AJ Smith = Fool

Busted for stealing from Duke energy. Good luck with that 15%, although the south main st. crowd would most likely sign it twice.

He probably won't get reelected because Middletown has done away with the ward system.

All candidates are at-large.

That kid is heading down the wrong path. He had so much promise for his democrat party. Now he is an embarrassment.

According to a family member of mine who had AJ in some of his classes when he was in high school, he didn't have much promise to start with.

This represents our city poorly. Granted, not as bad as Laura Williams or the lady who got arrested running around in a cow costume, but a black eye nonetheless.

I wonder if Mayor Mulligan will address this at the next council meeting and again ask for AJ to resign. I notice that the meeting wont' be held at Sunset where National Night Out is going on this evening, but I don't think that's been done in several years. Laura Williams probably ruined that idea with her behavior several years ago berating a citizen making a comment (that oddly didn't make it onto TVM).

We all are at fault for not getting are ducks in a row and kicking his A$$ to the curb the first time he acted like a little punk.I hope and pray that Duke presses charges against him and he gets to go visit Bubba.

Mr.Smith we all know that you troll around on here so again do everyone a favor and give up your seat.You IMO are nothing but a punk that thinks cos you have the title council person can do anything you damn well please.Wake the hell up "PUNK" you are nothing but a leach.You bring more negative to this beat up town then anyone.

I know AJ very well. He also worked for me. Was excused from employment do to his lack of respect of authority. No surprise there! He is a punk and needs to go. He also been seen in associating with a known drug dealer. This from a very reliable source. He has also been seen getting fast food and stating it was to go, than sat down in the establishment and are all to avoid paying $0.13 tax.

Eye??? Go outside in broad daylight with a gun??? Give a break. There are loud sounds out side all day long no matter where you live!! Heres a thought....maybe AJ is rehearsing for an audition for a remake of Blazing Saddles!!!! He is a disgrace to this community!!! We already have too many black-eyes to try tp overcome! He needs to go and be with his drug dealing buddies!

Tudor, Im not saying havinbg a gun is an issue. Running outside in broad daylight with a gun because you hear a noise is! Its Obvious he was on his toes for a reason!

AJ acquired the house from a family member

Hey I am a strong supporter of concealed carry laws, and the only reason I haven't gotten my Ohio permit (I've been a past holder of both Florida and Pennsylvania permits) is that the times I am outside of my house generally I am doing something or going somewhere that doesn't allow concealed carrying.

But here's the problem - he was NOT CONCEALING the weapon. Running out of your house gun drawn at a noise is not a smart tactic. There are better ways to check out a noise without automatically escalating by coming out with gun in hand (which by the way is NOT concealed carry but open carry).

Also, one doesn't have to have a CCW permit to have a firearm in their home. But bringing it outside and brandishing it can be construed as inciting panic, or so I was told by a very nice officer a few years ago when they responded to my apartment building because a neighbor who didn't know me saw me showing my newly purchased shotgun to another neighbor on the porch as I got home from purchasing it and called the police.

And who exactly would that be?

Yes, Ms. McNeil has been on the board for a long time--1996 or 1997.  Not before then however.  She ran for Judy Thorn's open seat when Judy opted not to run for re-election.
