webad, look it up. Didnt he plead guilty to 5 or 6 felonies? With that being said, the lowest level felony is subject to a maximum of 1 year in jail. He should have atleast spent a few years behind bars, not released on probation! Also, isnt it the Prosecutor who actually recommends the sentence? Not sticking up for Sweeney either but the blame cant be placed all on her!
Enough is enough! Stop blaming the unions for the mistakes of upper management! If you elected competent politicians, you wouldnt be in this debate. How would it be fair for an employee who makes 30k a year to pay the same co-pays as Kasich who is earning 6 figures? This is an attack on working people and Kasich has to go! Look at all the money kasich wasted on securing his home instead of moving in to the mansion which already had the security! The state is in fiscal emergency and Kasich keeps creating new positions and hiring his croneys! Working Ohioans are not stupid Kasich and we wont stand for you attacks! See you at the polls.
SB5 will create fairness? Are you kidding me? Unless you work for a public agency and see all the hidden deals made behind closed doors, please close your mouth! Atleast union contracts provide guidelines to those public officials that were appointed by their elected leaders. It spells out how to promote, give increases, etc. I see first hand how it is when the leaders have full control over promotions. They give huge raises to their friends whether they are qualified or not. Heck, they promote their friends to management position who were the WORST abusers of the system. Dont go to work, do as little as you have to and kiss your bosses a-- and you'll get that management position..... PLEASE, become educated about public workers before you place the blame on unions because that is by far the problem...
Oh here we go! Everyone sees through your games, Kasich! Dont you remember your own saying when we TRIED to negotiate in the beginning? "Get on the bus or get run over by it". We knew you were just trying to look good in the public eye so you could point the finger at someone! Get a life and when you start the concessions at the top, maybe the grunt workers would be willing to talk!!!!
this is exactly why there are businesses boarded up all down south ave. And the exact reason we moved our business out of the city! Very sad but it's just not safe to even drive on the south side. Need more patrols on that street, enforce loitering and keep the thugs confined to their homes so that the city can thrive again. A crowd of people hanging out on the streets is poison and will eventually end up causing trouble..
I hate to tell you guys but this happens all the time! My brother in law was killed by two young kids when their vehicle went left of center and ran him over... The driver got absolutely NO jail time in Struthers court. As a matter of fact, the murderer is now married and has little kids of his own while he left my nephews fatherless their entire life! No value for human life at all! You go to jail for animal abuse but can kill another human and walk free... Doesnt make sense..
I smell something fishy! How in the world does this church get away with not paying their bills when the citizens of the county would have their homes foreclosed on if they didnt pay their taxes!!!! Just look at the sheriffs sale, homes are lost every day due to tax sales! I predict that if this is investigated, some officials may be in trouble. Thank you Vindicator for FINALLY shedding some light to this as it's been going on way too long. Why dont you look in to all the government hires that came from the same church???
I agree faith but you also dont make millions a year and keep feeding the wealthy while the working class continues to see decreases in pay and increases in gas and food! The problems we are facing are far beyond SB5 and this governor refuses to face them. How about starting by moving in to the mansion instead of the taxpayers footing the bill for millions of dollars in updates to your current home. Kasich, put your money where your mouth is buddy!!!!!! How about filling your gas tank up on your own dime, like I do, instead of charging the taxpayer for it when traveling to do what you were elected to do! These are all common sense things that should be first and foremost. Lead by example, is all Im saying!!!!
didnt you guys watch cnn? did you see that the republicans are giving tax breaks to the big corporations while they are attacking the middle class, working people and the poor. GE paid ZERO dollars in taxes and BANK OF AMERICA paid ZERO in taxes! Are you really serious? These are billion dollar companies that are not held to the same standards as the working class. I have to pay taxes!!! Lets start reducing the budget by taking away the "travel reimbursements" from our elected officials which amounts to over 2 mill a year. Somethings wrong here!! Im all for reductions but until EVERYONE feels the pain, this will continue to be an attack on the working people while the wealthy are skating by unharmed....
I can not wait to see how this all turns out. Political promotions and huges raises will be given to those who are not quallified and they will be rewarded for what political party they supported. Atleast a union contract spells out how to promote and keeps the wages fair across the board. I cant imagine the disaster ahead of us. Private employees and the tea party shouldnt pass judgement unless they know how the system works. If they really look in to who is hired/promoted and their qualifications, they'd change their minds! It's not the unions that are the problem. Every union in Mahoning County has taken concessions or they have faced layoffs so to place the blame on the unions is just ridiculous! Nothing but union busting! Governor can sugar coat it any way he wants.

Influential church battles back taxes

TEA Party, union members battle over bargaining
