Just what doctor ordered: Merger of city, county health departments

The Saadey's own the Austintown Plaza and probably contributed to Ditzler's campaign for commissioner. All of Mahoning County should be concerned that there is even a debate on the matter.......Why should taxpayers continue to finance a millionaire landlord's business? Mahoning County bought the Oak Hill Center specifically to move all their department's there.

The Board of Health should be at Oak Hill and not in the Austintown Plaza. It makes perfect financial and logistical sense.

Racist text riles race for Mahoning County prosecutor

Why when Paul was asked about the 9 murder cases that were dismissed due to his incompetence, he discussed his work on a budgetary committee with the auditor? And then his answer was that he(Gains) had to help the auditor figue out what to do with the 8 million surplus?

8 million would go a long way at the V2 bar, Paul!

Anyway..................if feel bad for the Gains' people because Paul looked exactly how everyone knew he would: insecure, crazy, and like he just rolled out of bed. Gains' answers were all over the place, and hodgepodged, and has ruined any chance of making this Basil Ally Boolcrap a real issue. Gains beat it to the ground and looked like an old, physically beat-up drunk who is running scared.

Macejko looked prosecutorial in the debate tonight. Macejko looked like someone who people want representing their interests. Macejko stuck to the real issues: Gains' staff and the county prosecutor's office is completely dysfunctional and needs purged.

Even the 21 reporters aknowledged that Macejko was a real prosecutor when they asked Gains about the last time he went to court!!! HAHAHAHA Of course the weirdo-Gains responded how busy he is in the civil division....really Paul? How busy are you there????

After watching Gains in this debate I am asured of two facts:
1. Macejko wins big.
2. Gains is the dude that when Gains get drunk in a bar, every woman begins to feel uncomfortable and wants to leave.

I've heard different people called Gains' a "ladies man"...what normal woman would even go near Paul Gains?

PS...PAUL, EVERYONE OF YOUR ASSISTANT PROSECUTORS THAT TELLS YOU THAT YOU DID A "GOOD JOB" IN THE DEBATE, IS LYING TO YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID.

Racist text riles race for Mahoning County prosecutor

"A text from 2009 and a employee that didn't want to work on Friday's and everyone calls this guy a racist. Really? I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for but leave the guy alone on being a racist. Everyone's using the racist word way to much in society these days. If that's the case then everyone is a racist..." That may be the best lay-person characterization of this fiasco!

Gains is trash and no one cares about any of this crap! That text referred to above was a canned, mass-media-style text/picture message that 100,000,000 million people forwarded around the country, and that could have easily been sent or recieved without someone's actual knowledge......IS THAT ALL THE GAINS' PEOPLE HAVE? Wait til tonight when the moron goes on TV against Macejko? Did anyone see him on 21? He can barely control himself!

BYE PAUL!

Betras apologizes for text messages to candidate

Oz will have my vote! He is about the only decent candidate.

Ditzler is a dude from Austintown with a false sense of entitlement but he has really accomplished nothing in life rather than being an Atown trustee.

Pishkur? A dude who sold Mahoning county water rights to a FOR PROFIT Aqua Ohio? Really? Who would get involved with a company that is bent on taking our second most needed comodity (next to air!) and turn a profit from it? This guy also bankrupted Forum Health and split town. Pishkur must be running for commissioner to sell MVSD to Aqua!

Teague. Yea, ok. lol

Only Oz has ANY qualifications and he is a nice and knowledgable guy. At least with OZ we will get some experience, youthfulness (although he is not "young"), and energy to try new things.

Either way, Betras is wrong and these types of texts are unexcusable.

Betras apologizes for text messages to candidate

The Cafaros have donated ZERO to Gains' opponent this time! And, BTW, Gains and Trafficanti were WRONG in the handling of Oakhill.

Oakhill is a disaster that is going to cost the county tens of millions of dollars and the legal advice provided by Gains' office to breach the lease at the McGuffy Mall was horrible and reckless. Although the Cafaros have been painted like the bad guy, Mahoning County owed them money for leaving early. Plain and simple.

Oakhill may bankrupt Mahoning county but people on these threads want to act as if Gains did something good???? HAHAHAHAHA.....Doesn't anyone wonder why Traficanti is secretly helping Gains? Because those two are the only morons who think Oakhill was good and AFTER GAINS LOSES, Big Ant will be alone (just like high school lunchtime!).

Gains, Macejko try to make their case

"Gains acknowledged that an assistant county prosecutor, who is no longer with his office, should have contacted him before deciding not to oppose the bond reduction in common pleas court" YEAH THAT'S IT, BLAME A SUBORDINATE!

"Some of these things are beyond our control,” Gains said of himself and his staff" NOTHINGS YOUR FAULT PAUL!

"Macejko said Gains and his staff failed to oppose reduction of Williams’ bond from $750,000 to zero.However, Gains faulted Williams, who was on electronically monitored house arrest when he fled, and he noted that Williams had showed up for all court dates before absconding"

BLAME OTHER PEOPLE, BLAME OTHER PEOPLE....Stop blaming other people PAUL!!!!!! Did you really try to blame a convicted felon, who was sentenced to prison, for not showing up for a court date? Is it really the felon's responsibility to ensure his own appearance in court? THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF BOND IDIOT!....you should have taken Macejko's criminal law class at YSU and you'd know that!

Youngstown board OKs hefty severance payments

Good for these guys, 34/33 years at YPD, through the crazy 80/90s is enough to earn these benefits! Also, having some knowledge of the public system, why doesn't Vindy run an article about folks who retire and get ZERO because they called-off all the time? Good for Carabello, Wollet, and Powell for being a good example and coming to work everyday! And I'm glad they get to enjoy retirement a little bit!

380 brings up his BS on every possible board because he hopes somebody will finaly listen to his garbage....nice try but Leo Jennings cannot rig this election!
