Oh, Vet, you're right I should know better than to question the motives of "the powers that be". I temporarily lost my head. I'll fall in line wth the rest of the minions.

over the hill and perplexed......you know, you guys haven't listened to ch and Factguy at all. They have said repeatedly that we, on this forum, need to be upbeat and positive and need to see only the good things this city and their leaders are offering toward their vision for the city.

Your comments could be construed as trending toward the negative as to Mr. Adkins situation pertaining to the city manager slot, his residency and his choice to send the kids to CS, a fine on-line course college by the way. Please don't expect much after that though.

ch is happy with the bulldozers knocking the old high school down and is excited as he dreams about his new middle school. Ms. Andrew is, no doubt, there to console him if he strays. He hears band music on a continual basis and knows that town prosperity is right around the corner with his new schools. Factguy is pleased with the direction of the city and supports 99 and 44/100ths percent of the city leadership direction and decisions......just a happy twosome, full of giddy delight at life and consuming the Donham/School Board elixir on a continual basis.

Don't burst their colorful bubble for the future by speaking harshly about their heroes running this city and the schools. We need to keep them happy and focused.

Will the new Community Revitalization Director have an interesting past work history in the High Risk/Sub-Prime home mortgage industry? No telling how many of THOSE MORTGAGES ultimately ended up in foreclosure?]]> Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:53:16 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=43016&title=new-city-manager#43016 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=43015&title=new-city-manager#43015 Author: Perplexed

Naturally, Doug will send his college-bound children to Cincinnati State - Middletown?]]> Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:49:43 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=43015&title=new-city-manager#43015 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=43014&title=new-city-manager#43014 Author: over the hill

What salary do they pay him? City mangers salary? His salary hasn't been negotiated yet by contract. I think that's the hold up. Do they pay "revitalization" wages? Or does he want both? Haven't heard the the new "revitalization" director being sworn in either. But the citizens are only on a "need to know" basis and we don't need to know.]]> Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:04:33 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=43014&title=new-city-manager#43014 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=43013&title=new-city-manager#43013 Author: over the hill

The paper says we can expect council to authorize the contract for the city manager at the next council meeting. Has Doug finally decided to sign the contract? How do you become city manager without signing the contract? Is that like getting the cart before the horse.]]> Thu, 12 Jun 2014 11:22:29 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=43013&title=new-city-manager#43013 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=42816&title=new-city-manager#42816 Author: over the hill

Has anybody seen Dougie around town looking for new residential property to buy? I guess he'll need to sign the contract first. I guess he want job security so he can pay for a few more college tuitions. I don't think they asked me in my last job how many kids I have or what my bills were. I think they said here's the job,here's the salary take it or leave it.]]> Sat, 31 May 2014 15:41:19 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=42816&title=new-city-manager#42816 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=42810&title=new-city-manager#42810 Author: bumper

chmoore1, do you notice when you push them to be open minded, look at the positive, quit bashing and slandering anyone trying to do good things in Middletown, they indicate we are intolerant. How does that work. And, there are no voucher minutes posted, no helpful ideas about improving Middletown, and after slandering every public official, including Marcia Andrew by calling her "that woman", they talk about how mild mannered they are, tolerant of ideas, and have all the solutions to adopt. This site has driven nearly 1000 residents out of the cit because of negativity.

Rhodes: I'm chmoore---not middiesmom, factguy, or smartman. No other identities. So, buzz off. If I want to spar with VV that's between me and him. Why single me out when I've been called delusional, kool=aid drinker, and without a valued opinion because I'm retired. Factguy: keep up the good work---they must be scared of you because they're trying to run you off, like they do with everyone else with a "positive" viewpoint. Like it or not, Rhodes, this time I AM just 1chmoore.]]> Sat, 31 May 2014 01:55:36 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5741&PID=42807&title=new-city-manager#42807
