On the Nov. 5 ballot, there will be a question asking voters if
the city should borrow up to $5 million for acquisition and preservation of
farmland and open spaces. This could
preserve hundreds of acres.
Vote ‘YES’ on Question # 1
· To help preserve the scenic and rural character of our city.
· To help protect wildlife habitat and the health of Middletown 's environment.
· To help save the city money.
Residential development actually costs much more in city services than
it generates in taxes.
· To help preserve working farms and local agricultural
products and jobs. Over 4,000 acres of Middletown farmland have
been lost in the past.
·
To help provide outdoor recreational
opportunities for Middletown
residents.

I will vote "No". Not because I object to the notion of open space, but because I don't think it's responsible to give someone a $5 million pot of money with no idea how it will be spent. We should have learned our lesson with the $33 million parks pot o' gold.
Wouldn't that be better spent on Schools?
