Bob's piano playing against the wall of sound was mind expanding, truely outstanding, His voice cut like a chainsaw, chopping down the music until it hit with a thud inside your brain, Thanks Bob.
Congressman Ryan supports higher taxes on business's and visitors to spur economic develoment. Does not sound like a logical policy. Higher taxes on visitors and business will deter them from staying in the area, which will cause a downturn in economic activity.
Why should Mahoning County pass a tax that would be used to help business's locate from Mahoning into Trumbull? How stupid do they think our government officials our?
Mr. Lynn's editorial is bias. Mahoning hotels already contribute over $500,000 a year in bed tax to the WRPA, yet his editorial doesn't mention that. What happen in Toledo, a loss of over 800 hotel rooms, would very likely happen here if there is a bed tax increase.
Mahoning County will lose more tax revenue than gain. The tax would make it higher than New York City. People who book rooms for a living consider the rate of tax and would frown on placing people here. Common sense needs to be used.
The bed tax issue comes down to a simple question: If you were traveling woud you want to stay at a place that charges you a rate of 14 and 3/4 % or drive a short way and pay much less. Over time Mahoning County would lose more tax money than gain.
Only if a small percentage of people are offended by Chief Wahoo thats reason enough for changing it to one that is inoffensive. I think Chief Wahoo is popular because its one of the last racist caricatures being used in popular media. Its hard to let go of the past but the Wahoo can no longer be seen as an inoffensive cartoon depicting a Native American its a racist caricature.

What do we get for our money?
