One thing that struck me as odd was turning the old hospital land into an Upscale Senior Citizens living Center.  Folks we need to build housing to attract a younger Upper income TAX PAYING CITIZEN.  If everything is Section 8 and for Seniors who is going to support the city.  Now I am getting up their in age and I realize that the baby boomers are coming, but we must think of the future of the City 20-30 years from now.

Good job, Pacman!
Isn't it ironic that the "Freeze Step Increases" for the lower level City employees made #1 on the "Top Five" list in the meetings you linked, but friends of MMF brought up a PAY RAISE for City Council Members as one of the very first items for consideration by the Charter Review Committtee!!!  It sure seems to be handy to be in cahoots!!

Hey Mike we have to pay council members for that extra Housing authority meeting they insist on having each month by keeping Section 8.LOL

I wonder which "F of MMF" (Friend of Moving Middletown Forward) owns Section 8 Housing and insisted that they go with the HIGHEST bidder???
