Why Lisa Antonini should resign

Bertram, you spelled "Schiavoni" incorrectly. You should check your spelling before you make another blunder like the one in this story.

I am wondering if she's a double-agent. The letter was just a bluff and the "major stuff it" was probably all part of the plan. Why wasn't Schiavoni in the running from the beginning?

She should go==if for no other reason her shady connections to Cafaro in the Oak Hill fiasco.

What more evidence than Antonini's letter does anyone need to be convinced that Mahoning County Democrats are in dire need of new leadership? I'm not sure which is more alarming - the fact that Ms. Antonini had the audacity to actually put such tripe in writing, or her apparent belief in her own ability to influence the process in Columbus.

Even if Antonini resigns, the root of the problem is the precinct committee people. We need new ones because the existing committee is in Antonini's pocket. Historically, precinct people have always been stocked with supporters of the individual wanting to be the chairperson. As long as the chairperson is easily manipulated, we will always have this problem. So Bertram, when & where do these new committee people get elected? There needs to be more publicity about these elections to allow progressive, independent fresh blood into the precints. This will send a message to people in this county and throughout the state that this county is trying to change for the better. It's time for change, it's time for hope & it's time to get rid of Antonini.

I was just in Columbus over the weekend & she is not liked there at all. Is our county's reputation not sullied enough without the likes of Antonini in power? Bertram is correct that we need a chairperson who is respected by ODP & the governor's office. A new leader who works with the mayor & governor's office would go a long way for our county and the people who live here and desperately want to help Youngstown.

Im seriously considering running for precinct committeeman, on the ticket that i hate lisa antonini, and all cafaro cronies, i think say no to cafaro should make a good slogan, how do i find out who mine is? and register to run?

I think the senate's choice sent a very clear message to the office of Lisa Antonini.

It is truely time for the party to once again come together and work for the common good of the Mahoning Valley.

I wish the best to the Senate's Democratic Cacus. I must also say "Thank You For A Job Well Done !"

Lisa's future is questionable with the investigation into the JFS move and Capri already got immunity for testimony. What does that tell us?

There have been a lot of blunders by her office in thepast. This is just another one to add to the list. At this moment it would be best if Lisa would realize she is burned out and let soemone else have the party seat. So we as Mahoning Valley Dermocrats can start rebuilding our party.

Perhaps critical thinking skills have been lost here upon some of us. I am sure Atty. Schiavoni is a fine young man. But why wasn't he in the running at the start? There is evidence of an alliance between the Cafaros and Antononi spelled out by the Vindicator, yet a conflict between her, the State Dems and others. And if this young man had no connection to Pavlik, then what? This isn't the same old politics as usual?

Same old politics as usual? But wait ... isn't the current core of the Mahoning County Democratic Party, Antonini & Company, the remnants of the Decmocrats for Change? Can someone please help me out here? What's changed?
