Comment history for apollo

Heck, the Boardman employees have been threatening me for years. One time even made a comment that a stray bullet might be coming my way. Then when I tried to get their internet usage, the township ran to Gains to get him to give them a reason for not providing it.

First off, the depth of the quake was NOT 3 miles down as a previous poster said. CNN says 1.4 miles down. Secondly, you've got an area with no major faults suddenly becoming like California only the quakes are less severe. To make the claim that there is no correlation between the brine well and these quakes is scurrilous. The timing and proximity alone are enough to make a connection. What they should do is make the CEO of D & L Energy build and live in a home with his family within 100 yards of the well. If he refuses, then we know the answer.

At least 2 of the above posters are public employees in Boardman.

Chief Nichols retired last year after inflating his last 3 years of salary and is getting around 60K in pension and then was rehired at 60K. I don't know what his accumulated sick and vacation time take was yet but I'll have that early in 2012 posted on my website.

Another poster above retired and is now rehired in Boardman. Double dipping.

Not only are these double dippers slopping at the trough, they are preventing new employees from getting jobs and double dippers strain the pension funds.

Residents of Boardman passed the recent levy. I keep hearing of crime in Boardman and was surprised that the new levy didn't completely rid Boardman of crime. But, I'm real glad they got the new terrorist vehicle and feel much safer with it.

Vote yes on the issue to help reign in spending that is unsustainable. The public sector still feels that it is immune to the realities of the market place. They need to pay higher health care premiums and reduced pensions. If the employer (taxpayers) are feeling the pain, the employees (public employees) also must make sacrifices.

Democracy isn't a spectator sport. If only the townships voters gave a rats a** and found out the facts. Crime is NOT rampant. The township is overpaying for little talent. They waste money and built in goofy wages based on inheritance monies. Very little outrage over putting a levy on an August ballot and pulling the wool over the eyes of voters too busy with mundane activities to learn about what's going on here. You gets what you deserve!

HAY where is Apollo and how super we are out here in Boardman

I'm here watching the fools who voted for the last levy complain about the fools who run and work in the township. We needed more cops all right. To fight the doggie on the corner of Market and 224. Just like we need more firemen to fight the drive the big trucks to fender benders. The Township is simply run by the least efficient group of clowns that a township could find. Nobody watches who they hire and name recognition is what drives elections. Costello was voted out and then back in. Can't make up your minds? It's mind boggling really.

Boardman has very little real crime so they concern themselves with these types of activities. Notice how the front page Boardman crime stopped immediately after the passage of the levy in August? Giving them more money was a mistake. Watch the contracts start to milk the township coffers again. Pretty soon, all Boardman employees will be making over a hundred thousand not just the upper echelon. Vote no on the November renewal. Send a message.

Kesner was referring to a bill passed in 1976, which adjusts the tax rate so taxpayers, as a group, pay the same amount after a reappraisal as they did before it.

How sweet is that? Stick it to the property owners and never give them a break. You property could go to zero and you still owe the same tax.

The township employee above, always falls back on the myth that I would have taken a massive pay cut to work at the township. If the former chief wouldn't have placed a bogus ad, I'd never have even applied for such a low paid position. They hired a neophyte and sold her as a 15 year veteran. Of course for $40,000 a year, they were unlikely to get a 15 year veteran.

I'm not the least bit bitter about the IT coordinators position. But the employees ARE bitter over me having their salaries posted in the public domain.

Lets become a city so they can not only tax you out of your house but get into your paycheck too.

Incorporation is the answer for the township employees above because it enables them to tax your income as well as your property. All they understand is more for them and less for citizens.
