Welcome to a new blog. If you are interested in politics, especially in New Philadelphia, Ohio, this blog may be of interest to you. I am completing four years on the City Council and created this site because I think you should have the ability to know what goes on both in and out of council chambers.
It has been my experience that citizen interest in the operation of New Philadelphia has been limited by a history of inattention by the administration and city council to the needs, questions, and requests by the citizens of the city. This is the result of arrogance, ignorance, lack of understanding of the needs of the citizen, and a lack of commitment by members of both administration and council. For the most part, the administration and council are composed of members who long ago lost touch with the majority of people who live in the city. Decisions are not always made by existing law, which has been knowingly ignored, but on party lines, family ties, political expediency, financial gain, and just plain laziness to look into the facts and implications of legislation being considered.
With this in mind, the New Philadelphia Tattler was started. Our objectives are to provide news about what is going on in the city, along with commentary, both yours and ours, which you won't find anywhere else. You will be able to ask questions and get answers on this site. You have the opportunity to express your opinion on all types of subjects.
Here is the forum which the city should provide but doesn't. It's up to you now. I'd like to hear from you.
