The new edition of It's Your Town newsletter has been published and ready for reading and covers what happened during the Middletown Township NJ monthly Committee meeting of June 20th, 2011.
besides there being a presentation of the Township Solar Project by Birdsall Engineering and a public hearing on theTownship's ADA compliance plan,the newsletter tells about the very large crowd of concerned citizens that attended the meeting to express concerns about the Methadone Clinic that opened on Rt. 35 at Apple Farm Rd.
As reported here and at other websites the meeting was overflowing with residents from the the Applebrook and TwinBrook neighborhood that are effected by the methadone clinic being so close to their homes. At times the meeting became very loud boisterous and contentious. Residents found it hard to believe that they were being told the true about the clinic and the process that enabled it to open at the current location.
You can read all about it HERE in the newsletter.
As an added bonus for your listening pleasure I have an audio clip from that night that features resident Patricia E. Corridon, who spoke to the committee about the opening of the Middletown Methadone clinic. She said she did not feel a great deal of trust in the Committee who were elected to protect their citizens. She said everything from a broken toenail to a cell tower is aired in Middletown. She said it is hard to believe when they say they knew nothing about this and were blindsided. She said for them to say they will be protected but then turn Apple Farm Rd. into a police state is not what is wanted. She said the Committee does not have the pleasure of plausible deniability.
Ms. Corridon was interrupted midway through her comments by Tony Fiore who sounded arrogant, exasperated and helpless in the wake of all the criticism being leveled against himself and others who's job it was to know about this before the clinic opened at the only entrance into or out of a residential neighborhood

4:34 on the audio the mayor says "you have no idea what transpires behind closed doors.."
Yes and that's how the TC likes it or they would televise their meetings.
When I listen to your audios, I'm always struck by how much more impressive the citizens of Middletown are in comparison to our elected officials. And the disdain for the public is palpable in the tone of the Mayor's voice.
At the library board meeting when Settembrino and cohorts were trying to coerce funds from the library,the mayor stated "You don't know what we know". How could we because they,the administration,are never honest with the people they are elected to represent. NEVER,NEVER,NRVER.....not any one of them !
As transparent as a concrete wall... just what are they hiding......time to find out !
Yep, the mayor is singing "country western songs now". How about governing instead of making excuses about the outrageous,incompetent conduct of the elected officials in this town. Next thing we know they will be wearing "six guns".
WOW, who would have guessed that Fiore sang "Country Western" songs?
Was he in tune or did he fall flat? My guess is that he was worbbly and a bit pitchy.
