I urge someone from the bus company to respond to some of these remarks. It would be in their best interest to try to make the public aware. I also encourage the Mayor to make some response after all the bus company is in the city and provides ridership
You act as if your the only one that is paying the $4.09 for gas. You act as though your the only one thats East Ohio's bill has gone up. And so is everyones elses taxes and insurance going up. And it was your choice to buy Mark Danns house. Your putting the blame on all the wrong people. You should be blaming congress. Everyone is in the same boat as far as everything increasing. Your not the only one. Its us to us to try to make the best of it and to find other means to make ends meet. I am just a citizen that tries to be reasonable. Listen to the news, all the layoffs and jobs that are lost. Do you honestly want to see more people loose there jobs. And I don't live in paradise, but if you brought Danns house you must do.
No, the W.R.T.A does not have the money to continue operating.
And to all residents of Youngstown, please try to understand this,you will no longer have to pay property tax if the W.R.T.A Levy passes. VOTE YES!
No the WRTA willnot be building a new terminal,
The Salvation Army Building, The Federal Government gave grant money for this project.Grant money CANNOT be used for operating expenses. And besides, that building was a huge eye sore, vandalized, homeless people using it for shelter. Don't you think theres enough abandoned houses and buildings throughout the city of youngstown. The city needs to do more to bring jobs to the youngstown area, the mayor should be helping the WRTA.
sure vote no, have another business close down. Add another abandoned building, Add another 50 to 100 more people to the unemployment lines, force them to move out of town, out of state because there arn't any jobs here. Some people to try to get ahead and do the right thing and work for a living, Well Gee I Guess they would if they had TRANSPORTATION to get to other locations. And what about those residents that rely on public transportation to get them too and from doctor appointments and jobs. and trying to make aliving for themselves to put food on the table,a roof over their childrens head that cant afford a car.
And WRTA is trying to expand their service to outlying communities, why to you think their going for a countywide tax. They have met with the officials from the outlying communties. And yes gas is very expensive, but they can't expand without the levy passing to generate money to operate. They didnt want to cut services, they had no choice, nor did they want to cut Saturday service. Night service was funded by a grant, it ran out.
One last thing, alot of youngstown residents travel to the outskirts into the Austintown and Boardman shopping areas on the buses. They spend their working dollars at these businesses. The money that they spend circulates into your townships which generates money for your towns.
If the levy were to pass, it will not make anyone poor, do the math, it will not break you. Think of other people that are still able to use the buses to get to and from work, our seniors, our children to doctors, to buy groceries. Don't let these negative people influence your decision to vote. Sit down figure out what it would cost you, you would be surprised. And don't we teach our children not to listen to heresay, but to facts only.
And as far as the city of Youngstown and their water tax,that has nothing to do with the WRTA, you need to contact the Mayor.
Passage of county sales tax levy would keep WRTA rolling
