Trafficant is nothing more than another corrupt politician from the Valley. Has everyone forgotten that he is a convicted felon? Has everyone forgotten he was the laughing stock of late night c-span? Has everyone forgotten he is the primary reason the Valley received so little in federal and state dollars during his tenure? Once again, the national and regional new media has picked-up on the glorification of Jim Trafficant by his loyal and obviously not-too-bright followers. They are laughing at us for our blind stupidity and assume the majority of the Valley loves him. Tim Ryan has brought more to the Valley in the form of positive national attention and federal dollars than Jimbo ever did. Jim Trafficant is a crook - nothing more,nothing less. The more coveage the media gives him, the more his dull followers feel validated in praising him.
Even worse than maldonado and domhoff being union thugs is the ysu administration being clueless and incompetent. unbelievably good public relations for a city than is the number one dying city in the country. keep up the good work all of you that are about "give me mine and the hell with everyone else."
Hopefully, the arbiter will see that Maldonado, under the cover of office, tampered with the classification system to benefit himself. However, does anyone else in the union benefit from Maldonado's handi-work? Will the arbiter take the contamination of the entire classification system under advisement or does he only look at Maldonado's position. Perhaps, the aribiter will find this a criminal matter and not a contract issue within his jurisdiction!! Let's hope so!!
buckeye - you are the idiot!! bush and the republicans created this mess and now obama is working both sides of the aisle to solve a multitude of problems. the republicans and plently of uninformed folks like you are obstructionists who are so blinded by partisan politics that you spew negativism without knowing the facts. obama is three weeks into his administration. why don't you give him a whole month before you call him a failure?
The Youngstown Bomb Squad is a group of professional and exempliary police officers. The squad commander, Detective Sergeant Joe DeMatteo, who also serves as the Crime Lab Commander, is a class act and a real gentleman. He deserves tremendous credit for the skill and professionalism of the squad and its members. Bravo, Bomb Squad!!!!!!!!!!! Also, Detective Sergeant DeMatteo's skill and dedication to duty were paramount in solving the Gina Tenney cold case and getting her killer convicted. Congrats!!!
It looks like a lot of people were asleep at the switch while Maldonada committed fraud. How can anyone justify paying a payroll clerk $82k a year or even $62k a year. It makes a person wonder who is responsible for hiring incompetent people like Bickley (fired HR chief). Hopefully, YSU has the smarts to get Maldonado out of his current payroll clerk position and into a job that requires him to do work that justifies his pay. Heck, a lot of very capable faculty are not making the kind of money he is getting.
it looks like the trustees are finally waking up to the attempts of the cabinet and the union to keep them in the dark about matters that they need to properly govern the university. the union members must now also see how self serving their leadership is. is now the time for both the trustees and the union to clean house?
you seem to suggest that maldonado simply allowed this abomination to occur. how naive! i'd bet good money he orchestrated the entire shame with or without bickley's help.
