I hope you're right on this. Nothing would please me more than the see the city manager's little kingdom self-destruct. Starts with a little internal bickering which leads to some discontent and taking sides. Soon, we have two camps and a split in the cohesiveness. One side wins and the losers start leaving for other "opportunities". Let's hope the losers include Gilleland. ]]> Sun, 03 Nov 2013 18:41:11 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5527&PID=40170&title=downtown-was-actully-busy#40170 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5527&PID=40169&title=downtown-was-actully-busy#40169 Author: VietVet

ktf, nothing would please alot of us more than to see the young population of this city become more involved. Unfortunately, in the past, when we have had community meetings, no one showed up representing the 30-40 something generation. Just the same 10 or so each time- older long timers. Apparently, the young folks are not interested in the way the town is being run enough to break away from their position on the couch each evening watching the tube. We need more of the Josh Laubach generation to be involved WITH THE CORRECT FOCUS, not the same old nonsense we're receiving now. Won't do any good to have younger versions of the older ones in place now.

I remember those from my generation, in the 60's, saying "don't trust anyone over 30" when I was in my teens. What you said didn't shock. A form of younger wanting to purge the older has repeated itself over time. Personally, I don't care what the age.....just change what isn't working now in this city.......and that's just about any topic we could discuss. All I know is that this city is WAYYYYY overdue for a purge of current leadership.]]> Sun, 03 Nov 2013 18:27:48 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5527&PID=40169&title=downtown-was-actully-busy#40169 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5527&PID=40168&title=downtown-was-actully-busy#40168 Author: Perplexed

Can it be said that Queen Judiy is paranoid about losing her position to someone who has yet even higher ambitions?  Or, is Doogie secretly in search of becoming Middletown's top dog?  Go figure.  Many have remarked about their mutual penchant for power plus their displays of egotism.  Never forget Doogie's statement at City Council, "Give me the power and I'll get things done."  In the case of both, they've already bestowed years of misguided policies, plans and expenditures of city funds.  If they remain in their positions too much longer, Forbes Magazine will be writing a follow-up story on Middletown.  If they do, it won't be complimentary.]]> Sun, 03 Nov 2013 13:43:46 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5527&PID=40168&title=downtown-was-actully-busy#40168 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5527&PID=40165&title=downtown-was-actully-busy#40165 Author: over the hill

Kt,
   Your post is insulting  to us over 50. Many of us have been fighting for the people of Middletown long before you even got involved and know more about what is going on and the corruption than you do. We are still waiting to see what the contribution of your generation is going to be. We have tried to recruit your generation to help for years and even now the apathy is pathetic. You are offensive.

Queen Judith always gets what she wants. It is amazing how the town has changed since she and her court jesters have taken over.

well ktf1179 your point is well taken BUT...... the powers that be are ecstatic with those results. That's exactly what they want, they don't want to appeal to the masses, that want a select few to enjoy "their" downtown.
