Title: Crumbling Sidewalks In Downtown Youngstown
Post by: jay on March 15, 2011, 06:43:23 AM
Some of the sidewalks along East Federal Street are crumbling.

It's time to have a public works project to repair these sidewalks for the safety of pedestrians and to enhance the beauty of downtown Youngstown.

We're trying to eliminate public sector unions so that cities like Youngstown can afford to hire the workers to fix problems like this.   Just not feasible to have one of those highly paid unionized city workers out there doing it.   All those WPA workers during the depression were not unionized and look what they accomplished with limited resources.
