Every week another idea to make Middletown better. 

One small (or large) effort at a time will make a difference.

2000+ you are not suppose to think about Education, Poverty, Section 8, Unemployment, Average Income, Infrastructure, as according to City Council most of those issues don't exist as problems in Middletown., at least not the ones Forbes talked about.  Council likes to live in denial along with the BOE, unfortunately.  At the rate City Council is working on the Section 8 issue  you'll have to wait well past 20012 [sic] for any results around Middletown.  While Middletown does need a huge face lift, it is of little value unless you tackle the bigger issues which ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

That has nothing to do with the fact that unless you tackle the underlying serious problems of Poverty, Education, low average income, jobs, etc., you can paint a City until your hearts content and it won't improve the situation.  Mort wants Forbes to come in Next year for what, nothing they are doing has a thing to do with what the Forbes article was about.

OK Spider. This is your cue. You jumped me in an earlier post about being negative about things and suggesting that I stay home from the meeting at MUM the other day and that I "take my gripes" to Council. You also jumped me about criticizing the Mort/Ashworth program on painting when I said that the program doesn't attack the real problems of the city- only surface fluff. These two posts said the same thing in essence. How do you react to their thoughts? Will you be consistent with your criticism on negativity or will you make exceptions, depending on who posts? You're up next.

Spider I have no Problem with Beautifying Middletown it needs it and it is a positive step, but for Mort to think this is what Forbes is referring to in their article it isn't.  I got a chuckle when I saw that she wanted to include the I-75 redo on her list.

Come spring the street sweeper will need to work around the clock to clean up all the trash and leaves that line the streets and have now filled the storm sewers.

Just came frpm the "Pride" thing and all I got out of it was that Mort and Company are expecting pretty much all the on-going projects and organizations and old folks to come together and do pretty much what all the on-going projects and organizations and old folks are already doing now. The obvious.... is that the "Pride" project will then claim the success of all the on-going projects and organizations and old folks as theirs.
