Foxtrot you certainly must not work with your hands. You give us blue collar types no credit to do these types of jobs safely.
One problem that I see is that the building code prohibits the reuse of building materials in new construction. The lumber is not "graded" in those old houses, so its not like that stuff can be reused directly.
Mr. Spinelli, the reasons that such projects are difficult to fund is that ALL of the governments are BROKE, and the people with jobs who pay the taxes are being SUCKED DRY. There are more pressing concerns than building an entirely new rail system that would only be used by people wishing to travel between these three cities.
Conventional passenger trains can be operated at a much lower cost and use existing infrastructure. Like Mr. Hagan I was once a locomotive engineer, and your assertion that passenger trains are "crashing into other trains" makes it sound as if the technology is unsafe. There are new regulations requiring positive train seperation that will greatly diminish the possibility of collisions. Also, train dispatchers make every effort to expedite Amtrak train movements, and while delays do sometime happen, that is not the norm.
But I suppose that for some people, when you are spending other people's money then the sky is the limit.
Unfair to the workers? Unfair to the lenders and owners as well! This will be an everyday occurrence once Obama signs cap and trade into law! Go Obama!!!
Mr. Warren and the group he represents is racist. Do you really think that the "Afrikan Village" and "Muhammad Study Group" are not racist organizations that prefer one race over another?
If there is any reason to change the name it would be because Wilson instituted the income tax and created the Federal Reserve. Those two actions are far more destructive than any racist feelings that he may have had.
When might we see the school building on McGuffey Road by Andrews Ave. demolished? It is a bit more of an eyesore and more readily visible to visitors than some of the others.
We need to rent a uhaul, load up all of Melfi's belongings and drive him to the county line and say never step foot back in this valley again. He could have singlehandedly destroyed the best thing to happen to this valley since Lordstown. What an arrogant ass!
So who do you sue if you hit a deer in the middle of the road? This woman is looking for a payday. Maybe award her reimbursement for medical bills, but give her nothing for the so called "pain and suffering", a BS term made up by lawyers to make more money.

They couldn't find someone local to do the job?
Golden parachutes are alive and well in cash strapped Youngstown!

I was afraid that either Frangos or some unknown entity from out of town would have bought it. I am glad that it is staying under local ownership!

Melfi's name will only be remembered by history as the man who let this deal fall apart.
