If Mayor Sammarone is serious about accountability, then we should have a law requiring every city employee (including the mayor and city council) subject to random drug testing. As it stand now only the police dept. is subject to drug testing.
Probably an agreement between the state GOP and Dems, a Dem drops out in one race and a GOP drops out in another race. So both parties can focus on race that are closer.
Lets start by testing our elected officials from the Governor on down to cities and townships, because they are not tested at this time. It might be a good idea to also test the state and central committee members for all political parties as well.
Carl, your argument would be valid were it not for the loopholes and deductions that are legal in our tax system.
If the US had a tiered flat tax system with no deductions or loopholes what you claim would be true.
As it stands now there are many ultra wealthy people who make millions of dollars of income off of their investments and pay less in taxes than a person who is employed in a job making $80,000 to $120,000 per year, is that fair?
Workers for Youngstown face more oversight
The police already have GPS units in their vehicles, the mayor is calling for them in all city owned vehicles. Water Dept., Parks & Rec., etc.
