In 1986 or 1987, the city of Middletown took a vote to the public (which was aprroved) by voters to allow for what was intended to be a short term fix to budegt problems, the movement of dedicated funds out of the required ordinance and law for $$$ allocated and set aside for infratstructure, to be used in the general fund. Hence, the city of Middletown could use the funds anyway they desired.
Unfortunately, when the voters did that, the city went wild; they spend the money that should have been used for roads and infrastrure, and used it wastefully elsewhere. Since that period on or about 1987, the city nor council made any attempt to reverse this short term fix passed by voters intended only to be short term (avoid cutting city employees) in 1987, and thus, the outcome of the miserable roads that are cracked and ruined which the city doesn't care about.
The latest benefactor of this disgraceful and terribly harmful action to property owners was The Atrium, which received about $5Mm in funds for roads, to pay for ther land. To date, no effort has been made by council, by citizens, and by city hall to reverse the ordinnace, and put back in place, the requirement maintain roads and infrastructure. As a consequence, they aren't and won't be.

Can someone explain the jist of what happened to the infrastructure funds in Middletown? Was an ordinance passed to allow the funds to be moved to the General Fund and why and what is the ordinance?
My question comes from this part of a post under another topic.
"Roads- why not take this acrimony and start with a plan of action, like getting the ordinance of waste that began the nightmare in Middletown, where infrastructure funds could be given to McNeil and Perry Thatcher?"
