	4. Ordinance No O2015-07, an ordinance determining to proceed with submitting the question of a tax levy renewal for the benefit of the Middletown Public Library and declaring an emergency. I believe the voters need to read the minutes of the last two Library Board Meeting to clearly understand where this levy will be used and what for..

	$75,000 goal to raise these funds to PASS levy! Surreal. How much are they paying to have the special May election? 'Avoiding Sunshine laws for Board members' sitting on election committee. It just isn't worth owning property in Butler Cty. HOUSE FOR SALE. Whatever happened to MMF's 75 Kk.

	According to an mmfer of whom I asked, he thought that mmf still had the $ I asked why then did they need it want it? He said that he honestly didn't know When the $ was first gifted, I overheard a conversation with the head(at that time) of mmf He said "they offered it to us, so we took it", laughing. Now they say that they need a LOT more? A-mazing imo

	Acclaro & Spider Do you remember the article in the newspaper that stated MMF had paid for the big trip to N.C for the Economic Development Department and others? I believe this trip was paid for from the $75,000 pot. More money needed?....Are they telling us that they need another paid vacation on the taxpayers dime? Dougie better get frugal in a hurry because we are going broke...

	I do now, rather, you had mentioned it. So the city gave MMF 75,000 to pay for the boondoggle trip to learn Greenville needed about 50 Mm to develop their downtown, and an opportunity to review the plans to hire DA. And to think the school board uses 12,000 in savings as a basis for keeping Sup Ison on board to reward him for the levy and the thrill of passing out 100 Mm. Can't wait for the "re-imagine" tactics to have an impact..
