Talk about an accident waiting to happen. The Turnpike should NEVER go immediately down to one lane from three. They're also doing this on the way to Toledo westbound. How stupid do you have to be to plan something like this? The speed limit's bumped up to 70 which means everybody's 5 to 10 mph over that. So you have traffic flying at 75-80 coming suddenly to a complete stop. Insanity.

Askmeificare, Ayn Rand called from beyond the grave, she said her books were all a joke. She thought you would have gotten the joke when she ended up taking Medicare payments after all that nonsense about "takers" in Atlas Shrugged.
Thanks for bringing this to light. Countless lives are ruined and sometimes lost due to these rogue doctors and pharmacists. A similar report in today's Washington Post talks about the abuse of the new Medicare prescription drug law by some doctors who are likewise causing misery and death among the elderly and disabled. http://www.washingtonpost.com/nationa...
"She spoke about her new-found calling — working and helping out at the Boys and Girls Club of Youngstown. I was too embarrassed to tell her I didn’t even know what that club was or that Y-town even had one." Pretty much sums up the writer's knowledge and the tripe people have to endure in this "column" week after week. Just jaw dropping consistently awful.
TERRAPINST that's right nothing to see here, let's move on. Are you freaking kidding me? The restitution of $30,000 plus from the Turnpike was just what they could PROVE he stole. This guy should have kissed the ground every day he got off work there for making freaking $50,000 a year for collecting people's tolls. Think Walmart cashier with a MUCH better union behind you. Oh, but that wasn't enough. He had to steal from us, the taxpayers and honest people who pay for the Turnpike. THEN Ginnetti, has the gall to talk about "paid the price" Bull$!** How about some truth telling? Hey, this is an elected position maybe Czar Betras can tell us who put the screws on to hire this slug.
The article wrongfully calls Grace Woods a "nursing home". Grace Woods provides assisted living and is licensed as a "residential care facility" under Ohio law. This is an unreported problem throughout the state --- assisted living/residential care facilities housing people who really need nursing home level of care. The staffing standards are much lower at RCFs than nursing homes. You get residents who wander and need almost constant supervision placed in the wrong type of facility. Sometimes it's the RCF overselling its ability to care for people just to fill all the beds. Sometimes it's the family of residents trying to save thousands of dollars a year by choosing a cheaper alternative to a true nursing home. Families need to know the difference between an assisted living/RCF and a nursing home. Unfortunately this article only muddies the waters. It would be nice if the reporter could educate him/herself before writing.
There are plenty of people who would say that because both Betras and Humphries are against something it must be good. Would you buy a used car from either of these guys?
