	The downtown effort is solely council members and city leaders using tax money to protect their property values. The school system isn't any better. It isn't about having a need for new school buildings, its about using the building of schools to 1) keep the focus off the school performance and use the mantra, a new building is coming, so then we'll get better and 2) to say that with them, they won't lose more enrollment. If I calculate about 150 that run Middletown, while the other 48, 850 are asleep at the wheel, .3 % of 1% of Middletown's population, controls its tax purse and vision. Truly astonishing. In time, perhaps in 10 years, Marty Kohler will get his wish, Middletown's population will be down to 29,000.
