Trumbull voters face 5-year transit levy

IS THIS LEGAL? The Senior Levy was passed for services only to senior citizens. Now the Commissioners are going to steal the money to finance a public transportation system. That might be OK if the system transported only senior citizens but this is called a public tranportation system so I assume anyone could ride. If public officials can pass a levy for one reason and then steal the money for another purpose, why would anyone ever vote for any levy in the future? How do we know that this new levy won't be used for some other purpose that we don't want and the Commissioners are saying it's for transportation just to get it passed? I for one just don't trust them.

Trumbull voters to face transit levy

@UnionForever - get your facts straight. The NITTS system is privatized. It is run by a union-busting, private, for-profit company called Community Busing. Community Busing's charge to Trumbull County to operate the NITTS system approachs twice the average costs of government operated systems in Ohio (or even other privately operated systems).

Area ranked next to worst

One of the major problems in this area is the "one party system". The politicians don't need to do what's right for their constituency. All they need to do as have a "D" behind their name. Therefore, the politicians do only what is good for the poiticians. They lie during campaigns. Once they're in office, they ignore what they promised and do only what is good for them personaly or for their cronies who support them financially. Ultimately this gives the citizenry a feeling of utter hopelessness. No wonder we think this a lousy place to live.

Ohioans could force recall elections

This will once again make Ohio the laughingstock of the rust belt. Hagan is an embarrassment every time he starts on one of his diatribes. He wants to make the State of Ohio just like the City of Newton Falls where they have a recall election everytime someone doesn't like another someone. The only bill that makes sense is one that allows the recall of Hagan only.

Trumbull engineer retracts stand

If DeChristofaro did misuse the power of his public office for illegal personal gain, whether monetary or not, he should be removed from office. His resignation should be compulsory, not voluntary. His actions were criminal. His intent was despicable. He will end up costing Trumbull County far more than he claims to save through reducued personnel costs.

U.S. Marshals Most Wanted

These articles without a picture of the "most wanted" individual are worthless. Don't waste the space unless you are also going to publish a picture.

$500K donated to Ariz. to defend law

The website to donate is: "https://az.gov/app/keepazsafe/donation_information.xhtml". This is an extremely worthwhile cause which is a first step in taking back the sovereignty of our nation. More states need to step-up and do the job the Feds won't do.

708-member St. E';s union soundly rejects contract proposal

There are a lot more than 708 unemployed people in the Mahoning Valley. Why don't we see if they would be happy with the offered contract and go to work for St. Elizabeth's. Local 377 of the Teamsters is one of the greediest unions I have ever seen. They don't "negotiate" - they simply "demand". Teamsters 377 could start St. E's down the same path that Northside followed. Buck-up management, do your job, replace those who are not willing to work for a fair wage and benefit package.
