Time for all MUSA associates to turn in their forms for consideration for the many committee positions that are available now. Apply for the Golf Commission, the Landmarks/Historic Commission ( I can see you there Mike  ) and many other opportunities. Watch as council accepts your submission form and then quickly appoint one of their friends instead. How 'bout ya Hermes and Randy Jane? It's our opportunity to interface with the high rollers.

| Vet, you're pretty good at asking other people to work for you -- find info, dig up city dirt, scour the council workbook. Poor Presta, Vivian, Nelson, swohio75, hermes,pac, jag123, and many others are expected to play investigative reporter while you simply do the spouting off. Yes, we know you have commitments at home, unfortunately, but can't you contribute something a little more useful than an endless parade of questions mixed in with outrage? |

That is pretty harsh. I think we all know here that Vet shows up when he can. Family always comes first.

Neil - Your statement is completely and totally out of line. If we had more concerned citizens like Vet the crooks at city hall might all be out of a job and rightly so. Many of us that post here have other obligations that do not allow us to participate 100% of the time. ------------- No more democrats no more republicans,vote Constitution Party !! |

Neil, I dont know you or at least I dont think I do. I do on the other hand know Vet. How many council meetings have you spoken at or attended at all? How many of those council formus that were going on this past November did you show up for and ask questions at? I know how many Vet has been too. I think you are way out of line here. As stated above FAMILY FIRST !!!!! ALWAYS ------------- Call me for a www.CameraSecurityNow.com" rel="nofollow - www.CameraSecurityNow.com quote 513-422-1907 x357 |

| I know how hard it can be to work in city administration. There are a lot of pressures and variables -- we don't always know how projects or plans will turn out. And there are competing agendas within the building that are constantly at play. You folks, and Vet being one of the worst, are great at playing "Monday Morning Quarterback" with your 20/20 hindsight. |

I have went back and read some of your past post all 12 of them, and you have never brought any ideas to the table as to how fix the issues we are faced with. So instead of bashing someone that has giving some ideas and taken time out of his day to day life to show up at meetings and stand before council to speak. Lets hear your big idea for fixing this mess....? ------------- Call me for a www.CameraSecurityNow.com" rel="nofollow - www.CameraSecurityNow.com quote 513-422-1907 x357 |

Randy don't waste your breathe on good old Neil he was a major part of the problem that got Middletown into the mess it is in now.
Just from his quote above, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what is going to happen to a city when you overwhelm it with Section 8 and Poverty, now does it Neil.

IF it's really him. My sleuth-like nature has found that's not how he spells his name...... But yeah, i do wish at times people would do a little homework before spouting off. Not pointing the finger at any one in particular. Just saying in general. |

Hmmm....a little skeptical Neil Barille would be posting under his name. Neil, surely there is plently of activity in Ashville than wasting time hammering Mike Presta and defending the failures of city hall? Good lord, what would Judy say, after leaving her post at Miami in the MBA school, sitting down near The Biltmore Mansion and the nice stone lodge with a fireplace as long as a par 3, both of you would never be looking back to Middletown. I mean, you sold your $239,000 listed house for $200,000, and that poor soul can't unload it today for $150.000!
Geez, drive on over to Winston-Salem or Murphy, breath some air, and hit the links and spa. Most remember you for almost burning city hall down and grabbing a quick double dip in Hamilton before Judy retired from Miami.

Neil- Ask Pac, Mike, Spider, Vivian and others if I have asked them to do any of the leg work for me. As a matter of fact, I have posted on more than one occasion, how I appreciated their skills at researching the data they do. Quite frankly, I do not possess the computer skills they have and could not accomplish what they do as to finding information and bringing it to our attention.
Normally, if one states they have a problem with me, I ask them to meet me somewhere for a discussion. However, tonight, I am mellow, quite appreciative with the Lord and at peace as my wife survived yet another seizure last night. Was with her until midnight in the ER. She's been my best friend for over 38 years now. Have the report if you doubt this. Where should I send a copy for proof? Gee Neil,I am outraged! I am tired of the city leaders trashing what was once a very nice town to live in...my hometown. I could just say the hell with it, abandon this forum and swallow all the crap they dish out on a daily basis, but I "ain't built that way". You may not like how I voice my disatisfaction, but I still care and want only the best for this town. Can't fault me for that, can you? Sorry you're disappointed with my approach. Don't sign on here with the thought of how I can piss Neil off today. Guess the old saying- you can please some people some the time, some people all of the time.....you know the rest. Now, have a good weekend sir and carry on your support of the city leaders if you wish, but if you do, I believe you are on the wrong side if you care at all for this town. |

First, I don't mind doing whatever I might be asked to do, within reason, as long as I am asked nicely.
Second, I am perfectly capable of turning people down (and/or OFF) for myself. I certainly don't need your help in doing so.
Third, I am not "poor" in that sense of the word. I am as rich in spirit as the most properous crook in the city is rich financially!!!
And folks, this may be the real "Neal Barille". As I recall, the real Neal Barille was not smart enough to spell his own name correctly twice in a row. Heck, he wasn't smart enough to be the spell checker at an M&M factory!!! After all, look at the path he started our fair city down with Section 8 and the constant parade of taxpayer-funded quaint olde tyme downe towne Middletowne failures. ------------- “Mulligan said he ... doesn’t believe they necessarily make the return on investment necessary to keep funding them.” …The Middletown Journal, January 30, 2012 |
