Candidate Statement: Fred Carroll - Common Council

Hi, I'm Fred Carroll and I'm soliciting your attention to consider me when you vote on Tuesday, November 8^th. I'm seeking a seat on Middletown Common Council on the Realistic Balance Party, a recently created third party line.

You may or may not remember me from "Bums with Brooms," The Homeless Report (WESU 88.1 fm radio station from 2006 to 2008), but I dare say that I might very well be Middletown's resident expert on homelessness and as such, represent a significant portion of the Middletown community.

Here is a quick review of my six campaign points and thank you for you consideration.

1- Create Designated Loitering Zones (DLZs), an area designed to be both bum-welcoming and at the same time bum-proofing, the hope of minimizing the negative environmental impact of Middletown's ever growing loitering class.

2- Brooms and chess sets everywhere especially at the DLZs

3- Free water

4- Don't sell any more parking lots for a dollar

5- Put spittoons everywhere

6- One more liquor store where the soup kitchen currently is, to decrease pedestrian traffic at the corner of Liberty Street and Main Street.
