    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=114">VietVet</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 4948<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> Dec&nbsp;19&nbsp;2012 at 3:26pm<br /><br /> <table width="99%"><tr><td class="BBquote"><img src="forum_images/quote_box.png" title="Originally posted by swohio75" alt="Originally posted by swohio75" style="vertical-align: text-bottom;" /> <strong>swohio75 wrote:</strong><br /><br />I'd like to see Laubach continue.</td></tr></table><br /><br />Ya know, sw, I had high hopes for Josh. Started off well, asking questions, having forums and discussion and providing the single voice on council that provided good representation. Scott-Jones has her moments when she supports thinking that would include good for the city and the people. Then, tails off and rejoins the rest of the problem children on council at times. Picard, both Mulligans, Becker, Mort, Gilleland, Landen, Kohler, and the rest of the MMF puppet/ town-wreckers can do a job on a good attitude. You could hate real easily after viewing what they have to offer and learn the games they play at our expense.  <br /><br />I don't see the same behavior and enthusiasm from Josh anymore. Perhaps he has been told to keep quiet or stand down by the power brokers. Perhaps he is tired of the battle and sees himself constantly outnumbered in everything he attempts. Guess that would cause depression in anyone. Another good person with good intentions beaten down by the nonsense that is city government. Gotta have a strong, bull-headed personality and not care if you are liked by them to stand up for what is right against the pressure. <br /><br />Put Josh with people like the Spider, Mike, Vivian and other people who call it like it is and want to fix it and I'd bet Laubach would be a totally different person. Until that happens, I would imagine he will just be going through the motions. Sad to see happen from such a promising individual.  ]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=114">VietVet</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 4948<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> Dec&nbsp;19&nbsp;2012 at 12:15pm<br /><br />Naw, Michael Eldridge Presta is no candidate and not what this city needs. He questions city hall while providing researched work to support his claims. He finds fault with council's decisions, doesn't own a rubber stamp, thinks Leslie Eugene Landen interprets the law based on the special of the day, is leery of some of the real estate transactions made by the city, thinks Marty Kohler has his own agenda in city planning, is not a supporter of the inner circle of elite citizens with a hidden agenda, tends to see through the smokescreens that roll out of the city building at times, doesn't like the non-accurate historic lighting at taxpayer expense for those S. Main St. friends of the city, thinks our mayor, the honorable Lawrence Mulligan the Third of the S. Main St. Mulligans, spews nonsense at times, thinks some of the downtown real estate transactions to support the phenomenal(in Larry's own words)  successful downtown growth so far have not been what has been claimed, has way too much common sense, questions things when questions not need be asked (council), and is not "in tune" with what we are trying to achieve here (as if anyone really knows what we are trying to achieve here). He is a thorn in the side of those with a secret agenda, those with absolutely no common sense and those who don't care what they do to the city as long as they strip off what they want. We have a good Ward 1 rep in Mort. She is doing what she is told and representing the inner circle with great dedication.<br /><br />Pac, Vivian, Nick Kidd and the Spider would be valued members of council.....and all, certainly better than what we have now. If we don't change it, the city will die, given the current direction. It is already on life-support due to the incompetent leadership of the past and the current lack of talent.  ]]>
