Rather interesting how two townships with financial problems can find that kind of money for a zoning guy. Didn't Boardman just come crying poor-mouth wanting a levy for cops?! Their safety forces and employees haven't seen raises in years and took concessions yet they can find $70k and money for benefits. Austintown and Boardman voters, once again we have been lied too about finances. And Boardman are you still paying $50k to your former Zoning inspector and she hasn't been to work in months and no one can get the same answer twice as to why?!
Come on! Who's really surprised here?! This is the same city where a convicted drug felon was allowed to run for and WIN a council position!! The people of Struthers don't give a damn, yet they complain when they can't business to stay or locate there. It's the City of Youngstown only on a smaller scale.
I guess locking yourself in your office all day and not returning phone calls does payoff. Too bad his staff hasn't seen a raise and they do all of the work to make him look good. Politics in Mahoning County is alive and well
Why does Boardman need another Police Levy? They already have/will have hired 10 new cops!! If they were so good at their jobs they would be working proactively to remove these scumbags and not performing reactive policing.
Funny how crime increased in Boardman when this levy passed first time. Haven't heard how their bus drivers or administrators have taken any kind of wage freezes, had their insurance increased and they still make $19/hr. I don't think police, fire or teachers make that much an hour. Seem to remember reading an article where new firemen in Boardman make $8. Vote F-NO on this levy!!
So if I get this right, private ambulance drivers will run all of BFDs EMS calls, charge twp residents full price for the call, collect all of the revenue, and the firemen will run less calls while collecting the same pay. Thank you Trustees for less services at the same cost. Genius, pure genius. Joe Lane is smiling ear to ear
Welcome to South Youngstown. The small townships in southern Mahoning county weren't the only ones screwed when WRTA passed that levy. Bring the bus to South Youngstown, steal a car to get back to the homeland. Or use the car for a drive-by.
Once again, as with the Kasich administration, who and how many of upper management have been slated to lose their jobs or have taken a pay cut to help out this situation? I'll go out on a limb here and say, as with the Kasich administration, NONE!!!
Hey Vindy when you send a reporter to cover a game how about he gets to know who the coaches are. Coach Moschella wasn't at the game last night he was home sick with pneumonia. Possibly one of the reasons Fitch was able to beat the Spartans...that and the fact they only have 2 juniors and 1 senior on the team.
Well thank God the private sector is getting raises and bonuses, that means the public sector employees won't have to listen to all that bull$hit anymore. Since the government still owns part of GM and all.
Austintown offers pay raise, zoning inspector gives up on Boardman
