients. We are inundated with an overabundance of this blight now. Bad for the city.

Oh, and no, the newcomers to our city, drawn here for the handout known as HUD Section 8 do not have as much of a right as the folks like myself that were born and raised here to come in and "ghetto" my hometown up. I strongly resent that being done to this town. Gotta work and get it yourself instead of relying on others as a career goal.Personally, I'd like to see them all gone and this town clean up it's image from slumville to a more respected town. Need to upgrade the clientele we attract here......at least to the middle class level. Not gonna happen with these handout programs. ]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2012 20:31:20 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4743&PID=35336&title=grant-to-give-facelift#35336 Grant to give facelift : Oversight,Research Section... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4743&PID=35329&title=grant-to-give-facelift#35329 Author: Pacman

Oversight,

Research Section 8 funding a little further on The City disburments Contract with Nelson & Associates. Also, would you mind unlocking the Caps key.

There are plenty places to research here on this forum on Section 8. Lots of research to be done. Section 8 voucher holders can live where they wish. Why they would choose Middletown with a limited non-exited job outlook is beyond me. I would head to a least Hamilton just on the chance the job out look is better.

Hasn't the Section 8 manager's paycheck risen sharply in the past 3.5 years? Wasn't he making about $47,000 before when he worked in the Prosecutor's Office? Doesn't he get about $95,000 now?]]> Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:33:53 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4743&PID=35312&title=grant-to-give-facelift#35312 Grant to give facelift : FOR GET THE MAYOR'S SHACK... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4743&PID=35311&title=grant-to-give-facelift#35311 Author: OVER SIGHT

A few good things about Middletown;

1 With the exception of the intersection of Towne Blvd and Rt 122 there are no traffic jams in Midd., hence you can get out of town quickly to shop in the surrounding towns.

2 If you do have to travel in Midd. there are plenty of ploaces to park.

3 The laws and rules change at a whim so we are not bored with the "same old thing".

4 Our leaders are accomplished and creative, they can find money when needed to fund their current activities plus they allow us to be a part of that thru our tax dollars.

5 There is a multitude of empty homes and homes for sale at a reduced cost b/c so many people want to relocate.

6 The city has successfully eliminated a number of businesses that polluted our air.

7 They have brought in a diverse group of people thru section 8 making it possible for us to meet new people.

8 Our town is not made insightly by all those business advertising signs. When ppl on 75 pass by our ramp all they see is tranquility.

I love Middletown!!!!!! Oh, I have property for sale if anyone is interested.

I like this wanna. Very perceptive. Now, perhaps if the Econ. Dev. people, who visit this site, read this, they can incorporate the items mentioned here in their "Welcome To Middletown" brochure.

Based on this list, the city leaders are "taking care of business" after all. Great game plan for the city. ]]> Tue, 30 Oct 2012 10:45:29 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4743&PID=35303&title=grant-to-give-facelift#35303 Grant to give facelift : A fewgood things about Middletown;1... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4743&PID=35301&title=grant-to-give-facelift#35301 Author: wannaknow
