Most of you are missing the most important issue here, and that is:
The police need to do their jobs! I used to live in Niles, and I can attest to the fact that these guys do not want to sit and run radar or watch for red light runners. All they want to do is, as the "Chief" says, "patrol," which translates to them driving around, or parking next to the closed Burlington store on Rte. 422.
Almost every time I go through the intersction at 422 & 46, at least 2-3 cars run the left turn signal. My son was hit there by one of these people, who had no insurance and was not cited by Niles police. My son's car was totaled, and he had spinal injuries, which resulted in his needing surgery years later. All a cop needs to do is sit at one of these intersections for a while every once in a while, and maybe people wiould get the idea NOT to run the light. Traffic cameras are not the solution.
A few years ago, I had my new car egged while parked at the movies behind the mall, and called for the police to come and make a report for my insurance.
They never came after 15 minutes, but when I finally left to go wash the car off, there were 2 cops sitting in front of Burlington, talking. I stopped to politely complain about them not ever showing up, and got treated very rudely. One cop was on "private security," and the other was on duty.
I ended up with a damaged door, which I had to pay for.
I could go on and on about these worthless guys, and their antics over the many years I lived in Niles.

"War on Flu??" HA!
This whole swine flu thing is nothing more than an excuse for vaccine makers to get richer.

How about Mahoning, starting just past Meander Bridge, and up to N. Jackson? Many holes as deep as 8 inches.

What about Jimbo's involvement with the Youngstown Charm School while he was Sheriff?
This place allegedly helped condition mind-controlled subjects of the CIA's Monarch Project.
