Sad. Another blind city shill. Dance for the city leaders mom. Be their court jester. All kingdoms need the town fool who believes what they are told without offering one shred of independent thinking. To hell with history or facts. Just keep supporting one failure after another. There are no limits as to what you will accept from them as to support.

How sure are you that what happened to Analytical did not occur? Were you there? Do you know the detailed history of what transpired? Sounds to me like the man was thrown under the bus by the Gilleland administration because he wanted to do his job correctly and didn't buy the Gilleland doctrine of dishonesty. I have a real problem with that kind of management. Educated scum with no scruples nor morals.

And hey, middiemom, how long have you been here? Makes a difference you know.If you were here in the 70's, you would have seen what some here, including me, have seen as to the beginning destruction of a once great city. If you came in the 70's, 80's and 90's, then you came when the destruction was in full bloom. If you were here in the prosperous times, you can't help but get angry at what you see now. There is no way that I can support all who inhabited city hall from the late 70's to current. When a group of city leaders want to change to the correct focus, change to the correct direction and change the way they do business in developing this city, I will begin to support them. Until then, as long as it remains "business as usual" with the "my way or the highway"/secretive undertow agenda here, I can't support what you now take as gospel. Normally, I'd say open your eyes, see the light, understand what is really going on in this city, but, in your case, you are too gullible to approach in that fashion. Keep swallowing the agenda. Keep believing in the incompetence middiemom. Carry on. The city needs the few followers it has. The rest of us know better. ]]> Wed, 19 Apr 2017 12:59:40 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48125&title=city-employee-bloggers#48125 City Employee Bloggers : The source for the information... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48124&title=city-employee-bloggers#48124 Author: Middletown29

The source for the information on city employee bloggers and the law director is from someone in a position to know if this is happening. If Mr Adkins says it ain't so then maybe my source is wrong. However, my source has no reason or motivation to knowingly put out false information about this topic.]]> Wed, 19 Apr 2017 07:27:57 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48124&title=city-employee-bloggers#48124 City Employee Bloggers : J.D.

J.D. Vance, author of "Hillbilly Elegy," was one of several featured speakers at a Public Affairs Symposium recently held here at Missouri State University.  Having spent four plus years of my life in Middletown made his presentation even more meaningful.  For my detractors, I still care about what does and doesn't happen in the city.  Good government, solid planning and fiscal management can bring some badly needed vitality back to the people.]]> Tue, 18 Apr 2017 21:09:27 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48123&title=city-employee-bloggers#48123 City Employee Bloggers : sorry to leave middiemom off the... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48122&title=city-employee-bloggers#48122 Author: spiderjohn

sorry to leave middiemom off the list with middletown29 and middielover(all related?) as the cyberbully trolls and core negativity of musa

fake news = Journal-News, DMI, MMF and evidently Middletown29/middielover.

Mr.A is our only way out of a LONG history of Admin incompetence, lying and corruption.Give him a shot, Vet---where are all of the other local "Po\liticians who stopped
75% of our problems were created there--0% by musa

JD Vance nailed it--to many are too proud and too
blind to see it. Not to mention their jealousy.]]> Tue, 18 Apr 2017 20:28:25 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48122&title=city-employee-bloggers#48122 City Employee Bloggers : EXAMPLE... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48121&title=city-employee-bloggers#48121 Author: Analytical

                                                EXAMPLE NUMBER ONE FOR MIDDIEMOM

Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program:

According to (Skip B.), my staff person responsible for this program, close to $400,000 in non-performing repayable loans were written off in 2003 or 2004 by John Lyons and Marty Kohler.  Furthermore, in late 2006 just before my arrival, another $250,000 in non-performing repayable loans were written off by Skip B. and Pam Banks of the Finance Department.  Sad to say, none of these HUD-funded loans were "properly serviced" by city staff.

Note:  After my arrival and the receipt of information shared with me by Skip B., loan servicing procedures were established.  No longer were delinquent homeowners allowed to fall more than 90 days behind on their loan payments without legal remedy.  In too many cases participating homeowners had not made monthly payments for several years.

Doug Adkins had nothing to do with this corrective action of mine!  There are more examples of waste and poor management of HUD funds by city staff to follow.

Skeptical is laughable. You cross your arms and stomp your foot down every time the city proposes anything. Talk about "hook, line and sinker.

MUSA= VERY FAKE NEWS



Actually, much of what has been posted here has been supported by actual research from folks like Vivian Moon, Mike Presta and Analytical to name a few.

This site is much more objective and believable than the Journal has been for the last two decades. The Journal as it is now, is nothing more than a mouthpiece shill for the city propaganda. It only reports one way and is hardly objective in it's stories.

Don't be a fool by believing ALL that you hear from the city leaders. It has been documented many times as to their concealment and their deceitful information.

You appear to be a "hook. line and sinker" type of person. Skeptical is a tad bit safer. ]]> Tue, 18 Apr 2017 15:47:58 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48118&title=city-employee-bloggers#48118 City Employee Bloggers : swohio75......spiderjohn:"Vet... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48117&title=city-employee-bloggers#48117 Author: VietVet

swohio75......spiderjohn:

"Vet you've constantly complained about communication and the lack of transparency. Be thankful that Adkins is here trying to communicate with citizens where they are willing to engage. It's one thing to disagree (which I do--especially with the decision to sell all of Weatherwax) and another to appreciate someone's willingness to hear your concerns and attempt to to address them."


"C'mon Vet".....

Ok gentlemen, if you would care to look back through some of the conversations I have had with Mr. Adkins, there are times when I have praised and thanked the man for his honesty and willingness to participate on the forum. Believe it or not, I am capable of offering some positive posts (when praise is due), even involving a city official from time to time. It has not, as you are alluding to, been all negative in my responses. Hell, I even thanked Marcia Andrew at times when she was board president posting about her schools back in the day. I'm certainly not going to agree with them 100% of the time as some would expect.

Don't go kinder/gentler (indicates weakness IMO) on me toward approaching people, nor politically correct responding to my posts. I'm not buying this modern day crap we call pc. It's as phony as a three dollar bill and has literally ruined this country since it was the popular thing to do. ]]> Tue, 18 Apr 2017 15:38:40 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48117&title=city-employee-bloggers#48117 City Employee Bloggers : Thank you for clearing the air,... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6453&PID=48116&title=city-employee-bloggers#48116 Author: middiemom
