This is a good start to solving the health care problem in America. The current system doesn't fill the needs of of all people. If the insurance companies can't or won't fulfill those needs, the government must step in and force change. If the problem could have been solved by private needs, it would have.
Don't forget quitter when describing her. She's "famous" and "brilliant" but couldn't complete a whole term as governor. I think that tells us all we need to know about her.
It's a shame such cuts had to be made. The Hubbard library is wonderful facility. The staff is pleasant and helpful, the building and grounds are clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere is friendly.
Hubbard voters clearly realize education is important and have approved a new levy to build all new school facilities. A fully staffed and funded library would compliment the new schools. Hopefully these cuts are temporary. I have to believe that the library contributes in some way to the district's recent Excellent rating by the state.
Pattons IGA in Hubbard closed because the owners couldn't afford to keep it open. Henry Nemenz reopened it and hired who he wanted. Who said he had to hire the people who worked there under Patton?
It's all water under the bridge now that UFCW Local 880 has forced the store to close and left our community with a big empty store. And now they want to do the same in Poland and Struthers. That's why people dislike this union.
The UFCW does this all over the country. Here's an example from Phoenix, Arizona where they are picketing a family owned chain of grocery stores named Basha's. http://talesfromtherustbelt.blogspot.com...
I've lived in Brookfield and when it was time to give up the trailer and buy a house, I moved to a place with zoning. How can your property values hold up when Dollar General throws up pre-fab steel buildings or someone plunks an automated car wash down next to your house? You've got to have standards if you want your community to be a decent place to live. Tyler's comments are right on the money. I'm pleased CVS sees opportunity in Youngstown and is willing to develop but this design could be better. A building utilizing warmer colors, masonry and rear parking would help the neighborhood. The proposed building just looks out of place. Youngstown doesn't have to be desperate just because its hard up.
"Of their own choosing" seems to be a real issue with UFCW Local 880. They walked the picket lines for almost a year in Hubbard "informing" people the store was non-union but they never could get the workers there to join up. Even when it came out at a Hubbard city council meeting that Henry Nemenz was thinking about closing his store because of lost sales, the UFCW made sure the pickets kept walking. I guess they decided it was better for Hubbard residents to be unemployed rather than be non-union.
On my way home tonight, I'll drive past an empty store in Hubbard that used to provide good jobs. If I want a gallon of milk I'll have to drive across town to get it instead of just stopping at the now closed IGA.
I guess vacant stores and inconvenience is how the UFCW Local 880 defines success.
There's no spin. The result of the informational picket was the closing of a successful business that employed Hubbard residents, put tax revenue in Hubbard's coffers and helped support area charities. Now the plaza has an empty store that no one wants to re-open as a grocery store. The UFCW has done nothing good for the city of Hubbard.
Here's what I know about the UFCW Local 880. They put the Hubbard IGA out of business with their pickets. The people who worked there were Hubbard residents who were satisfied with their jobs. They saw sales at the store fall off as the pickets kept marching. The UFCW put people out of work because they dislike Henry Nemenz. How can they they possibly say they support workers and represent workers when they worked so hard to put the Hubbard IGA employees in the unemployment line?
