This is how government now works. Externalizing costs in the name of JOBS and economic development. Politicians are way too addicted to creating jobs when they should be just doing those things that governement was set up to do. Roads, infrastructure, police, fire, courts, and leave the venture capital to the private sector.
Mr. Zeller, how is cutting government spending hampering economic recovery in the Mahoning valley? The job gains we are seeing now are completely a result of private investment here. Can you tell me what the economy will look like in the valley when the government debt ponzi scheme finally collapses and we have out of control inflation and riots in the streets?
Why a property tax? Should not all Poland residents share equally in the cost? I would support a tax on all Poland residents but not one on just people who own property. That is patently unfair.
Take the total amount they want to raise, divide it by the number of Poland residents and send them all a bill for that amount. NO MORE FREELOADERS WHO LIVE IN APARTMENTS!!!
What the heck is "neighborhood needs and opinion"? If you fail to pay your mortgage, don't be surprised if someone takes your house away. Time to pack up, move into an apartment and try again when you have more resources.
Pig Iron Press is due for the auction block soon as well, a result of not paying his "fair share". What about all those poor Youngstown kids who are being deprived at school because Villani won't pay up???
boardmanres, First of all, nobody in that list you gave has any authority to do anything that you propose. And that is a good thing, because if people like you across the US got their way, this country would grind to a halt and none of us would have jobs.
I am very familiar with railroads, but I do not know what kind of "permits" the rail line has to obtain to increase the number of carloads handled or to upgrade their trackage. Increasing the speed limit is a function of track condition. The track now is considered excepted by the FRA, a 25 mph limit is Class 2 track.
I am not sure what hazardous materials they wish to transport, but its probably just fracking liquids. There are no large chemical plants along the Y&S and no hazardous waste dumps either. But there may be injection wells.
This purchase is the best thing to happen to the Y&S since the railroad was built in 1903. It is a line that refuses to die, thanks in large part to Tracy Drake who never gave up on it.
But at what point do these stores just become a free for all? Is it OK if it happens once a week? What about when the word gets out (thanks Vindy) and shoplifting starts happening 30 times a day?
Following HellaBB's logic, NO property crimes should be prosecuted. Is it worth the risk of injury to stop someone from stealing your car? How about robbing your house? Just sit in a corner and let anyone just take everything you have because you are afraid?
One power subsidy too many

Home Depot’s policy on theft puzzles Boardman police
