The Middletown Journal lists its historic roots back to 1857 with Edwina Blackwell Clark as publisher and M David Goodwin as editor, alongside Michael Williams serving as editorial page editor and other leadership roles.
Editorial argues for a November charter vote on electing a mayor every four years and trimming council to four ward representatives plus an at large member. It notes current pay of five thousand dollars and cites a split on raising the mayor’s salary to ten thousand, urging focus on public service over pay.
The opinion pages of the Middletown Journal and the Journal News were swapped in Thursday editions at the Cox Newspapers printing plant. The piece argues a directly elected mayor would require four years of duties and higher campaign costs, but save residents about 20000 over four years, urging support for stronger city leadership.
The article argues President Bush aims to cut farm subsidy payments from 360000 to 250000, close loopholes, and curb giant agribusiness while preserving conservation funding. It notes two thirds of subsidies go to the wealthiest 10 percent and cites EWG and Heritage Foundation figures. The shift could help smaller Maryland farms and reflect a broader budget carve.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger pushes four ballot initiatives to reshape education pay, public retirement with private accounts, across the board cuts, and redistricting reform. He argues the measures will loosen a rigid political system, boost competitiveness, and extend his influence nationwide. The plan hinges on ballot passage this fall with extensive fundraising and polarized union opposition.
Observations mark the deaths of Ozzie Davis at 87 in Miami Beach and Max Schmeling at 99 in Hollenstedt Germany.
