 Don't expect Youngstown lawmakers to do right

Only when the citizens support independent candidates for council will we see some real change.

I'm all for going back to two year terms for councilmen.  When you get a bad councilman, you are stuck with her/him for four years.

You are correct Billy.  We need a larger pool of candidates for any race in Youngstown.
