Hey everyone - not worth wasting any bandwidth responding to carlstatz.

He's just one of those sad-ass people who will spin things by running around with a camera taking pictures of the worst examples of an area, all the while spouting about how he elevated himself to a better area. He's a legend in his own mind.

Fact is that while he publishes all his pictures and his ghetto map on picassa, he's too big a coward to tell anyone else where he lives so anyone can go take pics of the crap around his place. Dont get dragged down to his level. Let him continue to make himself feel better about what a genius he is while we all carry on doing worthwhile, positive things that make life around us better.

I wonder why it was that the Aggravated Murder charge dropped? Is there some question as to whether or not he was in on it?

If so - why are they still charging him with Aggravated Robbery?

Or better yet - head out to any of his other facilities like the Radio station on the east side or the farm on 422 in Coitsville and see for yourself: http://www.ironandstring.org

"If you can't do it yourself with private financing then perhaps your idea isn't a good one."

What a ridiculous thing to say.

Our government pisses away hundreds of millions of dollars yearly on transporting disabled kids back and forth to special schools on private flights.

Jimmy Sutman does more for these people in a day than most do in a lifetime. If you had any idea what his organization did, you'd know that he basically does for pennies, what our elected officials have failed to do after spending millions. He is the best money our government could spend. But people like you only see the fact that he's a private entity - therefore he's using the money for himself. He isnt. He simply gets done what government cant. Effective use of funds (however they are provided to him) for his clients best interest. And he has proven it for many years.

I suggest that before you go on a rant about what government shouldn't be doing - you compare it to what it does. . . . the smart money is with Jimmy Sutman.

Boy you are anything but the truth.

The county pays for every other dink-ass city/township/village around here - why not Youngstown?

Either way - this sad little publicity stunt doesn't save a dime. As everyone who has anything to do with this (other than Wellington himself) has said - it doesn't save any money and it puts people at risk for NOTHING! This is the sort of back-room, childish, political "I'll get you back" sort of crap that has kept this area in the stone age for much longer than it should have been.

The sooner Wellington's wrinkled ass is out of that job - the better off we'll all be.

@WHATSSHAKIN

I don't condemn anyone for retiring. I condemn people who "play" the system (no matter what his color). Fact is that Jimmy Hughes did a horrible job being the police chief of the city of Youngstown.

I dealt with him several times regarding numerous problems and he didn't do anything other than make excuses about how little manpower he had and wore out that tired-ass civil servant phrase "we're trying to do more with less". Having said that, he was always civil to me and didn't seem to be a bad guy or anything - he just sucked at his job.

He was the police chief for 6 years and got a 1/2 million dollar retirement buy-out. Are you freakin' kidding me? I worked at a business in Boardman for 10 years and at the end of it I got a "Thanks-a-lot" (and several people I worked with took me out to a bar). There is a difference between a "legal" thing to do and a "right" thing to do. He, in no way shape or form "earned" 1/2 a million dollar buy-out for the crappy job he did - period.

I'm pretty certain that when he runs for sheriff, the voters will speak and he's not gonna be very happy about the results (but I certainly will).

I don't begrudge the guy on a personal level, I just don't want him in charge of the security of me and my family, and I think he should have passed on at least a healthy portion of that 1/2 million, legal or not.

And I'm reallllly pissed at the knuckleheads that are in charge of setting up that buy-out system (but as usual - they are hiding behind a faceless bureaucrat's desk).

Summit Racing Equipment should have opened a satellite store there.

I say we "actually" get him hooked on Phoenix (AZ) so we don't have to deal with his idiot-ass running for Sheriff here!

Superstars tactics make for a good sound-bite, but unfortunately, there are a ton of holes in this logic:

1. Drug test all those occupying Federal housing. Positive test means they are removed. Let them occupy another region.

a. Who exactly would pay for all these drug tests?

Last I checked, Clinical labs don't test anything for free, and that's before you get into the problems of paying people to monitor the conditions of the test (watching them pee into a cup to make sure the pee is actually theirs and so forth).

Let them occupy another region. . . hmmm - lets put them all onto a bus and ship them off to the wilds of Canfield, or maybe North Dakota - I hear there's a bunch of empty land up there. Of course the good people of Canfield or North Dakota probably wont appreciate that too much, but who cares - they're not here anymore.

2. Cut all welfare & Medicaid to all convicted of any crime. Let them occupy another region.

a. Again - which region would that be?
b. And when they show up on the Emergency room doorstep (because these folk don't tend to be too healthy to begin with) do we just let them sit there till they die - rendering them no longer a problem to us). Just wondering, since we cant even seem to turn away illegal aliens - much less US citizen welfare cases.

3. Round up the 100s of teens occupying city streets during school hours. Release them to the parents after a large fine is paid. Use the money to employ more Police, buy equipment, pay for these urban occupiers legal & housing expenses.

a. How would these parents (who clearly don't even give a damn about what their kids are doing - much less being bothered by having a job) pay this large fine? Tell you what - why don't we confiscate their "Rent-A-Center" living room set and sell it to pay off their fines. Then we could hire 1/1000th of a police man. 1000 more and we could have a whole cop!

And before everyone starts yelling about what a whining liberal I am - let me make it clear that I don't give a tinkers damn about these poor welfare cases - I just would like me or anyone else to come up with an actual solution that can be done rather than a good sounding completely un-doable fairytale about how hard core we should be.

If the ones who leave are people like you Carl, we can only hope. . .
