Mahoning Valley Forum

iwt is attdiing the annual boardman rotary chili cook off tom. i might not make council meeting.

Please post the agenda for this council meeting.

SEE LINK FOR AGENDA.


The battle rages on between Gillam and Tarpley vs. the Mayor and Law Director and it will not end until Gillam and Tarpley either get their way or this session of Council comes to an end and they are no longer factors.

Both Gillam and Tarpley have been thorns in the sides of the Mayors all year ... malcontents who wanted to place themselves above the duly elected Mayor, yet did absolutely nothing for the wards that they were elected to represent.

Without any question, if Youngstown is to move forward, it will only be accomplished once Gillam and Tarpley are gone.

As to the position of "Plaza Director", it would be better for all concerned if that position were abolished and the duties placed in the office of the Parks and Recreation Department where it rightfully belongs., but even if it were not even that would shut Gillam and Tarpley up.

The reporter makes it appear as though there is only one item on the agenda.

As usual, other important items are not mentioned. :P

Hmmm... let's see.... city law directory has already read the charter and told the
Mayor that council has no authority to hire for this position, only to hire its own
clerks.

The Mayor sits on the board of control, so Gillam and Tarpley are NOT gonna get
that $40,000 for outside legal aid.  LET THEM RAISE THEIR OWN MONEY IF THEY
WANNA THROW TANTRUMS AND FIGHT THE CITY CHARTER OVER SOMETHING SO
ABSURDLY SMALL AS HIRING FOR A POSITION THAT HAS A HEAD COUNT OF "ONE".

The more the Mayor stands up to these self-serving idiots and wins, the more it
tickles me pink and makes them look bad.

;D

Certain council persons are constantly going 10-100.

A friend who attended the council meeting said that Janet Tarpley was her usual self.  She didn't know what the heck she was doing as president protem.

i hope tarpley was taped this evening to show the ytown residents how incompetent she is to hold this prestige council position. i would like to watch this circus sideshow. did john mcnally recieve the nod to hire a 'PARTY GAL' event director.

IN A 4 to 3 VOTE THE PLOT AGAINST THE MAYOR FOILED.

When will the Youngstown Happenings video be posted so we all could see what happened at the meeting?

i read the vindy article and i wonder why nate p chged his vote on the third reading of this issue.? tarpley had a 'enlighten' moment.  what made her came to her senses that their are other more imp city issues to work with ytown mayor, jm?  maybe she is dealing with a mayor that knows the law due to his previous backgrd as lawyer and mah cty com.

Maybe?

;D

You hit it right on the head.... LOL

Where is the video of this council meeting?

Looks like we may not get one.

It's a convoluted conspiracy to hide the facts away from the public.

ARISE WITH A MIGHTY ROAR OF INDIGNATION AND DEMAND THAT OUR SERVANTS [CITY COUNCIL] BENDS TO OUR ALMIGHTY WILL!

If you asked me, them city hall people are real twits.

It has to take an british comedy to explain ytown city hall leaders. ::)

Oh the bloody shame of it all.

Still waiting for the video of this meeting   ::)

The people that run Youngstown Happening are deliberately hiding something that they don't want seen.
WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?
WHO ARE THEY COVERING UP FOR?
I for one will not hold my breath waiting for an honest answer.

Still no video of this meeting

We need reliable media in this city.
