Foxtrot, don't even mention that you are familiar with DOS, basic, and FORTRAN. Languages that are really obsolete. COBOL is still the language of choice in major corporations. There are still billions of lines of COBOL code that runs the systems of major companies. And what does it mean you are familiar with databases? The real DB, DB2, or some little ACCESS DB? Can you write complex SQL? How about a star join? Assembler is still used quite a bit on the mainframe. PL/I is still used by IBM. DB2 is still the Mercedes of databases. Don't even try to impress me with you IT knowledge. I and people I work with have forgotten more than you'll ever know.

Hey Foxtrot, showing off that IT knowledge I see. Mainframes are far from obsolete my friend. The mainframe is actually producing more MIPS (or MSU's) now than 10 years ago. In fact, some colleges are now back to offering mainframe classes because of the resurgence of the platform and the graying of us mainframers. But, in typical Mahoning Valley fashion, you and your ilk are about 10 years behind. Mainframes make the world go round. Ask the big companies whose lifeblood is so reliant on the most secure, most powerful, and most reliable platform on the planet. Gartner research, the expert in anything IT says so too.

Here's another a little more recent!

So much for the mainframe being dead!!! Plus the platform pays a whole lot more than those kiddie boxes and HTML coders. Proving you guys wrong is like taking candy from a baby. Do you just make stuff up like that all the time?

Change thinks writing HTML is IT. bwaaaaaaa.

That's a childs language. How about assembler? Can that child write assembler? If he can IBM will pay handsomely for that. HTML, a dime a dozen.

Again, these people have no clue what real IT is. A PC and the internet is their concept of IT.

Gary, these morons who think they are IT experts and obviously website experts, are a hoot. Is it any wonder why this township is in such financial difficulty? They say I spew things but at least my stuff is true. They don't like my website because it exposes those ridiculous wages of the employees. That's the only reason I set that up. To give the township a place that shows how overpaid our employees are. These are things that SHOULD BE on the township website. So too should the audit. But, they don't want it in the public domain. They prefer opaque government done in back rooms and with the cabal in control. You can almost tell who is answering me. Darnell is probably one. perhaps Smith. You could list about 10 people and have them all.

Hey change, you still need to register the website, idiot. You can't just create some pages and wella, there's a website.

Gary, these people don't know and worse, they don't know, they don't know. They have almost zero concept of what IT is and yet they can get on here and claim a 27 year veteran of IT doesn't know what he's doing. They have no concept of the mainframe at all.

I don't fear Darnell, far from it. He's irrelevant. Without his father in law he's bankrupt, out of business. His circulation is almost nothing. That rag couldn't influence anything.

Sure Gary, I'd like to get all the salary info I can get on the website.

Does change know that you need to have a host? GoDaddy is the largest website host in the US.

Change is also showing his stupidity. You need to REGISTER to get a website and pay a REGISTRATION fee to keep it alive. You can't just "write" a website like Change thinks. Provide us your sixth graders website so we can compare! LOL. Regardless, I'm not a website IT person. Still, its better than yours. (or your 6th graders!)

I spent maybe an hour setting that website up. I added the links to the salaries and some links for Tugboat. A few other links for visitors. (almost 3000) Still, it's infinitely better than you website and almost as good (or bad) as Boardman's website.

Foxtrot, I'm not a website developer. It's a bare bones website to provide the salary info. I never said it was a dynamic website. Just showing off that IT knowledge you don't have I see. IT has numerous platforms. IT doesn't mean "the internet" In fact, the vast majority of IT workers have nothing to do with the internet. I just love how people with no knowledge of something think they are experts.

This election will be a referendum on the cabal. They no longer have Miller and Gallitto to blame. Watch the township crash and burn into state control and another levy or two will be on the ballot over the next few years. Leicht and Costello being buddies won't help. We've got 2 trustees whose only frame of reference is public trough feeding. The other one is already a proven failure as trustee. The future looks bright!

Actually, the insurance savings number is readily available from the township. The savings from CALEA in insurance premiums wasn't even $100. Yet, Mancini and Costello sold CALEA as a big insurance cost saver. Call the township and get the numbers, they have to provide them.
