The school board and city council have done more to destroy Middletown residential property values from 2000 to the present opinion than any previous council or school board. Add to that insult is the pathetic ratings just in the immediate area between Middletown and its peer schools. The roads by the city council are a disgrace, and they have the nerve to declare an emergency on a levy for a new building? How calavier.

Meet Joe Black---

School Board and city council. Pass it and Middletown is dead even faster than its current path.

 You are so right....we are now in the express lane to ...................?
 Several days ago in the Journal we read the glowing article about all the improvements at Butler County Metro Housing.
 It is my opinion that the Section 8 Program and all those big buck $$$$$$$$$ are getting ready to be transferred to Butler County Metro Housing. Isn't this the very thing that Mr Doug assured City Council he would not let happen?
 I believe the contract between City Hall and Nelson and Assoc is due to be renewed on March 21, 2014
 Why isn't the approval of this contract on the agenda this week?
 What will City Hall do without all those millions of dollars from the HUD Section 8 Program?

Well that's a good question, Viv. I think there's more to this story than the people or council is being told. Could the fact that Judy and Doug are both in a hurry to leave the city of Middletown behind them have any thing to do with it? I'd almost bet my bottom dollar it does! JMO

Perhaps I am mistaken but I believe I read Middletown only netted about $140,000 for Section 8 annually.

Middletown's problems far exceed the Section 8 management issue.

I have heard from insiders Doug Adkins will absolutely be named city manager.

Why is the Atrium providing a bus for the trip to Greenville SC.

Well, Acclaro I do hope you're wrong. When we get the rest of the story we may be surprised at the truth.

I guess Judy was, as usual, was trying to stack the deck for picking the new city manger but council did not pick the person she wanted to help make the selection. They chose someone else. Who are the committee people they chose to help with the selection? I guess Josh Laubaugh is one of the committee ,who are the others?
