The overtime budget in the Youngstown Fire Department has skyrocketed. The department has used the year's entire overtime budget in the first five months of the year. Fire stations will be closed as needed to save the budget of the entire department.
Let's see, Mayor drives a brand new car, fire stations closing, bike path funded, can't afford plow trucks, giant new amphitheater, police numbers cut, new pedestrian plaza, homicides skyrocket . . .
Priorities straight?
Reputation of the city continues to be poor as people continue to visit and spend their money in the burbs and the population continues to drop.
