Maybe I will refuse to recite the pledge until whackjob groups like the ACLU are banned from the publicly funded facilities. The ACLU along with the whacko left has done a great job of destroying this country to the point where it is no longer a one for all mentality - too many self-centered special interests these days to even be considered the "united" states ... untied states is a more appropriate description of this country, and Obama years will be recognized for their role in cementing that division.
Interest has waned because people had to go and change the name and ruin the themes in the name of political correctness ... you see what that got you! Let me know when the Christmas Parade comes back, and then maybe to would I.
This is kind of funny! Think of the old saying "it takes one to know one". Jay is afraid some outside interest is going to come in and tell people how to do things... HA HA that's funny! Ask the people of Girard how funny they think it is. Ask the good people of Austintown, Boardman, and Canfield how funny they think it is.
The FACT is that there is not enough support in the MARKET for what Jay wants. There is not enough support in the MARKET for the drains the unions have caused on the system. The fact is that Northside has been kind of like a cancer to the system and in the process is killing of TMH which was doing perfectly fine before becoming associated with the mess that is Northside and was Youngstown Hospital Association.
Get over it Jay. Sometimes people (who are smarter and more capable) do come in from outside the inner (political) circle and sometimes the just DO have a better way to run things... Why don't you go ask the good people of Girard how they feel about this type of interference - afterall, they have recently experienced it FIRST HAND FROM YOU!
The idea might be well-intentioned, but here we go again with a bunch of little communities all across the state creating a patchwork of different rules and laws that will change literally from one block to the next - and in some Niles areas, literally from one driveway cut to the next. The BETTER solution to this problem would be in a county-wide or state-wide plan of some kind... besides, it is hard to legislate "common sense" - people either have it or they don't.
Wow, sounds like the cancer that has been eating away at Youngstown for decades has finally spread into Boardman now too... ??? Pity the Mahoning Valley ... pity more the fools who think the solution is to sweep all the dung under one umbrella - all you will end up with then is a bigger dung heap.
Wow! You won't catch me saying this a lot I think - but "Strickland did something right!" ... gotta give credit where credit is due.
The CF bulbs are a good idea. What is a BAD idea is making me pay quadruple for them when I already use them to begin with and not giving me any say-so in how you are not only spending, but wasting, my money. I don't know if they make these bulbs in the US or not - if not, they should - you can't cry about the competition if there is no alternative offered - but definitely make sure.
Mayor Melfi needs to stand his ground for what is right. The fact of the matter is, where the line on the map is drawn has no bearing other than someone's desire to have what someone eles has. The land, regardless of how worthless or valuable it is, sits in Girard - it has for years. Youngstown is once again the aggressor in this situation, this time going after Girard. Mayor Melfi is completely right in standing for what is right for the people of his city who elected him to represent them - to do anything less would be a deriliction of his duty. It is not Melfi's fault that Jay Williams covets his neighbors posessions. Jay is only concerned about two things: taking the land from another community and taxes. If this deal ever even proves to be legit, it will take plenty of time and patience and effort to do it right. At this point, Jay is kind of like the democrats in Washington: hurry up and do what I say before anyone notices what I'm really doing because if people get to read the fine print, they may object to the actions...
These polls are more meaningless every day. The polls are going to be, in general, reflective of the group of sample - so when you sample 2/3 democrats and 1/3 republicans, would you be surprised that the results are somewhat 2/3 approve and 1/3 disapprove (I don't pretend to know what the sample was in THIS poll - but in general, I am understanding that many polls are not sampling true random samples or evenly split samples) So the polls mean very little. Another thing is that true leadership does not lead by polls, they lead by what is right. So who cares if a certain percentage of a democrat tilted survey are all warm and fuzzy about Obama? It doesn't change the fact that he, and more so his cronies around him, is destroying this country one day at a time - day by day.
Jay just continues to demonstrate his ignorance. So let's get this straight - since he lost his pointless battle to dictate people to living within Y'town city limits, he will now pretend that someone in Mahoning County, or let's say, Portage, Trumbull, Columbiana, or Stark - they are presumed well-qualified for city jobs, but by definition, the poor sap who lives 8 miles east on 224 (just over the PA line) is somehow less capable than his next door neighbor who lives 7.75 miles out from the city...
You see how POINTLESS all of this is Jaybird? When is someone going to focus on something that MATTERS for Y'town?

Nice job Gov. ... for a change.

Maybe this explains why there are so many more idiots walking around Ohio the past few election cycles. HA!
