When I have seen Ms. Bronston in action, she seems a bit outspoken. Tells them what is on her mind. Likes her NAACP organization. I would imagine she will be a champion for the south side community even though all council people are suppose to be "at-large", covering the entire city. Doesn't matter though. When the dust clears and we go to 5 councilmembers covering the entire city, the real focus for all will still be the downtown that will get all the attention. All other areas of town will still play second fiddle as to priorities.

Ms. Bronston doesn't strike me as a person who will always play ball with the MMM and P group on council. I hope Mr. Laubach and Ms. Scott-Jones join her in combating the strangleholds produced by the Mulligans, Mort and Picard. I would certainly vote for her before I would give MMM and P the time of day. They are bad for this city and so are their puppeteers. ]]> Wed, 28 Aug 2013 12:18:59 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5394&PID=39444&title=please-run-for-city-council#39444 Please Run For City Council : Well she is a definite Democrat.One... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5394&PID=39442&title=please-run-for-city-council#39442 Author: ktf1179

Well she is a definite Democrat. One would hopes she is going to follow the lead of Christopher Smitherman on Cincinnati City Council. He is probably the only budget hawk on the Cincinnati City Council. As of now I am leaning towards a no vote for her but I need to know more about her platform when it comes to the city. Is she another Downtown Arts Lover, or will she look out for the rest of Middletown. At this point I am willing to put in anyone who is not a Downtown Arts lover.

     Tuesday, August 27th, 2013 the Board of elections posted the final nominees for City Council. They were the
three incumbents: Joshua Laubach, Ann Mort and Dan Picard. The only new candidate is Dora Bronson.
      There are only two available positions for at large candidates.  As of January 1st the city of Middletown will only have
five council members. It is unlikely that the city will get fair  representation since the ward system will also be gone.
       Since we can only vote for two candidates I urge you to vote for Josh Laubach and Dan Picard. If there was a third position of these candidates I would vote for Ann Mort.
       The fact that no one new became a serious candidate says something about our city. How do you see it?
       Good luck to the candidates and God bless the city of Middletown.

Well, change of events here. Sunday Journal story.....

EXCLUSIVE: Council’s youngest member to step down

MIDDLETOWN — The youngest member ever to be elected to City Council — and one who had a tumultuous beginning to his tenure — will step down Tuesday in order to take a new job in Columbus.
It is no secret that Councilman A.J. Smith had many trials and tribulations early on in his term on City Council. In a time where many 20-somethings are figuring out what to do with their lives, Smith knew. As a 20-year-old, he sought and handily won in 2009 the Second Ward seat on City Council. He was the youngest ever to be elected to the board.

WHO WILL FINISH OUT SMITH'S TERM ON COUNCIL? WILL IT BE AN MMF SPONSORED PERSON OR WILL THEY PLACE BRONSTON IN THERE TO GIVE HER A HEADSTART SHOULD SHE WIN NEXT ELECTION?

Smith, who owns his own political consulting firm, ASJ & Associates, has taken on a client that he said requires him to relocate to Columbus

MUST BE A HECK OF A CLIENT ACCOUNT TO COMPLETELY RELOCATE. HAVEN'T HEARD TOO MUCH ABOUT ASJ & ASSOCIATES. WONDER HOW MANY CLIENTS AJ HAS ACCUMULATED SINCE IT'S INCEPTION.

I LIKE THIS FROM OLD LESLIE LANDEN.....

But as Smith leaves the dais for Columbus, he said he wishes to remind his colleagues on council, and future council members, something that Law Director Les Landen said during an executive session involving city employees: “You should be hard on the issues and soft on the people.”

CLASSIC. PERHAPS LES SHOULD HAVE SAID "SECRETIVE ON THE ISSUES AND IGNORE THE PEOPLE". MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE.

HHG you sound like you have all that is needed to run for council, I'm sure that as a family man and doing the work that you do, would know how to run a budget more so then what we have now! Talk to Paul Naggy, Mike Presta they both could fill you in on whats needed to get started if nothing else you would be getting your name out there for the next run at it.
