With the decisions made, I think it will be interesting to see how many people from Mahoning, Trumbull, and Columbiana counties head to these casinos. I am willing to place a wager there will be day trips to ALL of these places, and they will be busy constantly.
The only reason Brady Quinn is ranked higher, is that he hasn't thrown a pass in a month. Brady would probably have a rating in the high 20's by now, maybe mid 30's.
Really?? All these comments, and no one made mention or comment about the CHILDREN taken from the house, but we sure made a fuss about the animals, ANIMALS, not people... Ridiculous
Ok, say we all vote against the bond isue. . THEN, will we support the levy that will be needed to raise the full amount necessary for repairs to all the schools (Which, I believe, will be MORE that what we will need for the bond) Just remember, included in the bond, there are monies for upkeep of the new buildings.
This is what it may come down to, and we know what happened the last time we were left to plan for our financial future in relation to the schools. The residents of Austintown PROMISED to pass the last levy in order to keep open enrollment away. Then, they voted against it, and open enrollment is now here in our district, and people are surprised.. Why?? We were told what would happen, and what we needed to do to keep open enrollment out of Austintown.
Please make sure you attend an informational meeting regarding the bond before voting either way. Ask questions, but LISTEN to the answers, too many times people attend these meetings, ask a question, then do not even make an effort to hear the answer, let alone listen to the answer, then complain that they are being ignored. Become informed...it is what we want our kids to be, why should we be anything less.
Hopefor the valley.. Can you help me out here.. You said TWICE that this is about sports.. I can't find anything to support your comments.. Also, I don't think this is a Tax Levy, I believe it is a bond issue. And as far as becoming a school... apparently being one of the top 314 best schools in the COUNTRY, did you get that.. COUNTRY.. must mean nothing.. CONGRATULATIONS WATSON ELEMENTARY ON YOUR NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON AWARD.
Defintion of "most" 1. in the greatest quantity, amount, measure, degree, or number 2. in the majority of instances: 3. greatest, as in size or extent:
In all 3 cases, 60% would be "most"
I'm not saying you are incorrect, just stating that 60%, by defintion, is "most"
How about charging the PARENTS of ALL the juvenilles involved with failure to teach your kids right from wrong, common sense, and respect to authority figures? The officers involved should get together and try that, see how that goes for them. It is too bad that's not something that could be done. I'm sure the juvenille punching out the car windows was doing so accidentally, or in self defense and the police just over-reacted.
Why did the same story get shown on Channel 27 with Dave Sess? It appeared as it the same letter was sent to Dave Sess. I also caught a piece of a similar story on 21 news ( at least I thought it was), so did Mr Traficant send 3 letters? I find it hard to believe that he didn't contact Michelle Nicks during his time in jail, she seemed to have a goor rapport with him, and she is camped outside the prison waiting for him.
Just curious, what elementary schools do your children attend? Also curious, do you think that the quality of the school buliding/facilities your child/children attend are up to par? One more question, how will the district replace the schools without this 47% assistance package from the state?
I am just wondering how this is bad publicity.. Can someone explain it? It seems the only negatives are coming from the people who no longer live here, and don't need the help Mr Traficant can offer. ( I hope everyone calling him Jim or Jimbo knows him personally, otherwise it is rude and disrespectful.) If Mr Traficant is so bad, then shouldn't we do away with everything he helped bring to the valley, starting with the Covelli centre and Cafaro field. that seems to make sense, right? Just wondering out loud....
