You do realize that the money you speak of from the counties comes from the bed tax? Only the people that stay in hotels in Mahoning and Trumbull County pay that tax. It does not come from County property taxes or anything of that sort.
Thus, a vast majority of that bed tax funding comes from travelers staying in our area, not people like you and me.
The black hole as you call it saw 77,000 passengers travel through it last year, the most since the late 90s. Parking, restaurant, vending, and car rental revenue all increased as well. Allegiant continues to grow here in Youngstown as well.
Things are far from the bleak picture you portray of the airport.
Massillon Washington and Toledo Whitmer, two big Ohio public schools, have been nailed for recruiting by the OHSAA. The number of times Ursuline and Mooney have been nailed for recruiting by the OHSAA: 0....
Hmmm, so if it is a fact, throw some names out there so we all know who you are talking about.
It does not matter who Youngstown State selects as their next President, you will continue to bash and try to degrade that fine institution of higher learning. I would love to know why each year you find it necessary to rip Youngstown State University? What did the school ever do to you?
First off gdog, it is obvious you have no clue what you are talking about,
1. The YSU Board of Trustees voted to name Dr. Cynthia Anderson President in 2010.
2. She began as President in July 2010.
3. Governor Kasich beat Governor Strickland in November 2010 and took office in January 2011.
Thus, trying to blame Kasich for the Anderson hiring is pretty pathetic of you. And it will be too bad when he is reflected in 2014 because he is doing a terrific job cleaning up Taft and Strickland's messes.
4. Have you not driven by the Wick Pollock over the past month or two??? The renovations on that mansion appear to be done.
How dare Governor Kasich do his job, clean up the mess left by Taft and Strickland, AND benefit the northern Ohio counties that helped Obama win reelection.
Someone needs to tell the Ohio Democrat Party that it was NORTHERN OHIO, the area Kasich is targeting for major transportation projects, that reelected President Obama to a 2nd term.
The region Kasich is targeting is certainly not the Republican part of the state, it is the Democrat part of the state. The Ohio Democrat Party should be thankful our Governor, who is doing a tremendous job cleaning up the left mess by Taft and Strickland, is looking to benefit these blue counties of Ohio.
Glad to see new development going downtown. Instead of ripping on the new owner of this building, he should be commended for the great work he is doing for our community.
Downtown will be just fine with or without Cedars.

Expect Kasich’s State of State this week to sound like stump speech for 2014
Nothing wrong with him touting his record which trumps the last two governors combined in just 2.5 years.

JOE SCALZO | A Solution to public-private problem?
Busy, that has got to be one of the stupidest ideas I've read regarding the public-private debate in quite some time. What on earth does that solve!?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Kasich won’t seek to lease Ohio Turnpike
Someone needs to tell the Ohio Democrat Party that it was NORTHERN OHIO, the area Kasich is targeting for major transportation projects, that reelected President Obama to a 2nd term.
