Both of these trustees could always be quoted as saying things like, "It's important to have an independent person, with no stake in anything, take a look at our finances." If there was an accounting issue, don't you think the State would have brought it up?
And isn't Nunziato part of the recent MetroParks $100,000 buyout fiasco?
Yo, Apollo, if you can show that something I did as a 'benefactor of the taxpayer supplied early retirement, pensions, and health care' was illegal, immoral or unethical I suggest you request an investigation.
And you wrote, "At least those curb cuts might benefit a wheel chair bound pedestrian!"
The question should be - What do taxpayers think of government overall?
Let's look at a typical fragment of government, the Transportation Review Advisory Council. TRAC is the panel in Ohio that chooses major new transportation projects. It approved the recently completed widening of 224 in Boardman which included all those ADA mandated and universally designed pedestrian curb cuts that lead to nowhere, literal 'concrete' monuments to the state of government these days. It is no wonder why there is an anti-government attitude shared by many taxpayers when they see this type of waste. Go take a slow drive(but not too slow) on 224 between South Ave. and Southern Blvd. and see what I mean.
Dear Transportation Review Advisory Council: Could we have, like, a million dollars of this money to pave 224 just West of Tippecanoe in Canfield and actually put in sidewalks that would connect to all the pedestrian curb cuts ODOT recently put in on 224 in Boardman? They are presently "curb cuts to nowhere."
Hey, Apollo, the next time they send that big truck out on another fender bender run, you should consider standing in front of it like that Chinaman who held up the tank at Tiananmen Square. That would be awesome!!
But b4 u do, please give us a list of ur favorite beverages. So we'll know what to drink before...u know. :-O
Apollo wroites: "Tug, as usual, you point out the expenditures of pennies when the budget is 85% wages and benefits."
So, if the budget is 85% wages and benefits, that's license to spend recklessly on trinkets and tinfoil?
Hey, Apollo, the next time they send that big truck out on another fender bender run, you should consider standing in front of it like that Dude who held up the tank at Tiananmen Square. That would be awesome!!
From the nightmarish, bursting cannon balls at the Battle of Gettysburg to the blockbuster bombs of World War II to the thermonuclear weapons of today we have come. To quote professor and author Dr. Carl Sagan, “in less than one century, our most fearful weapon had become a billion times more deadly. But we have not become a billion times wiser in the generations that stretch from Gettysburg to us.”
Apollo, did you bother to read the meeting minutes? Talk about saying 'aye to all of it.'
Bioscript Finger Reader and more laptops and....don't forget all the new equipment for all those extra cars you complained about. Your denial mechanism is certainly intact.

“There are a number of options that we’re going to continue to review,” Moliterno said.
Let's start with ending the confusion at the county level:
