Vindictive City

Vindictive City
     Want to see how vindictive your City can be? Well all ya need to do is take a drive through the Middletown Cemetery.
    The City went into the Middletown Cemetery last week and removed the majority of the plants and shrubs that I had plant within the past 5 years.
    Thousands of dollars in plants were destroyed just to get back at me and my petty little law suite. None of these plants were paid for by the City.
    However they didn’t have time to take care of the real problems at the cemetery. Hmmm must have been too tired after they destroyed all my plants. 


    

That sucks :(

Vivian- can you have your lawyer add the cost of the plants and your hourly labor charge to the current lawsuit or is this not allowed after a lawsuit has been filed? Are you planning to write a letter to the editor to show the citizens how childish their city leaders are? How about confronting the Council at the next meeting to record it on TV Middletown and to see Lawrence Mulligan Jr. say to us, once again- "we are not prepared to.......well, you all know the drill. Anything to embarass them perhaps?

Mike- this does go against the Annie Mort PRIDE group doctrine of beautifying the city. We have Mort's Maternal Manicurists trying to plant those bushes and flowers and we have Gilleland's Floral Raiders digging them up. I'm confused Is we or ain't we tryin' to make our welfare city all spiffy, gussied and purdied up to show them Forbes folks we ain't dying 'cause we got flowers in them pots?    I thought the intention was to be the best looking poor destitute slum city in the country? Shed some light on this perplexin' dilemma, Mike!

I am so so SO GLAD I am leaving this hateful CITY...  I will be leaving to go home to DIE.  In all my 60 years I never saw such a hateful town. Our so called city counsel is the biggest joke I have ever seen, they should think before they speak and do the job they were sworn in to do and not benefit themself as they are doing. I have meet alot of nice people here but mostly a bunch of crooks. I am going to spend my last few days in peace.                                                                      Thomas Rapp

Take care Mr.Rapp.

warmandfuzzy - I can say for a fact that I saw city workers working over at the cemetary last week. 

Vivian, you are correct about the city being vindictive. That, along with under performing schools, horrible streets, red light cameras, not maintaining our parks, being business unfriendly, being the fastest dying city in the country with a population under 100,000, large number of section 8 housing and the highest taxes of the cities competing for local jobs, are a few of the reasons for the downfall and non-recovery of our city. With this image and reputation, Middletown will NOT recover from the economic problems when everyone else begin to improve. Anyone working for the city that use their position to punish or intimidate citizens, should be removed immediately. If money was spent as it should be (for street repair, separating the combined sewers, maintaining parks & pools, and etc.) there would not be money to pay the over-payed, under-performing people that have destroyed our city. Middletown was going down hill for years before the economy tanked for everyone else, and will still be declining for years after everyone else has recovered, if we the citizens don't demand better out of the city building. Every house in Middletown could be pristine and we will NOT attract business until we address the basic  problems of poor image and reputations, poor schools, poor streets, business unfriendly, out of control bureaucrats, large number of section 8 housing and high taxes.

Vivian>> will you please call me
