Give a gold star to Middletown School Board for its budget persistence. Middletown Area School Board, which has taken some serious heat in recent months from taxpayers over a proposed 5.68 percent tax increase, deserves some credit for bringing that rate down to 1.6 percent and for making some excruciating decisions along the way to do it. First, let’s do the numbers. 11 million in federal stimulus funding. 324,000 in state funding. 500,000 to increased health insurance premiums. No doubt about it, this ...

We love to complain about our elected officials, but when it comes down to it, many of us, it seems, don’t care enough to leave our homes to vote. 8220;It’s slow very slow, and we don’t like ‘very slow,’ ” said Vince Varankar, the judge of elections at the Middletown Fire Department’s fire hall on Tuesday afternoon. Did these critics vote? So, do voters not care? Don’t they know what is at stake? We’ll never know, but we can guess.

This and that, now and then, from T.W. Burger. There Is No App For That. August 31, 2014. Guns are not dangerous in the same way that a sharp knife or a hammer is not dangerous. There, I said it.
