Is that right? Has he officially announced that he is running again? Are you his campaign manager? How old will he be in 2019 by the time he would be finishing out the term? After losing a couple of leaders part way through their term, I would think that age would be a consideration this time around.

One person really isn't much of a choice. I would prefer to have the option to vote for someone who will follow our laws and has more of a business friendly attitude. Clearly both are problems with Mayor Lansford running our city.

Be the change you want to see. Run for office. I'm not running. Having to make a living and not having much local work, I would not have the time to do the job properly. I have out of state projects planned into next year. Certainly there must be a good challenger for the job.

You asked and I gave my opinion numbnutz. Does the name calling make you feel better about not knowing what you are talking about? You answered as if you know that he is running again. Do you know that he is running or not? Do you think that he is really a good choice, considering the lack of good results from his current term, and his age? It would be a shame to lose another leader part way through the term. Personally, I think that someone new would be more likely to have fresh ideas to improve our City.

So, yeah btw...did you lose your job at The Roxy in Ottawa then too as well...like what happened at the Majestic Theatre, out of curiosity here? Also why do you give a RATS A$$ who runs for any office here, or really WHAT happens in this town that you so-called dogged now on here, and with your youtube videos. Do you NOT realize that you are cutting off the nose that spites your face dogging this town when you have a HUGE building uptown to SELL.........what's NOT for you to get here? NONE of what you spew out here about regarding this town, the people in it, nor how it is governed........... will HELP your cause in bailing out of a huge asset (money pit) downtown. Do you seriously think, or believe that you claiming everywhere about all of this crap would / or could help you to what resolve the downtown issues, make it all nice to your specifications, and HELP you sell a downtown business...................AFTER all you say, seriously?? NOOOOOOOOOOO I'm not PO'ed yet, but you'll know when I am............ at this point I am in total AWE as to why, why you are so stupid? You are not only hurting us all, but hurting yourself too as well.........and the sad thing is that you're too blind obviously to SEE IT! M

Majestic, I wish you well, in whatever you do. I have not followed all of this bickering, but it sure has been entertaining, some of what I have read. I do think you wanted to make things better. Maybe you went about it the wrong way, I don't know. But, you sure got some feathers riled, so you must be hitting a nerve here and there. Like I said, no clue what is going on w/ you, the store, or whatever, but best of luck.

M24...........you're right, but do note that yes the conversation always does revert back to KYLE....................his disgruntles with this town, and the City. When yes, yet AGAIN this theatre, nor our town should have no relevance TO him, NOW. The fact is indeed what he truly what he should to be very concerned about, and direct his attention to...is that he needs to unload a HUGE downtown business / building that he SHOULD be making his main focus upon! Therefore because OF............. he should just shut up, and try / pray to promote it. but unfortunately how NOW ...TOOOOOOOOOOO sell that huge downtown storefront! I just don't get it!? If I had to profile KYLE I would guesstimate him to be one of the "postal" types when not getting their way.

You are not only hurting us all, but hurting yourself too as well.........and the sad thing is that you're too blind obviously to SEE IT! M What does my job at the Roxy have to do with anything? Are you bringing it up for any reason other than another attempt at an attack on me? I was just working there Wednesday morning. I have a full set of keys to the place and still get a paycheck from the parent company that owns it. Actually, several months ago, I was discouraged because there weren't any projects happening (the reason that I took the job that he offered years ago) and tried to phase myself out of the job, but the owner asked me to stay around and promised that there would be some projects coming. He wants me back at the Roxy soon to install more equipment, but has too much work for me in other places now. If you want to think that I "lost" my job go ahead, I'll just laugh at you. Now are you trying to tell me that I have no rights to be concerned about what happens in Streator? Who left you to determine that I need to unload my building? I may have to work out of town, but I do still have a residence in Streator. I may not have been born and raised in Streator, but I have a lot invested here. I will not just unload my building and stop being concerned about what happens here just because you seem to think I should. I will continue to talk about what does happen here. If you don't like to hear it, then don't read my posts. You and our City's leadership may not like free speech, but I will still exercise my right. Don't you think that it is more likely that Tim is the one who needs to unload his money pit of a falling apart building? Didn't he say that he listed it for sale and boarded the place up because he couldn't afford it any longer even though Katie says that she was making the mortgage payments? $267,000.00 for a building with many obvious problems and no digital projectors, doesn't sound to me like he is really interested in unloading it, just trying to keep Katie from having it and not giving a crap about the people of Streator or their donations. Do you think that now that he has to pay the mortgage payment on top of the insurance and taxes that he was already paying and was costing him too much, that he will start maintaining the place? I think that it is more likely that the people from Ace will continue to have to clean up the brick pieces falling out of the south wall and the tar paper constantly blowing off the east wall in their parking lot, until tax payers end up having to pay for the demolition of the building. Being such a dear friend, maybe you could stop by there every day and clean up the debris from his falling apart building so that the Ace people don't have to waste their payroll to have a clean parking lot? It is sad that Tim and our City's leadership killed the movie palace. RIP Majestic.

