Mr. Kitchen was wrong to not abstain from voting in this instance.

Interesting rhetoric, Photoman. What specific steps would you suggest these decent north side citizens do to show their pride in their community?

Buzz's expertise is needed again at Forum and now more than ever. He should be restored as CEO, so the institution can cut the crippling consultant fees, charter a course out of bankruptcy and move forward again towards the profitability plan that Buzz's team outlined during his tenure.

I guess when you're trounced as a Republican--as Mark Hanni was in 2006--there's nothing to do except pretend you're a Democrat. Mark doesn't stand a chance in either party, especially not when Betras has managed the local party so effectively.

So, really it's one brother from Youngstown and one brother from Mineral Ridge, right? Why "two Youngstown brothers"?

The headline and lead paragraph here seem carefully designed to stir controversy. Without reading further, the initial impression being pushed is that the city is making a questionable gamble on untested talent.

This is unfortunate, especially since this is an important program for the area, which by all accounts Steve is well qualified to lead. Plus, the City is only spending money to hire him that he obtained in the first place.

The City has been determinedly pursuing education and consultation about deconstruction, which takes advantage of the historic and valuable assets in our vacant structures while reducing the negative environmental impacts of demolition.

Another approach to marketing this news would have been: "City awarded grant for deconstruction program; intern leads effort". This seems a more objective headline that still gets the essential points across.

What I said in the blog post was that the library was making decisions based on the input and demonstrated behavior patterns of their patrons. I'm not sure what more you're looking for from them, but I would be interested to hear specifics.
