Every time there is legislation where McNally has to fix one of Samarones many screw ups he doesn't show up. Don't expect to see him much

On a side note the proceedings yesterday were pathetic. Tartply is completely lost.

My friend claimed that Councilman Swierz had to rescue Janet several times during the meeting.

She was very confused and didn't know what to do next.

I wish the Forum's stay-at-home types would start attending council meetings.

I'm one of them "stay at home types" that you are referring to Jay for the very simple reason that (1) I do not drive; and (2) I'm homebound. I have never heard anyone offer to take me to any of these meetings, or I would certainly go. As to others, did it ever occure to you that they have jobs and cannot tell their bosses that they want time off to go to City Council meetings, then there are those who have businesses that they need to tend to. I think before you start throwing stones at others you need to consider their circumstance.

Everyone in Youngstown must be employed or are running their own businesses.  Things are booming.

Maybe that is why 99.999 % of the residents DO NOT attend council meetings.

Oh and by the way, since most of the residents of Youngstown do not use our  web site, we can only address those that do.
