PETITION TO ABOLISH THE POSITION OF THE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR/SPOKESPERSON OF THE MIDDLETOWN BOROUGH
Final supporters
We the undersigned citizens of Middletown Borough are presenting this Petition to Borough Council asking for them to abolish the position of the Communications Director/Spokesperson within the Borough. There are several reasons for this request: there are no other townships, borough or cities within a close proximity that have this position, this position was abolished when our Communications Center was closed, there are talks of potential rate increases in Middletown’s utilities in order for Middletown to meet the operating costs, over half of the Boroughs work force has been laid off. This position is not needed as in other towns and cities this is either done by the Borough Manager, the Secretary or the town’s Mayor. This position is a $50,000 a year position with use of a Borough vehicle and cell phone. The abolishment of this position would help ease some of the financial strain that the Borough currently is trying to repair.

Seeing this level of support helps push back the exhaustion of these past few weeks. It is clear that I am not the only one who sees this waste of resources as a burden we can no longer carry.

save our struggling borough by eliminating a position others can do more efficiently!
he needs to go and that money can be used to help the Borough get back to the community so much of us love! He has no communication skills nor does he even do the job he is suppose to do!
This Communications Director is also tasked with updating and keeping current the borough website, another example of his communication duties not being fulfilled. For example, contact information for past employees is still included on the website, email addresses for certain members are not assigned (to be clear only those who refuse to yield to McNamara), activities as old as 2 years are still listed as events or news. He should probably use less time creeping and screen shotting pics from my face book page and work on that lack luster web site.
I feel as if this position is a waste of tax dollars. Dollars that can be spent more prudently elsewhere.
This position has needed to go for some time now. I'm not sure of the purpose of a Communications Director who doesn't live in our community and drives a borough vehicle to and from his home on the West Shore. That is a waste of tax payers money.

get rid of him he doesn't have Middletown's best interests in his head. He's a puppy that follows the leader. And the leader is a jack ass who needs kicked out too.

Position should be abolished and he should not be allowed to push someone else out of a job.
