Great Video From The City - Merry Xmas

Wonder what it cost the city to do that video ? Whoever done the editing was it done on city time ? Is this something else the tax payer is footing the bill for ?

 

While the city has no money for repairs and upkeep of the cemetery and streets but they can run around and make video's ?? Yeah,doing a fantastic job there city leaders and spread that christmas cheer while you rape us of our money in our sleep. What time is the next train to Dayton ?

Eleven- another city employee that Gilleland told to register and start pestering the participants on this site perhaps???? Won't work. At best, all you will achieve by your participation, with your current stance of practicing "participant interruptus" is frustrating yourself. Be a good little city worker/city building supporter, go back to your cubicle and forget about this site. Don't be a "Fool For The City"- (Que Foghat song)

Or does Middletown already have its own Clown College at 1 Donham Plz?

Bill,

From the Journal on 12/20.2010....."Gilleland said with the help of TV Middletown, several run-throughs of the song were recorded during the afternoon of Dec. 6. The video — which cost no tax dollars to produce — was then edited by the TV Middletown crew and presented at the city holiday lunch Dec. 10". Wait a minute........"which cost no tax dollars to produce"....how many people were in the video? By Gilleland's statement, this was done on the 6th of Dec, which is a Monday and a workday at the city building, right? How much was Landen paid for the pantomime at his desk? How much for Gilleland sitting in that ambulance for a couple of hours? How much for Jackie Phillips in the health department to sit behind that desk during this afternoon session? How much for the line of people in the chorus part of the song? How much did the taxpayer pay for Betsy Parr to wear the sunglasses and participate in the afternoon hours needed to produce this sketch? Seems to me when you add up a couple of hours per participant, and the salary they were being paid on that workday to pantomime this, you can't say that no tax dollars were used to produce this, right? And they used TV Middletown to come in and set up in each area which took some time to do AND presented it at the taxpayer funded Dec. 10th holiday luncheon. Might be a little too critical here, but dam, just don't try to say it didn't cost anything to do, Gilleland. Of course it did. Quit the bs.

“We created the video to lift the spirits of employees and it is good to be able to spread the cheer throughout the city,” Gilleland said.

Are the "spirits" of your employees in the toilet there at the city building, Ms. Gilleland? A little depressed perhaps? Please don't try to "spread the cheer throughout the city" I think most of us have had about all the "cheer" we can stand for one year from the city. No need to make any more "effort" on your part. Feeling about as good as we can about our city right now, thank you.
