Does anyone know when MMF meets? Aren't they supposed to meet in public after giving public notice? Does someone keep minutes of their meetings?

If you go to their website, it doesn't mention meetings, nor meeting times. It does give a list of who are members. (This is from 2008)

Middletown Moving Forward CIC is a non-profit public/
private organization charged with directing the city’s
economic development priorities. The organization
was founded in 2005 as a partnership of the City and
The Chamber of Commerce and includes representation
from the community’s two largest employers, AK Steel
and Atrium Medical Center.

At best, if they met, the meeting minutes aren't going to reveal anything of incrimination. It will be all business notes that will be irrelevant to the "behind the curtain themes" that are not openly revealed by this group. Have never seen any meeting notes, nor heard of anyone outside this group attending. There are planning meetings, park board meetings, airport meetings, etc. but I don't recall having a public economic development meeting which would coincide with this group's purpose.

IMO, it isn't what is represented on this site that is the threat. This site just mentions a gameplan to build Middletown. It is the disturbing agenda that is not mentioned on this site that has people concerned. It is a plan to control who gets elected to various key positions of authority, how they are funded, how to answer questions when approached and holding on to power for the purpose of controlling the direction of the town without input from the majority of the citizens. That's a small group of people controlling the town and that's a problem.

You should ask Ms. Gilleland, Mr. Mulligan, Mr. Picard or Ms. Mort.  They should all know.
