It is always a wonder that commissioners and all politicians want to just raise the cost, charge more fees, and get new taxes. It’s the easy answer for everything.
How about getting creative starting a Mahoning County campaign to lower the bed tax in exchange for the hotels to run advertising to encourage tourism.
The next time they have an idea like this, why doesn't the Vindicator just tell them We don’t think so, Maybe you should all just take pay cuts to set an example and create some goodwill. It’s just so easy to tax everyone to death!
It’s ironic and that the labor unions when given a choice during their collective bargaining to either lay off workers or not get a raise, will always want to lay off their own workers. It is always, each man for them self, especially if they are the ones with seniority.
Please vote Yes to give everyone a fighting chance.
I have mixed feelings as to releasing the pictures but I don’t think it is for the reasons previously stated by the President that it would incite more retaliation. Al Qaeda is going to do whatever they are going to do regardless. Others will not do anything different, Muslims or not!
My mixed feelings comes from having watched the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center over and over probably hundreds or thousands of time and seeing Americans jump from the burning buildings. Part of me wants to feel closure and wants to see Osama bin Laden, being shot, over and over. So now that I have gotten that off my chest, I think that as civilized Americans the decision of our President, not to show them is the appropriate one! !
Perhaps if Jay Williams takes the job Car Czar job he can help influence the powers to be in Washingtown to bring a casino to the valley. I think that would be the only chance for Traficants plan to be successful.
Election officials predict ‘extremely light’ turnout

Should Mahoning County commissioners increase the county’s hotel bed tax?

What’s next if SB 5 repeal is OK’d?
Vote Yes on Issue 2

Do you need visual proof to believe Osama bin Laden is really dead?

Ohioans get bad rap from Kasich
This is his cabinet- HIS CABINET
There are all the State Senators that represent and offer the diversity for everyone else.
Anything short of allowing our elected Governor is Racist from small minded people trying to take all of us backwards.

Will the Jim Traficant casino complex planned for Jackson Township succeed?
Perhaps if Jay Williams takes the job Car Czar job he can help influence the powers to be in Washingtown to bring a casino to the valley. I think that would be the only chance for Traficants plan to be successful.
