They aren't saying they dont have money. They are asking for your support for a bond issue to support building new schools. If passed, Atown would only be responsible for 53% of the bill. Why on earth would you rather pay 100% down the road when the schools are in desperate need of repair and the schools are not eligible for this deal? You people are stupid. Where I live, when the school board wants to raise our property taxes, they raise them. However, the last three sales tax issues the schools have asked for for building construction have been overwhelmingly approved. Why? Because we support our schools and look at them as an asset to our community, not a liability. Maybe that's why people move to where I live and out of where you live. My property value has not gone down in this economy. How about yours?
See, thats the problem with the Union Mentality. You think you should be able to do whatever you want and know that you will get to keep your job. In the real world, you dont just get to not show up for work. You have to call off in advance or risk being terminated. What kind of person thinks its ok to go AWOL?
The unions need to get a life. I live in a right-to-work state and work in a non-union school district. I am way better off where I am that if I was working in one of your union school districts. I have found non-union products to be of better quality (Nissan, Toyota, Honda...) and cheaper (Nemenz...when I used to live in the Valley). These picketers need to get a life and move on. Personally, they never phased me. I just ignored them and went about my business. Look at Giant Eagle...Its unionized and is the most expensive grocery store in the area. They are just afraid that more people are going to recognize this and start shopping elsewhere. It has nothing to do with wages and benefits.
Get over the starting date. Where I live, the students report back to school August 10th while the teachers report back August 3rd. Makes August 31st sound really nice, doesn't it?
Stop complaining. Where I live, the kids go back to school August 10th this coming year. I don't see anything wrong with going back the week before Labor Day. However, I disagree with shortening Spring Break. Students and teachers need that break to relax and regroup.
Someone PLEASE tell me what the democratic party has done for the Mahoning Valley? They have kept this area right where they want them. Poor and economically depressed. Afterall, if people in Youngstown had jobs and money, they might come to their senses and see that the democrats have screwed them half their lives and start voting republican. The Dems need the valley for support and are afraid of losing them.
Very well said, ismellmyhand! Couldn't have said it better myself. They have to keep the people of YTown poor and on welfare so that they can keep the strong support there. If poeple had jobs and money, they may see things the way the rest of the tax paying nation does and start voting republican.
Change we need? Since the Democrats took over congress, the bottom has fallen out of our economy. Youngstown is a 1 party town. Now, tell me, what have the Dumbocrats done for Youngstown, besides keep everyone poor? NOTHING! Besides, if the tables were turned, the Dems would want to know who the mismatches were too.
Wow. I can't believe this. Republicans are racist? The only reason blacks are supporting Obama is because he is black. Do you think they would be crawling out of the woodwork for a white person? I don't think so. Just ask Oprah. I dont vote democrat because I work way to hard for my paycheck to see 33% of it handed over to some lazy knocked up piece of trash. Democrats endorse raising my taxes so that they can give more to the poor. Get a job and quit living off the system. Im SO glad my job does not take social security out of my paycheck.
