The City of Youngstown is now going to pay $125,000 to drive these workers from a parking lot which is only two blocks away.  What a waste of our tax money.

If these same workers would smoke less and walk more, they would probably be a lot healthier.

Yes this is an absolute joke. Not only do they allow them to pollute our sidewalks with cigarette butts and trash, but now we have to pay for them to be taken to there cars (2-3 blocks away). I do not believe that this company contributes  that much revenue to the city of Youngstown that warrants this kind of increase to the taxpayers.  I agree with you Jay-Maybe less smoking and more walking would make a healthier employee--I just wonder if other companies like this one pull the same tactics.
