Reading through the council meeting notes from July 2nd on the promotion of Amy Schenck for Clerk of Council, replacing Betsy Parr.

She is now being paid $2086.84 BIWEEKLY for this position. Wow, 4 grand a month for secretarial work. A tad bit high for this position perhaps? The public sector does pay well at times, doesn't it. ]]> Mon, 22 Jul 2013 12:09:33 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5307&PID=38732&title=if-city-council-approves-the-appointment#38732 If City Council approves the appointment : Josh Laubach is a joke on... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5307&PID=38652&title=if-city-council-approves-the-appointment#38652 Author: Murdock

Josh Laubach is a joke on city council!  He's lost most of the time, appears to have no idea what in the hell is going on and makes very little sense!
 
If he's not a big enough man to stand up to the Mulligans, Mort, Picard and people like Becker, then why in the heck would we send him back?!?!?! 
 
Stop the us versus them mentality and elect true leadership with a vision for the future! A good start would be to elect people who will get rid of that ineffective, overpayed City Manager!!!

Please, someone, run for council with the PEOPLE's best interests in mind!


JOSH LAUBACH RAN WITH THE PEOPLE'S BEST INTEREST IN MIND. I BELIEVE HE STILL HAS IT BUT HAS BEEN SUBDUED BY THE COUNCILMEMBERS AROUND HIM THAT ARE MMF PUPPET PEOPLE DOING THE BIDDING OF THE SMALL FACTION PULLING THE STRINGS. I WOULD IMAGINE JOSH IS VERY FRUSTRATED. HAD GOOD INTENTIONS BUT THE MULLIGANS, MORT, PICARD AND PEOPLE LIKE BECKER ARE TOO MUCH TO OVERCOME. GOTTA HAVE LAUBACH STAY, SCOTT-JONES SHOW SHE IS ON THE PEOPLE'S SIDE ALL THE TIME, NOT OCCASIONALLY, AND FILL AT LEAST TWO OTHER COUNCIL POSITIONS WITH CANDIDATES WHO CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND ARE STRONG ENOUGH NOT TO BE INFLUENCED NOR BULLIED BY THE MMF PEOPLE. HARD ROAD TO SHIFT THE BALANCE ON COUNCIL TO THE PEOPLE'S SIDE. ARE THERE TWO PEOPLE IN MIDDLETOWN THAT DEMONSTRATE THEY WON'T TAKE CRAP FROM THE CONTROLLING FACTION? TOO BAD MIKE P AND THE SPIDER AREN'T AVAILABLE. WOULD MAKE A GREAT TANDEM TO COMPLIMENT LAUBACH AND PERSUADE SCOTT-JONES PERHAPS. WOULD GREATLY HELP THE CITY IF LAWRENCE MULLIGAN, PICARD AND MORT WERE GONE. THEY, THE CITY MANAGER AND CERTAIN MEMBERS OF HER STAFF ARE A CANCER TO THIS CITY. JURY STILL OUT ON JOE MULLIGAN. STILL NEED TO SEE HIM DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN AGREEING WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE. ]]> Thu, 13 Jun 2013 06:12:04 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5307&PID=38260&title=if-city-council-approves-the-appointment#38260 If City Council approves the appointment : Murdock wrote: Time for... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5307&PID=38259&title=if-city-council-approves-the-appointment#38259 Author: Richard Saunders

Spider:

"If the public chooses to overwhelmingly elect two brothers to our City Council, then what is the issue?"

FOR ME, THE ISSUE IS ONE OF FRUSTRATION WITH THE VOTERS (OR, MORESO, LACK OF INTEREST BY POTENTIAL VOTERS IN THIS TOWN), THAT HAS SOLIDIFIED THE HOLD THIS SMALL GROUP HAS ON THE CITY. WE ARE PAYING THE PRICE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE ARE NON-PARTICIPANTS. WITH A VERY SMALL POPULATION OF THIS TOWN REGISTERED, MUCH LESS VOTING, THOSE LIKE ME, WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CHANGE IN THE ENDLESS CYCLE OF INNER CIRCLE CANDIDATES AS WINNERS, ARE IN A NO-WIN SITUATION. WE NEED NUMBERS AT THE POLL TO OVERCOME THE INNER CIRCLE SUPPORTERS AND NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL. DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS THE MULLIGANS, MORT, PICARD, BECKER OR ANY OTHER LACKY FOR THE MMF'ERS, IT IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NO OTHER RECOURSE BUT TO TAKE WHAT THEY DISH OUT. NO ONE DIFFERENT TO CHOOSE FROM TO BREAK THE DARK SIDE CYCLE....THAT HAS A CHANCE OF WINNING THAT IS. WE ARE STUCK WITH RUBBER STAMP PUPPETS DISGUISED AS COUNCILMEMBERS. WILL THERE EVER BE A TIME WHEN COUNCIL WILL TURN IN FAVOR OF THE PEOPLE, OR ARE WE DOOMED AS WE ARE LEAD BY INCOMPETENT CANDIDATES EACH ELECTION FROM THIS INNER CIRCLE GROUP? ]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:26:16 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5307&PID=38251&title=if-city-council-approves-the-appointment#38251 If City Council approves the appointment : ??If the public chooses to... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5307&PID=38250&title=if-city-council-approves-the-appointment#38250 Author: spiderjohn

I don't care for the situation, and neither do many others.
However Joe was elected cleanly and seems to be serving fairly and well.
I see him as an excellent Councilmember, however when we go to 5 members next year, any issue causing abstension by both brothers(or any two Councilmembers) cannot be passed by emergency legislation(I don't believe).

Joe mulligan was allowed to run for council while his brother is mayor. No neopotisum there ,cause he was "elected"?
