WARNING: This may be offensive to some. I read this comment from an article that
the city got a grant to improve signage. Here is a response on the Daily Journal Fourm

"Correct me if I'm wrong. But $3,590.02 per sign. This is exactly what is wrong with this city. This grant money should be used for something useful like cleaning our parks, hiring more Police officers, cleaning our streets, or opening that rediculas pedestrian bridge so the gangs can "tag" it. Maybe if you cleaned our streets people would want to come here. What would the signs say " Welcome to Millville, dont forget your glock."
"Welcome to Millville, Not responsible for lost or stolen items"
"Welcome to Millville, Our Mayor is a Retard"
"Welcome to Millville, Our crack whores are the best in the county"
"Welcome to Millville, the rectum of N.J.."
I could go on forever. Let see what the rest of you folks can come up with. We can have some fun with this one." catfishguy

Mark,
You are correct. I find it extremely offensive that our elected officials would spend taxpayers money to advertise for businesses that should be promoting their own businesses. Another example of "what can the government GIVE me?" and with every handout program our democracy erodes and the government becomes stronger.
We should keep this in mind:
Any government that is powerful enough to give it's people everything they need is powerful enough to take away everything they have.
More Section 8 housing and sprawl. That's the answer. Stay the course Big Lou!!!! More fried chicken joints in the center of town while you're at it. Now that's class.
perhaps the government should also take away farm subsidies, rad grants and section 8 money. that would leave a lot of the biggest negative mouths in millville a little hungry, eh?
But Big Lou's cronies and Milleville First are ENTITLED to Section 8 Money. It's in the constitution that the tax payers should pay them to maintain their slum properties.
I really pity people such as catfishguy on the DJ forum who feel so negatively about where they live, assuming he lives here. I mean really, if Millville is the place he describes, he should move out as a matter of self-respect. There are also some DJ Forum Millville haters who no longer live here but who seem obsessed with the place and continually badmouth the city. Not clear what their problem is, but they should move on and get a life. As for me, I think Millville is terrific. Certainly not perfect -- there are a lot of problems -- but the commission and the city administrators have made enormous strides over the past years.
One doesn't have to look very far to see the strides the current commissioners have made. Just look at your tax bills over the past 12 years and I have heard the city debt is over 60 million?
Now one has to wonder why anyone would want to move out of town. I would figure they would want to stay here and pay, raise their children here so they can pay and they can raise their children here so they can pay. If Millville First has a problem with taxes and the city debt, how do I join their organization?
hahaha, I love when Millville Firsters post anonymously to try and make their numbers seen greater than they really are.
I especially love it when they use the exact same phrasing they used in comments on other forums, under different names.
These trolls need to get a life.
Keep it a slum surrounded by strip malls and developments, Big Lou. These yokels don't know any better. It's easy money for the Section 8 landlords- SUBSIDIZED RIGHT OUT OF THE TAX PAYERS' POCKETS.
Hmmmm, "Subsidy", noun, "a monetary gift"....ohhh it's a gift..."to somebody or something to pay for expenses". Well, geepers, with Section 8 susidies, who pays for that? Are there any handouts like that in Milleville? Big Lou, Millville First, do you care to comment about this government handout? It seems to have been going on here for a very long time. Any comments? It sure makes the town appealing to those who might want to move here. Anyone, a comment?
Whoever thinks that a government that can provide everything that is need can also take it all away has no knowledge of the most elementary principles of philosophic logic, and moreover no empirical evidence for said claim.
It is a simple logical error to assume that if they can provide all they need that the converse is also true. Taking is not the "opposite" of "providing", or in logical terms if providing something is A, and it requires a certain process P, and a certain among of energy and resources E, there is no evidence that generally taking it back NOT(A) would be the reverse process P, and require the same energy and materials E. Hey I think this is the second law of thermodynamics. All real processes are not reversible. The more complex the less reversible the said process is.
Furthermore And "all the things people have consist" in more than needs, thus they would have to be taking more than they give which would require more structure and more resources than merely giving, especially since the government will never be providing the needs to everyone since many can provide them on their own.
Rejecting libertarian hasty generalizations is like taking candy from a quadraplegic baby.
Also all real libertarians take subsidies when convenient -- and yeah section 8 is purely funded by government (READ: TAXPAYER MONEY), so any libertarian who has their hands on properties which house section 8 tenents are acting contrary to their own idealistic principles, and are thus relegated to little more than political opportunists, who mouth the idealism to others as a feeble attempt to win followers while hoping that followers won possess a poverty of information to see that their actions in the really existing social world when scrutinized closely enough constitute the basest forms of ideological failure!
In other words, Millville First people take government handouts to increase their own wealth, but don't want to give back to the common good?
That's really the way it looks.
In other words, Friends of Millville people take government handouts to increase their own wealth and don't provide for their children as ordered by the courts?
They say people rise to what is expected from their environment. Seems like the Millville slum has served Millville First very well for many years, so let us not rock the boat, baby. Keep it a slum Big Lou, your doin' fine. Section 8 all around boys, courtesy of the U.S. Taxpayer.
I am from foreign country (don't worry non-hispanic) and need something please explained to me. Millville First citizens are against entitlement, except the entitlement from the government for Section 8, which everyone else pays for. How is that discrepancy resolved? Are there good entitlements, and bad entitlements? If an entitlement benefits my personal bank account, is it therefore an acceptable entitlement? How can you accept a handout for so long and have anything to say about public use of funds? Please explain in terms that a child could understnad or someone who does not yet have flags as big as on Millville First website.
It's called: political opportunism, dude. It's no more complex than that. None of the people could rationally resolve their contradiction so they just hope that they people they preach their randdroid garbage to are too stupid to see the inconsistencies.
I don’t know what has happened in the old place since I left in 85 as an 23 year old criminal scientist but was thinking of putting my boots down there again in a few years to call it quit's be buried in mount pleasant and such... well it don’t seem to change at all. You put a fresh coat of paint up but lost all Millville stood for. Same as it ever was...same as it ever was.
