Analytical wrote: Liberty Spirits LLC The owners (Mike Robinette, etc.) have now remitted past due plus first half Butler County property taxes for both 1316 Vail Avenue and 1357-61 Central Avenue.  Perhaps, recent MUSA blog posts provided some impetus for the resolution of this past delinquency? The appraised values for the above properties is a bit interesting.  For 1316 Central Avenue, the vacant/unimproved building is $69,120 with adjoining land at $61,080 for a total of $130,200.  For 1357-61 Central Avenue, the improved building (distillery) is $25,660 and land at $25,000 for a total of $50,660.  Would anyone know why there's this differential for an improved/operating and an unimproved/vacant buildings?

Nelson never fails to prove my point. Twelve replies on this thread and nine are from him. Check the other threads, same thing. I could go on a three week hiatus and come back to three new threads created by you with them dominated by your posts. Have you tried stamp collecting, yoga or something like that? It has to be way more relaxing than this. You really need a new hobby.

Ok middiemom, let's try a different, non-combative approach to this.

Some questions for you. I am interested in your responses.

1. What do you like about this city government as to how they operate this city? What would you like to see changed as to their direction for this city?

2. Do you think council is doing a good job and on target as to their decisions with each council meeting? Do you think they have any shortcomings and if so, what are they?

3. Are you willing to accept some of the posts on this forum as actual facts and if not, why not? Is it what Nelson and others offer as data or the way we present it?

4. In your responses to most of the information posted here, you seem to attack the individual posting rather than the content of the post. We all have been criticized by the pro-city participants and have been accused of being negative toward the city but we rarely see any information along with the criticism to show we were wrong. Tell us why we shouldn't be so negative and why the city is not as bad as we think it is. Would you be willing to offer your side of the opinion in your posts as well? Tell the anti-city posters where they are wrong in their assessment of the city operation. It would help us understand why you always take the city's side in these discussions.

Thank you in advance for any response you wish to provide.

Come on—-we hardly need repetition of how everyone thinks.
We need new inclusive constructive thinking
Most agree that a lot of bad choices have been made and it is time to learn from them and move on.

Middiemom, m29 etc are absolutely entitled to think however they choose also.
Would be interesting to all sit down face to face to share NEW thinking—meeting someone usually softens the tone and creates a better level of understanding + common ground. For some reason this concept seems foreign locally, though it seems to work everywhere else

Useless as it is, I offer this for no other reason than that my silence could be taken for approval.

IF I could, I'd like to interject something here....
