I don't want dog parks, bike paths, skating rinks. Drew talked about high property taxes, esp for seniors , when he lied his way into office. I know someone who really needs the senior break. Guess what "discount" she got? $50!!! And now taxes are going up hundreds...AGAIN. Voters, remember to VOTE OUT THE DEMOCRATIC COMMON COUNCIL. They have overspent since the democrats have been a majority. Run the city as we run our homes- ON A VERY VERY CAREFUL BUDGET.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239070883775529047.post-19109339330716465122012-04-03T08:24:07.157-04:002012-04-03T08:24:07.157-04:00Perhaps Wesleyan students would be willing to foot...Perhaps Wesleyan students would be willing to foot the bill?

The issue with the China trip was the way it was conducted, illegally and unethical with an agenda that was rescinded in record time that would make Carl Lewis blush.<br /><br />Remember if a person is sitting high atop the DEM food chain (Lisa, Bob, and others. People from the media?) why would they rock the boat? If somebody does- they are given the proverbial axe. (Zimmitti, Kleckskowski, Filer, Tomassi) Note: Anne Tomassi was the Dem Reg of Voters and was replaced because she failed to get involved with the Santangelos and Drew with regard to their insane St. Sebastiano's moderator issue. Ironically enough, Lisa Santangelo is now being paid with money and benefits to do Anne's role. Anne was the portrait of honesty and ethical, can the same be said about Lisa? Please...<br /><br />If a Dem gets in trouble with law ala Jim O'Rourke or Tom Gaffney it's all about due process and not what's about right..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239070883775529047.post-74399941754956884702012-03-31T03:54:50.426-04:002012-03-31T03:54:50.426-04:00I think the operative phrase here is "Well, t...I think the operative phrase here is "Well, that's Middletown"! They apparently feel that this is a "perc" or "entitlement" of the "job". If he's spending money like a proverbial drunken sailor this soon I hate to think what the poor taxpayers of Middletown can expect down the road. Meanwhile, you know that this is going to be touted as the "Best $ 5,000.00 ever spent "for the future of business in Middletown""Fred Carrollnoreply@blogger.com
