Senator and Brother Bill Beagle

Me and my brother, Bill Beagle, waiting for Senatorial Confirmation

Darke, Miami and Montgomery County just elected my brother Bill Beagle to State Senate in the Fifth District of Ohio. When you read the senator-elect’s Facebook page, one can realize that there was a huge effort by many volunteers to make this happen.

John Boehner and Bill Beagle

During his campaign travels, he spent an entire day following the next speaker of the US House, John Boehner, to Huber Heights, Troy, and Greenville. Candidate  Bill heard Representative Boehner’s detailed conservative plans for the next Congressional session. Bill told his voters he wanted to bring that same common sense thinking back to Columbus, Ohio.

Bill received support from the Darke County League of Women Voters, Leadership Troy Alumni, Precious Blood Catholic Church, the Darke County Republican Men’s Club, the Republican party, hundreds of volunteers and many other groups/organizations. Bill was endorsed by the Tippecanoe Gazette, NFIB, Montgomery & Miami County GOPs, The Ohio Society of CPAs, Buckeye Firearms Association, ABC Associated Builders & Contractors, Ohio.

Bill said, “I am running because I want to go to the Senate to help businesses create jobs and to get the state’s financial house in order – not as a stepping stone in my career.” I am sure this no nonsense attitude is what got Bill elected.

Congratulations brother and Senator, Bill Beagle!

Grass Roots Economic Development in Middletown

Thursday, July 24th, 2008


Bill Murphy Meeting 059, originally uploaded by John Beagle.

I was surprised the other day when Bill Murphy, the City of Middletown’s Economic Director, called me and asked for an appointment.

Bill said he was on a mission to meet businesses in the city and find out what the city can do for them.

So, when he showed up today, he brought the president of Sawyer Realtors a 70 year old Middletown Company) , John Sawyer.

Also with Bill was Fred Debiasi. Fred sits on the board for the Chamber of Commerce and is the President of America Savings and Loan.

“We have to listen to our existing businesses first. We want to find out if the city can do anything to help. What can the city do for your company?” were the questions being asked.

We had a good brainstorming session. One thing we all agreed to do was to help get the good word out about Middletown, Ohio. To help people find Middletown through positive news. Businesses in Middletown need to share their good economic news, tell the real story of Middletown instead of the one the newspaper tells about car wrecks and social ills. That’s not the real news of Middletown.

Real news is news such as job promotions, new products, locations and visions for the future. Middletown is located in a prime area for growth, midway between Cincinnati and Dayton. Locating your business in Middletown puts your business in the heart of the entire SW Ohio MSA (Cincinnati and Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area) .

We intend to distribute Middletown, Ohio news through the city’s website and MiddletownUSA.com.
