The only way Youngstown can 'fight back' is remove the idiots that pretend they are 'in charge' and run and hide behind their speechwriters when something tragic like this happens. I just can't believe that the people of Youngstown think they are being protected by this dimwits.
Let's see - and HOW many elderly people have they found DEAD in the snow from shoveling their driveways? Yea, fine them. They should be out there shoveling. Some people are clueless - this snow is excessive. Comply or DIE. Please.....show some common sense.
I agree - I hope he never needs to 'test' out the theory of no firestation, or limited firefighters. Maybe he should ride-along and see what happens first hand - and then think what if it were his house? But then again, thinking must be a novel concept on his part.....
I spent last week in the Youngstown area to take care of my mother. I live in the Washington, DC area, and it's no WONDER Youngstown made the so-called "Forbes list". Gas was more expensive in Youngstown, as was food than in the Washington DC area! Historically, the Youngstown area has been SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. Now, it outdoes DC by a storm! It's almost like they're trying to drive people out of the area, and make things MORE difficult for them!
I did see more SOLD signs in front of houses than I've seen in almost a year, so to me - that is a sign of improvement.
Too many people believe everything they read - and of course EVERYTHING that's on the internet is truth. NOT!
I'm not sure why the Youngstown area is so much more expensive than DC - I'd talk to your government politicians as to what THEY think the future of Youngstown really is.....
I went to the website. EASY refueling at your local Hydrogen refueling center. Going to be a while before anyone in Youngstown gets one, since the closest refueling facility is in Columbus! Now, if you were in California or Canada, you're in good shape!
Must be a REALLY slow news week for this to be such a 'hit' on vinday.com!!
BTW: whatever happened to the idiot who drug the person down Midlothian under his car, thru the McDonald's drive-thru, and then took off? Never hear anything about that, other than he was arrested.
I now live in Maryland, and it is a non-smoking state. They tried banning it everywhere except bars, but the bars were required to 'isolate' the areas from the general patrons. Since there were numerous violations, the policians did it statewide.
Everyone here keeps saying it's "Ohio". It's not only Ohio - do a search in Google on "List of smoking bans in the United States" and see how many states completely banned smoking. (If I remember correctly, either California or NY were the first states to completely go no-smoking).
Is there ANY information as to what REALLY happened, other than failing to stop at an accident? Was it in the parking lot? Was it REALLY an accident (that he didn't see the guy) or on purpose (pissed off, and tried to bump him, but got carried away). Anyone???
As a former resident of the Y-town area, and a current resident in a county in Maryland that has these cameras just about EVERYWHERE.... well, they don't work. Yep - we've gotten two of these so-called 'administrative fee tickets' (complete with the photo of our car). But the best is that the local high school kids have a great way of using this system to their advantage. They've created with their computer, and their software application, a duplicate of a license plate - the plate of someone they don't like. They stick that OVER the license of a car that is VERY Similar to the one that specific 'target' drives, and go speeding thru the traffic camera! The kid, or the parent, gets a ticket for a place there were not even at! Nor was it their car! But try explaining that to local law enforcement, since they weren't there to witness it. (The camera only takes a picture of the back of the car, not a photo of the person driving it.) Good for you Warren! Don't let these Baltimorons sucker you into this!

Do you think people should be fined for not shoveling their sidewalks?
Let's see - and HOW many elderly people have they found DEAD in the snow from shoveling their driveways? Yea, fine them. They should be out there shoveling. Some people are clueless - this snow is excessive. Comply or DIE. Please.....show some common sense.

Would you consider buying the new electric Chevrolet Volt, expected to cost about $40,000 with a $7,500 tax credit?

No-smoking crackdown fires up some bar owners
