@300 - Maybe you should learn to read before you pick up a dictionary. Where did the words "phrase, saying or remark" occur in my prior remark? Your comment simply reinforces my pet peeve. Words can and do find their way into the dictionary after enough people use them incorrectly often enough to become considered in "general use". Still doesn't make it right.
This is standard operating procedure for the owner of Community Bus. He "low-balls" an initial contract with a seemingly acceptable price. However, the service delivered is always well below expections or promised standards. Then the CBS owner starts raising the contract price in large increments. However, the owner is a "good friend" and secret contributor to the politicians making the decisions. The public ends up paying exhorbitant prices for substandard service. But the CBS owner and the politicians are happily on their way to the bank.
I hope you are ready and willing to pay for all the things these other people want - because the phrase you left out is "want for free". Somebody - you - are going to have to pay for every entitlement enacted by this liberal, progressive, socialist regime. Enjoy until your money is gone. Then you can get things for free until everybody else's money is gone. The republicans "get it", they just know we can't afford it.
"Open meeting" is a wonderful and necessary concept and law. The public has a right to know what their elected officials are doing. However, the law apparently is a toothless wonder. It has no bite. Public officials flagrantly and consistently ignore the law. There have never been any consequences that I am aware of. The Attorney General gives lip service to the law, but has too many other "more important" items to deal with. So, it appears safe for politicians to simply ignore the law and do whatever they wish without fear of reprisal.
I judge a person by the friends he keeps. If Jerry Springer is BHO's friend and supporter, then I have to assume that BHO is as damaged as Springer. Springer accuses Paul Ryan of a "cynical, mean-spirited attack". Have you ever watched the disgusting antics on Jerry Springer's show? I hope Springer begins a national support effort for BHO. That should end BHO's disastrous Presidency.
These actions by Letson and O'Brien are reprehensible. Pure politics of the worst possible kind. Their actions will derail cost savings for the county and therefore increase expenses paid for by taxpayers. This all because they want a chance to get rid of another d_mn Republican. You guys and your cronyism poitics make me sick. But I guess that is to be expected - it is Trumbull County.

Our readers share their pet peeves
My pet peeve is "reiterate". To iterate is to repeat. To reiterate is to rerepeat.

City woman sues elevator company
Couldn't take the stairs. She's obviously blind, lame and extremely obese. Just couldn't see that little step (if it was even there).

Yes Chuck, you're right. But he was probably drunk at the time.

What’s ‘open’ isn’t a question
"Open meeting" is a wonderful and necessary concept and law. The public has a right to know what their elected officials are doing. However, the law apparently is a toothless wonder. It has no bite.
