Honestly, this is the caliber of personnel we have running our county? And, we wonder why so little progress happens in this county. When will we ever learn? Bush should step down. If he won't, county commissioners should remove him. I'm also no Cafaro fan, but the law is the law. I have to agree with Joe Bell's assessment. Commissioners should look at removing Thomas Lyden also. When will the county ever have integrity and do the right thing?! This is a sickening article.
And, better yet, DeMaine Kitchen has been in charge of the demolition program for more than a year without a quantifiable impact on the city. In fact, there isn't a single program that Kitchen can point to that shows sterling results, and he wants to be the mayor?!
Sometimes, I wonder if city council members and the mayor just weren't born in the Stone Age. It's articles like this that keep pouring in, and they make city leaders look like simpletons.
I have a suggestion for these moronic city leaders, what about reducing the city income tax rate? It's the highest in the state, and now they admit they aren't helping the neighborhoods? Complete idiocy!!!
Both are as about worthless. Not even sure why they're running. Just because Williams got elected on an independent ticket, they have hope? Remember, Williams left the city when it needed him most. DeMaine Kitchen is famous for saying that all the city's woes aren't his problem because they didn't happen on his watch. I don't know how many countless times he said that to me. And, jimmy Huges, in my mind, he was the most unprofessional police chief we ever had. And he wants to be mayor?!!! Honestly, the city has come to the dregs of society for its leadership. No wonder we have so many problems and can't pull ourselves out. These two are as worthless as any candidate I might see on a ballot. But, you know, with what's left for stupid votership in Youngstown, I can see one of these worthless candidates being voted in. Par for the course around here!
First, it's somewhat a shame that we have to continue this multi-jurisdictional "saturation" management mentality because city leaders continue to have no foresight. When the city stopped providing "basic" municipal services, droves of law-abiding citizens left the city and continue to leave. When will city leaders get it figured out?! And, we have yet another department head who can't wear a tie at press functions?! Anyone getting this? Am I the only one?
Regardless of whether these allegations may be "erroneous", one shouldn't discount the fact that Canfield has a huge public image issue. Many of us refer to the Canfield PD as Nazi police. I stopped doing business in Canfield because I got pulled over for the stupidest reason, and no ticket. Canfield isn't worth the time. I wonder if business owners know why they don't get some business.
And let the crappy, slow service begin. Logistically, doing this doesn't even make practical sense. No wonder stamps are 45 cents. This confirms my thinking that postal managers are about the most bureaucratic, inept government employees we have on the rolls.
So the City of Youngstown takes Ohio Valley as the lowest bid for all of the city. They didn't collect the trash last week. I wonder if they will be picking it up tomorrow as planned. See what happens when the city takes the lowest bidder. Junk service.

Training session set in Youngstown on Ohio’s open-meetings law
Go figure that city council members, who act like thugs themselves sometimes, would violate the open records law.
