Updated 11:27 PM Thursday, January 21, 2010
MIDDLETOWN — Police have arrested a man they believe to be responsible for shots fired at students after they departed from a school bus Thursday afternoon, Jan. 21. William Michael Maloney, 54, was arrested following the shooting in a 2nd Ward neighborhood shortly after 3 p.m., WKRC Local 12 reported late Thursday night. Maloney faces a number of charges, including inducing panic, felonious assault, improper discharge of a firearm and endangering children, according to Local 12. Police said they responded to the scene at 3:30 p.m. Dispatchers received a report of a man in a pickup truck firing a gun near children getting off the school bus, according to police. A woman at the scene said her son and best friend’s daughter burst into their home on Ogden Drive after getting off the school bus screaming that a man had shot at them. “We were standing in the kitchen when they said some man shot at us so we went to the front window and looked out and the man saw us and pointed the gun at us and fired at us, too,” she said.

Not a bad idea Pacman,has anyone ever brought the section 8 issue to the media ? Maybe the media might be interested in some of the goings on concerning the section 8 capital of Ohio.
 Or does anyone in the media do investagative journalism anymore ?

Good luck getting any meaningful investigative reporting from the Middletown Journal!!
I provided Ed Richter and Kevin Aldridge volumes of information on the HUD mess in 2008 and 2009. Despite promises made to me at a meeting at Pisanello's Pizza on 1/26/2009, not one word was ever printed.
I'm still waiting for the EXPOSE that was promised. I distinctly remember Mr. Richter telling Mr. Aldridge that I was railroaded out of my job with the City of MIddletown.
Go figure??

Pacman - Thats kind of spooky me and you thinking alike  (Well just this once is alright I guess)
Nelson - If a media report was done it would have to be from some source other than the Journal. The Journal can't be trusted to report on anything. Look at how often they close the comment section on their website. They want to hear from the public about as much as council does.

The Journal is slowly going away and this Middletown USA site is taking it's place. The Journal provides the news that protects the city leaders including Council and the School Board, providing the public with only half the story. The public gets the other half by tuning in to this site. Hopefully, between the two, the people of Middletown can make up their own minds as to how much from each is believable. Need more folks aware and involved in this site to really be effective and to neutralize the city leader propaganda spewed through the Journal. How do we get more people to "tune in"? Advertise this site in the Journal????

| Write a "Letters To The Editor" listing all of the events including revenue for the city, the city's use of the revenue, the overabundant voucher situation, the CONSOC partnership, the negatives for the city due to this program, the potential conflict between the council members Section 8 property ownership and being administrators of the same program for financial gain, the juggling of personel within the city building on this, possible reasons why city leaders want the overabundance and the image destruction done because of this program.(IE- All of Nelson's info.) See if the Journal prints it and send copies to Channels 2,5,7,9,12,19,22,and 45 to see if they are interested in coming to town to investigate. Should be interesting to see the reactions, if any. |

Viet Vet, Pacman, Hermes, Miss Vivian, Mike, Wasteful, Randy, Tom Rapp, Etc.
Let's continue our efforts to put an immediate end to ARROGANT and INDIFFERENT municipal government in Middletown. Senior City staff and some members of the City Council must learn the meaning of transparency and accountability in governing.
