There is something wrong with our justice system when anyone can steal $46,000 and get a slap on the wrist and say you have been a naughty girl and you must promise never to do it again!!! There is no good reason to steal, and all that money for medication over 2 years??? No way....take her to civil court and make her pay back the $46000 over 10 years. Don't encourage others to steal without penalty
Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court noted that "drug and property crimes are most closely linked to poverty.
“Because our poverty is more dramatic in this community than most, our crime rate is higher,” he said.
“People in poverty oftentimes find themselves longing, not only for the finer things in life, but the basic necessities of life and are often frustrated because of their poverty,” the judge added.
Judge Krichbaum states above that drugs and property crimes are linked to poverty, then continues that the poor long for the finer things in life. Okay, I can agree with property crimes, but since when do drug crimes provide one of the finer things in life?
Mr. Achkar has been the only one I trusted with my antique jewelry. He took an old gold watch, which hadn't worked in 30 years, and fixed it by hand and it has worked ever since. Have lots of fun in your retirement. You will be missed
I have met Billie Jean at a dog party, and she is a great dog, and loves to play with other dogs and has a great home and friends who love her. I am honored to say I know the dog and all involved in saving her. BRAVO!
The Vindicator should have gone to a local jewelry store in the comparison. I have sold my gold at my "family" jeweler, and the price was based on the cost of gold at the beginning of the day. did not include melting down price, 14 vs 18 kt gold, or price changes in. the market
Has anyone ever thought that instead of spending your time either agreeing or disagreeing with what has happened, you send whatever you can, be it $10 or $100 or however much you can afford to the Youngstown Playhouse, and they would be well on their way to erradicating what is owed to the IRS. If everyone who has been touched by the Playhouse did that, it would be wonderful. As to how it happened, it doesn't matter now. It has happened and there is enough blame to go around; from the general manager to the board of directors to the general public who haven't supported his wonderful institution by donations or going to the great shows that have been produced in the last 3 years.
I will only post once, and only because of the accusations that have no facts to back them up. 1st...What the Playhouse gives back to the community is entertainment, pure and simple. 2nd....The Playhouse is not continually being "bailed out" It happened 5 years ago and the problem now is because of an unfortunate natural disaster. 3rd....The community has not given the Playhouse "millions and millions" of dollars in recent years. Yes, the community has been generous, in the thousands, not anywhere close to even 1/2 million dollars. That is all I have to say.
