Not many were there, you were one I expected to see. Did get some information which made the inner workings if Milton a bit more clear. I still have questions though.

Just returned from tonights council meeting, also ate dinner. I was surprised that the first meeting after the election didn't have the presence of several faces I fully expected to see.

I have been in touch with the American Legion State office. If Jimmy Smith was not given the same opportunity as TC to display his election signs and such then they are in violation ART II Section 2 "The American Legion shall be absolutely non-political and shall not be used for the dissemination of partisan principles nor for the promotion of any person seeking office or in preferment." I have more questions and will be talking with the State office again soon. I just went to the post and took pictures to show where the truck is parked in relation to the Legion. Is there any way to post pictures on the blog? It has also come to my attention that the were giving away "free" hot dogs.

I heard there was a parting of the ways right after the first letter was written and that the second letter was coming. Don't know what caused the change. I have heard nothing as well about expanding the city limits. I would need more information to take a position.

For those of you who have not voted yet PLEASE take the time to read the Voice of the people section on page 7a in the Herald-Dispatch. There are really 2 articles one posted in the Herald-Dispatch on May 2 and then the one published today. Within this short period of time this person went from thninking TC was the right man for the job to a complete turn around. Sure would like to know why the change.

As you know, I don't live in the city limits, so I can't vote in the city elections. However, it has been interesting to note the campaign signs OUTSIDE city limits. There is a Canterbury sign out Mud River Road and also signs as you leave Cabell Midland H.S. Guess they are trying to attract the Lincoln Co. voters and 18-yr.-olds. Just curious...there has been talk of annexation of outlying areas. Does anyone know if either of the mayoral candidates want to extend the city boundaries?

I know that TC and the polyp are worried, you can tell be the increase of signs around town he and the polyp have put up. Jimmy is giving him a run for his money. Bob and I are going to do whatever we can to help Jimmy get elected. There is someone else who needs to be voted off the council who I will talk about soon. This person took money for a job he took but never did. These people have profited from their positions on the council. Are they the kind of people you want taking care of our town? I sure don't.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

Susan Maslowski — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:34:15 GMT

I'm convinced, few people care about the municipal election. It will be interesting to see what the turnout will be.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

Jimmy Smith passed out flyers giving the public a synopsis of who he is and what he would do for Milton. Many of his goals are things that Milton has needed for along time and were promised by TC and his polyp CC. His character speaks a trustworthy testimony to what he will accomplish as Mayor. Streets and sidewalks were one but to my knowledge the only one done was the doctor on rt60 who got her's done because she was going out of town. Sewer and water departments will be up to date and inspected and all repairs made. Jimmy is a man of integrity, honesty, dedication, commitment and above all personal conviction. A man with so many accomplishments and achievements will not fail you. He will in my opinion make a Mayor that Milton can be proud of.

I was told that the mayor and two other people were in my neighborhood yesterday evening campaigning. I'm crushed they didn't stop at my house.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

shortstuff — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 23:46:45 GMT

When I came home this morning the signs were still gone. I wonder if it was because they were too close to city hall or lack of support?

RE: Municipal Election 2013

shortstuff — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:30:59 GMT

Are the signs now on the Cummings property? What about the ones across the street from City Hall? It seems that Jimmy Smith is giving TC a run for his money.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

HPDCapt — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:10:38 GMT

As of this afternoon, the signs at the house next to city hall are gone. They seem to have moved across the street.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

shortstuff — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:19:35 GMT

Has anyone else noticed that TC and CC's sign is gone from the house across the street from City Hall? I wonder what happened to it this time? The house next door from City Hall has signs, thought Mrs. Green sold it to the city. This election Eli White won't have to sit by Mrs. Green in church and tell her how badly her candidate treats his wife and claim to have acess to "sealed court documents". You need to watch when you lie on someone it just might come back to bite you in the butt.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

I don't know if it is or not but will try to find out. I have some more interesting news but want to research it a little more.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

HPDCapt — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 00:17:42 GMT

The description of some of the candidates was interesting. I agree, people should be interested in the election. I drove past city hall today. If I remember correctly the house next door belongs to the city. I saw a mayoral canpaign sign in the yard of this house. I'm not an expert but I think thats not legal. Thoughts?

I thought there would be more interest in the election. People who were voted out last time are trying to get re-elected . If we didn't want you then we don't want you now. We have an excellent opponent and a wonderful chance to get TC out of office.......JIMMIE SMITH. If they had not changed the meet the candidates date and time more people would have had a chance to talk with them. Would lke to know what Charlie Conard will do if TC isn't elected. Come on people you can't be that complacent. The town needs some life to it, get involved, show you care.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

shortstuff — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 00:00:04 GMT

Well, it's election time again and I'm back again. Lots of choices this time around. There are the 2 usual joined at the hip TC and his buddy Charlie Conard, the ever flamboyant councilman Wisman, Cecil Taylor trying to get back on the council, the I got your back man, Carl Harsbarger, the new guy Cremeans and the ever hopeful Frank Mullins. The best choice for mayor in my opinion is Jimmie Smith. Born and raised here, owns businesses here and if anyone cares about Milton it's him. Jimmie has more business experience in his little finger than TC has in his whole hand.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

Susan Maslowski — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:58:47 GMT

After posting that, I noticed some signs about town. Frank Mullins is running again and the man named Tony Cremeans whom you mentioned appear to be the only new candidates. The rest have been on council before.

RE: Municipal Election 2013

HPDCapt — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:59:10 GMT

I can't answer the first part of your question. There was an article in the paper a few weeks ago about who was running. Tom Canterbury and Jimmy Smith are running for mayor. Phyllis Smith is running for recorder, no mention of Mike Adams. I think all the current council members were running as well as Cecil Taylor, ? Legg, Tony Cremeans, and thats all I can remember. Hope this helps.

Could have been an employee threat, or a potential employee threat - I hear one of the HR ladies there has openly discriminated against several people based on age and other things.

Made it back to Mayberrys/Aunt Bs today for lunch. We both had the bbq sandwich and it was worth the wait. They also had cupcakes and cookies, I bought all the snickerdoodles. A little bit of a drive but it was worth it.

RE: John Bledsoe

John was w/the Milton PD in the late 80s and 90s...I think. He also ran for mayor unsuccessfully a few years ago, although he did serve a few terms on council.

RE: John Bledsoe

The name didn't ring a bell. The picture in the Disgrace was familiar. He and I crossed paths sometime in the past. RIP Sir.

I have an update on Aunt Bs. They will be closing their current location at Christmas. Don't worry, they have bought Mayberrys just up the road in the plaza where the Ace Hardware store is located. We had lunch there yesterday and the owners said BBQ will be back in a few weeks. Cupcakes will be back as will cookies, pies, and brownies. They also plan other changes in the menu. Too bad they aren't here in Milton but still close enough to enjoy.

I was out earlier today and saw numerous vehicles at Village Inn. There was a sign by the road that said there was a sale of some sort. The sun made it very difficult to read. I am guessing that the owner was selling off the fixtures.

RE: City Website

Several months ago I tried the "new" city website with no success. It has been under construction for quite a while by the city storm water guy. Maybe someday.

City Website

Susan Maslowski — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:05:29 GMT

I think the city website should be removed. It has been "under construction" for years and the information is outdated. It lists council members John Bledsoe, Gary Holbert, Bob Legg and Cecil Taylor and none are council members. In fact, one is deceased. I would think it would be better to have no website, than to have this one.
