Occupy should provide the evidence that most sherrif sale properties are just being flipped . I have bought vacant properties at these sales , rehabbed & tenanted them,
There are some tax delinquent properties I would like to buy & rehab, but the County won't act & the Land Bank gives priority to vacant land .
Youngstown neds to forget the politics & look at the reality for a change . If a property is obviously vacant with an uncaring owner , the sooner it has a new owner , the better for everyone .
After reading today of Hillary Clinton's hardening of her image by refusing to wear makeup ; & George Busgh being convicted of war crimes by a court in Malaysia ; I can only obserrve that we shouldn't be surprised at seeing those at the bottom being tough when they see how those at the top act .

Markets forecast frenzy for Facebook
Wall Street bankers hyped the price up all the way to $45 , but the price quickly fell to 38.27 at the close , just above the Issue price .
I wouldn't be surprised to see FB continue to fall next week with the rest of the market .

Pay, pension contributions go up for Mahoning auditor workers
The salary increases may be a net "wash" to employees , as Sciortino claims . However , they are not a "wash" to the captive taxpayer .
At a 10% contribution + the existing 14% employer contribution , employees will be building up their retirement fund faster than before .
...And the Taxpayer will payi for it , unless there are productivity improvements .
