Patriot and ODNR face off

We could use some brine water on the city streets tonight. Evidently, there is no salt left in Youngstown or there are no employees to spread it. Pathetic!!!! Just a sheet of ice. Lots of business for the body shops

Papal resignations over history

He didn't accomplish much except put his butler in "jail". I would still like to see what the butler "leaked". Probably something to do with corruption in the Vatican. It wouldn't be the first time and it won't be the last time. Everything is corrupt in the church. And that is why no one cares to belong any longer.

Franciscan accused of sex crimes at JFK commits suicide

Technically, pedophiles molest children under 11 years old but I am sure that there is little distinction for the 14 year olds molested by this sexual deviant. The church knew he had problems before and again moved him so he could cause lasting problems on more young people. The catholic church hates gays which is one of the problems. The catholic church is a divisive organization and only wants narrow minded followers. I think it is ironic that they fought Obama but luckily, the catholics did not get their way. They are so worried about the unborn but they certainly don't care about the molested born. The bishop or Youngstown has convinced himself that he is doing enough but why are there no sermons on Sunday? They had sermons about voting against Obama which is a violation of the separation of church and state but they do not want to talk about the molestation by the clergy and the money they have to spend to coverup all their deviants. Don't give me the argument that it is just a few. Boston, LA, Connecticut, Philadelphia, etc. In all these places, the churches and schools of brainwashing are closing. Hopefully, they won't be able to get insurance and they will have to close permanently all their schools and churches. Luckily, young people are not buying it. Maybe, the priests should stop wearing dresses. They won't let women be priests but they wear dresses. Weird. Again, those who are supporting the church should let their children be molested by the religious and see how you like it. Also, give your hard earned money to support this behavior and then, ask yourself why.

Franciscan accused of sex crimes at JFK commits suicide

These people who are critical of the victims should think about their own children or grandchildren in the same situation. If you think it is no big deal and they are doing it just for money, then why don't you offer your children or grandchildren to one of the many pedophile priests. This is not about homosexuality. It is about pedophilia and all the catholic church has done is try to protect their hierarchy. The pedophile church paid $85 million to the Boston diocese because they had so many pedophile priests. LA diocese now admits they transferred pedophiles and all the cardinal says is "I am sorry." Now, there is a priest in Connecticut who sold drugs and had a sex shop. Tell me that it is only a few bad priests. It is the culture of this disgusting organization. I hope young people leave it forever. Don't worry about the money . The Vatican has plenty, but, of course, they do not get involved in these things. They only are there to tell US catholics what to believe and when they stop worrying about the unborn and worry about the ones who were already born and abused, maybe they will take some responsibility for their actions. Baker is a coward because he knew he would be killed in prison so he took the easy way out. I was born a catholic, brainwashed, and then, realized how corrupt this organization is. Wake up, catholics. They even tormented nuns who wanted to help the poor. Think about that one!

Bishop pledges transparency about sexual abuse allegations

What about the victims? George still thinks it is all about the sinner. It is about the victims, George. They are your flock. You need to protect them. The sinner still denies doing any wrong. He's bluffing just like the poker player he is. Ask the JFK alumni in Warren. They will tell you what really happened.

Local schools feel the pinch from loss of state funding

You all need to look at what other school districts are doing outside the Mahoning Valley. Look at Clinton-Massie school district for example. They have saved over 1.5 million by reducing staff and cutting expenses. They are using more electronic presentations and they have an agreement with Urbana College for their high school students to take courses there for $50 per course. Their goal is to accelerate education and quit doing those things that they don't need to do anyway. By the way they are Excellent with Distinction the last two years. Don't blame Kasich. The problem is yours. And you need to solve it.

Schools need support to do best

The school district just south of Poland has a 1% traditional income tax. This tax is identical in coverage to the traditional Ohio income tax except it is a straight 1%. The school district just east of your SD in PA probably has a earned income tax because that is the only local income tax allowed in PA. Sebring LSD in southern Mahoning county also has an 1% earned income tax. I just think that an earned income tax is fairer because retired folks are on a "fixed income" and have already contributed for years to their local school district by paying property tax. But you all can decide what you want in your SD. But the income tax should replace some property tax. That was the intent of allowing a SD to obtain revenue from an income tax.

CompMan is right. If this is a 1% "traditional" income tax then pension and retirement distributions, which are state income taxable in Ohio (Not so in PA), will require additional taxes to be paid by retired folks. It would have been much better to limited this added income tax to earned income only. That way folks on "fixed income" don't get punished some more. They are already being punished with almost zero interest on CD's. Now you want to tax them more.

Otherwise, Brookfield LSD deserves credit for being the first SD in Trumbull County to ask the voters to approve an income tax instead of property tax levy. Income tax is much fairer than property tax but it would have been better to be earned income tax.
