A recommendation by a newspaper editor who was a guest on a radio talk show this morning

Those supporting Occupy Youngstown should occupy city council meetings, county commission meetings, school board meetings and other meetings of elected officials.

This is one of the quotes for the newspaper article.

QuoteHere is a suggestion for the Occupy Youngstown folks: You will have more impact locally if you occupy a commission meeting or a township meeting. Try it for a few months, please.

Members of Occupy Youngstown must have listened to the suggestion of the newspaper editor.  I've heard that about 8 OY members attended a recent Mill Creek Park Board meeting.

Mr. There,

FYI
Ohio EPA regulations allow contained fires for heating purposes without the need of a permit.