As Tosh pointed out and I agree with, I have obviously hit a nerve here and there. It is a shame that our City leaders don't listen to the public and address the issues so that people don't feel that they have to keep talking about them to try to get more people interested in hiring new leaders. It is also a shame that some people can't just discuss the issues without turning to personal attacks just because they don't like to hear about what has happened. You go ahead and watch for that tax sale and good luck with that.

Well, thank you for confirming that I was not just being defensive, that it was another attack against me. Of course there are 94 pages with many posts of my defending myself, I am constantly being attacked by people who just don't like what I have to say. Yea Kyle, I know I said I wasn't going to respond your post, but what the He!!. I think I need to read more about a Napoleonic Complex, a Persecution Complex, and Charlie "Why's Everybody Always Pickin' On Me" Syndrome", before trying to engage in any conversation on-line with you. I do hope you keep us informed on the "Aquaponics" Facility you establish in Kentucky though. I'm sure you found that "Progressive" and "Business Friendly" Community and City Government you value so highly. Personally, I'll give you about a year and a half. g I haven't been asking why anyone is attacking me, just pointing that they are attacks and why I have to defend myself so much. You realize that I am working on a project for the company that I work for and that I did not pick the location, don't you? I would think that I will be working on another project sooner than a year and a half. There you are again talking as if you think you know what you are talking about when you don't. Being so full of BS is why you have a thread named for it. Wow, we haven't talked about Aquaponics in a while, obviously you are interested in having it be discussed again. I certainly will keep you informed of any Aquaponics news that I see. We know that there won't be any from Streator since our Mayor is so dead set against it. If he weren't, don't you think he would have at least given a requirement that followed our laws, or maybe given a justification? Why turn business away from Streator? Does he just not like business?

Kyle, My response is posted here. I'll give you about a year and a half in your new endeavor. I really do wish you well. Perhaps you would do better by investing your efforts and in your new "home town" rather than trying to tell those of us remaining in Streator what to do. Oh, and I do respect your Constitutional Rights of Free Speech. I hope you respect my Constitutional Rights to tell you I disagree with your position. I feel your pain, knowing no one really cares that you left Streator. We may have questions about how you wrap up your son's business. That is important to those who remain. g Really, I think the year and a half you are suggesting is too long. I am confident that I will be on to another project well before that, as if it is any concern of yours. I haven't been telling people of Streator what to do, just talking about what does happen and asking voters to get registered, be informed and vote on April 7th, in hopes that the direction our community is heading will change. Do you think that the declining population, businesses, and property values has been good for Streator? I respect your First Amendment right to disagree with my position, which is that the excessive bar violence and declining business, population and property values are not good for our community. Do you really think that continuing in that direction is good for Streator? What was it that gave you the impression that I care whether anyone else cares that I may have left Streator to go work on a project somewhere else? If you thought that I was doing anything to try to make you or anyone else care about where I am, you should get over yourself. Is it really important to you how my son's business gets wrapped up? Isn't that really just another attempt at an attack on me because you don't like my talking about what does happen in Streator? Other than the attacks on here by people who were not even consignors and some people being sad that the store hours are limited, no one has been upset about their consignments. It is spelled out in the consignment contract that Flips has control over ownership of the items. However, we have still offered to try to work with any consignor who has a problem with the store not being open as much, but no one has come forward to take us up on that. You are probably right though about it being important to many others who remain in Streator. One less business in a community that already has so few could be very concerning to many, particularly since our City leaders have shown such of a vindictive attitude against the owners. I hope they will remember how our City treats business owners when they vote on April 7th.
