Why The City of Middletown Tax Levy MUST FAIL!

Don’t believe me???

They have the 0.25% right now!!!  How did they balance the 2012 budget???

They cut PUBLIC SAFETY!!!

What more proof do you need???

It is a fore gone conclusion that if this levy passes, they will have to cut firefighters or increase the levy in the 2nd or 3rd yrs if they are gven the grant of approxiametly $1M.  Once the $1M is spent who is going to pick up the bill?

Question for Crazycatcher:

2600 voters from a city of 48,000 people. Very frustrating to see. Wondering how many of the 2600 represented the friends of city hall? AJ and the gang must be giddy with delight as old AJ works toward his days after council and his longing to work side by side with his union buddies with the job he hopes to get in return for his union support.

Now, we can sit back and see what transpires in two years when the grant money runs out and they start the layoffs again. Will the average Middletonian even notice? Will they care?

Apparently, it didn't matter to people in this town when they lied to us on the first levy and laid people off despite the promise of no layoffs. The levy supporters must admire the art of lying and deceit.

The wrath is not directed toward the police, medics and firefighters as much as it is on the city leaders and council and their deceit and lies with regard to telling the truth from day one about the money intentions for this levy.

As long as the majority of people lay on the couch, watching reality TV, and don't bother to vote against the wishes of the people who would ruin this town, the bad guys will get their way. If you keep giving them money, they will continue to run the same game on the people. Sad to see. How in the hell do you combat apathy? How bad does it have to get before the apathetic people take notice?
