| Just wondering how busy Sunset and Douglass Pools would have been during the last two weeks. Of course, something that would be of benefit to the entire community wouldn't be of any real interest to our city leaders, would it? |

Tony B, Well, the City just didn't have the $50,000 available to keep a swimming pool open to benefit the entire city. Of course, I'll bet you a shiny new dime that City staff will find $50,000+ available "tucked away in one of our other funds" to pay for historically INaccurate, decorative, phony sidewalk lamps in the S. Main Street historic district. And they'll find the $5,000 extra every year (and more as "utility costs necessarily skyrocket") to pay for electicity usage and maintenance on those lights. ------------- “Mulligan said he ... doesn’t believe they necessarily make the return on investment necessary to keep funding them.” …The Middletown Journal, January 30, 2012 |

Tony B, 2 Extremely Hot Weeks in the last 3-4 yrs does not make a success of a pool.

All Shucks now guys we have the splash Pads.Another fine example of the "Spineless Ones" saying we just dont have the money.I no I'm 100% against the "Purty Lamps" that only a few want.Was talking to someone that is renting a home on Main Street and they told me that If it SO happens that the "Mulligan Klan" get there way the home owner was passing half off to them.Does these people(Mulligans and Owner) have no heart?Dont they understand (No they dont care) people are holding on by a thread?

As a matter of fact they did Bo. The whole community was invited to S. Main St and the city manager's house on Antrim Court. Didn't you get the invite to cool off at the Mulligans lavish home and rub elbows with the S. Main St. crowd? (The invite mentioned the overflow of the " hooligan/riff-raff" (their words) having an invite to the Kohler estate-just don't touch anything/know your place mister) Wine and cheese served to those deemed friends of the city and the arts........"Jim Jones" simulated Kool-Aid and leftovers for the rest of us. Only problem was they couldn't guarantee our safety while there as the bushes and trees blocked the lighting.  To counteract this problem, roving police officers were doubled for protection as per the S. Main St. request....at taxpayer expense of course. The cooling centers were all coordinated by Landen through emergency legislation and his own special interpretation of the law, with one decenting vote and two abstaining after the original idea was shot down.  The Mulligans and Kohlers were re-imbursed through a hidden slush fund tucked away for "special occasions".

 Guess that was a dumb question why would I even think for a minute that any one of them could pull their head out of their arse long enough to even think of such a thing .

| Again thanks to Pac for laying it out real simple. Cooling centers? Folks you either call or showup to the podium and bitch. Otherwise your dreaming about help from this leadership, sorry lack of. |
