$2 BILLION DOLLAR ENTERTAINMENT VENUE

I, for one, am quite impressed with our Mayor after watching the Thursday meeting.

I watched the Thursday edition of the Council----thought that the budget portion was informative, interesting and well-handled by everyone(jmo). Citizen comments were pretty much a replay of two weeks prior, with exception of a few interesting familiar local personalities.

This council… I thought the Williams, Schiavone, Marconi era was tragic. But oh my god! That Thursday night meeting was amateur hour. Is this the best we can do? Council members not inquiring with the ethics committee until they were caught. One that STILL hasn’t consulted but promises to? This deal sounds like a bait and switch to me. Why does a council member or two appear to be so furious that questions are being asked? Something is rotten in suburbia! Welcome to the clown show! 🤡

A physician said, the vaccine (cash) came before the pandemic, man made, to yield Bb for opiate settlement, to restructure mobile workers, write code in WVa or Vt, than California, and to consolidate government control. Mega Bb companies, once broken apart. Internet today, Spectrum or ATT.

This is more police, fire, needing new bldings and jail. The Bitler Cty plane, watching your hand pick up a dime. Its the police, jail, not the entertainment mecca. Covid worked. All that excess money given to states, down. Mayor has this figured out, not sure about others.

I don't profess to know about the feasibility of this project...certainly lifers here have reason to be a little cynical about pie-in-the-sky plans.  But three points come to mind -- 

lol—translation?

One last thought:
Is this being emergencied in order to get it passed before the Council election?
Vitori’s yes vote will be gone…..maybe Mulligan the way the public is reacting.
The other candidates are wild cards so far.

The next 10 days should be interesting as rumors and info fly around!

What has happened to Middletown and this forum? Taxes for roads, big plans, coming back, why? JD Vance writing a book that the movie failed but gained fame more for explaining the Trump win. Challenging right, bleach right, having an ambassador drug through Benghazi with 4 or 5 rangers former seals and Rangers help? Pretty elementary, they disdained Hillary.

The project. This is Kings Island in audacious, fictitious numbers. Traffic coming through Monroe, utilization of numbers withing proximity. What about Fraze? Enormous venues for concerts, including MUM. Hotels? For what? Hlywoodland, the metaphor for Ron Howard and HE or similar. Productions? Streaming. This has to be a comic in disguise of fiction.

Seems someone wants to control politically Mn to Florida, get rid of Admins now Jones playing same tune, there might be a clnflict in civil matted, nuts. Showtime and diversion. The redistricting politics is CIA dangerous.the project, politics, not money.

Raccine is upscale, many commute from there to Chicago to work. This is a ridiculous concept. Firing Admins and having Triple Moon cannabolize by HWL. But Adkins was placed, not fired. Wheres the Finance Mgr they havent placed in 6 months? Power brokers over from Trenton in public sector pulling these moves. Maybe UD who owns the Dayton Marriott will place one in The city for HWL.

Amzing the hypocricy and hyperbole that came from JD Vance. He described angry white guys and even admitted the correlation with Trump was non existent, it was Hillary C was so bad.

Now we have passed high
h tax, paved roads, painted grey city, cancelled football games, shots football players? And have Elvis ergo Las Vegas moving in. The mayor was the rock star on display. Questions, not buying into the dream big of a minor turnaround thanks to Cliffs to Marimac Island now Middletown. Redistricting did this, and a Mn to Florida political lobbyist dream.

FWIW - there's at least 4 people in this city who know all the ins and outs of this sort of thing - they just weren't asked or included.

I don’t know of any locals that could pull this off, and the entity engaged with the city has no record of doing it either. Your hat being my main concern. Seems we usually get burned when we go that way(Manchester—Goetz/Rose).

City has worked on this somewhat quietly for 10 months and just sprung it on the public as a 3-week emergency??

As mentioned prior, there would need to be studies about impact in that area and infrastructure to support the project. Also the labor and materials issue to get it done. Will take a long while and probably cost considerably more. Probably fits with the Oaklawn project if we can afford both…..will Garfįeld/Baltimore area be leveled?

Seems a stretch, however I have no skin in the game and don’t really know if the project is a good idea or what…..
Can’t fault the city for shooting high and reaching for a breakthrough. As a lifer, the city seems somewhat quiet these days with very limited dining/entertainment options.

Puts Joe Mulligan in the hot seat after 3 generations of Mulligan comments at the meeting and an upcoming Council election. I still think that this should be a key Council election issue where candidates take a stand and the public decides on Election Day….

Otherwise probably time for me to shut up and watch…..

Was this a serious comment or were you speaking tongue-in-cheek?

Where do I start?
