A resident lauds Middletown’s new mayor and city manager Bill Becker and hopes for Powers’ future steps. He urges Wayne Township to lower Howe Road speed risk and notes sheriff patrol gaps. He also praises Madison Township, snow plowing, and the fire department Santa Claus, ending with thanks and new year wishes. He criticizes tax exempt churches as nonprofits with vast resources.
