A former city department head continues to have extraordinary clout given the actions of the two most recent city managers and the blessings of city council. Just think of the generous taxpayers financial subsidies and land give-away's for "downtown" exploits of his over the past number of years! His handiwork is on the $300,000 bailout of the what little is left of the former Rose Furniture Building. The same holds true for for the long-lingering Goetz Tower deal. And, then, consider the $300,000+ city sweetheart deal involving the former city-owned Woodworking Shop (Vail Ave.) plus 1300 block of Central Ave. vacant land. Out of nowhere, faster than a speeding bullet, the demolition of the Strand-Studio city-owned building became the city's highest priority requiring immediate action. As taxpayers, I ask you to consider the most recent post of swohio 75 which sums up the sad state of governance involving Doug Adkins, Kyle Fooks and a former city department head.
Middletown taxpayers shouldn't be at all surprised if the soon-to-be cleared Strand/Studio Theater property is conveyed to Liberty Spirits LLC via another $1.00 city sweetheart transaction. If this scenario hold true, the city will have "donated" $485,000 more for this demolition thereby furthering the Liberty Spirits LLC proposed Phase II redevelopment of the 1300 block of Central Avenue.
It does pay to have friends in "High Places". Who needs equity partners (silent or not) when One Donham Abbey doles out taxpayers funds so freely? |

I don't believe that you're going to get Ed involved on this.
If Ed pisses off Adkins and his ilk - forget Ed's job. He needs them to be friendly with him so he can report the news. The only way that he'll report on this is if we get enough stink raised about it that it is brought up before council - that it is somehow in the news or worthy of reporting in another way. Ed will report things - and he'll even quote people who disagree (he'd done it several times with me) but he's a reporter - not an investigative reporter. Anyone know a good investigative reporter? Or perhaps a letter to the editor of a paper no one in this city reads? We don't have a good outlet for this stuff - except here. Thanks to Beagle and his staff!

The principal focus of this topic is the absence of prudent city management actions and the surreptitious last minute manner in which the Vickers Wrecking resolution was presented for city council approval after the fact.

The assessment of Mr Richter is spot on.
The Journal News for some reason lives in fear of Mr Adkins. Shameful isn't it? This is a free press? Here's some real fake news! The solution?? Ignore them. Hand this matter to Channel 9"s investigative reporter Cheatam. He will have a field day. Have you seen where Adkins' refusal of an agreed upon interview is recently being used to advertise 9's sharp reporting?

Getting fired by the city involves refusing to go along with this kind of nonsense, not doing it. The search will be for any workers responsible for this information coming to public attention. As I was told at a mandatory city training session,"Ethical conflicts are only in your mind, you just need to focus on getting your paycheck".
