Citizens Walk Out on Gillam's Town Hall Meeting

One 1st Ward Citizen called Gillam's Town Hall Meeting a Disgrace...Some city officials even poked fun and made jokes about the Youngstown Citizens at Gillam's meeting.

Gillam himself even jokingly stated to the Citizens... "We don't solve the worlds problems".

The answers to the angry Citizen's questions were met with..."we will look into it",said the city officials.

Once again our City Leaders had no real answers to the problems of Youngstown.  This Gillam Town Hall Meeting was a total waste of everyone's time...

Some community leaders at last night's Youngstown 2010 event were upset when they learned that Councilman Gillam's Town Hall Meeting was held at the same time.  The scheduling conflict was viewed as an insult to Mayor Jay Williams, who sat on the 2010 panel.
