Iwasthere, with due respect what are you and your assoc. Doing actively to throw the bums out?

[iwasthere]

cronyism must be swept out of ytown cityhall.

[Youngstownshrimp]

Iwasthere the City is moving forward, we have better leadership like the Mayor at the top and Marty Hume, the Law Director, true we need to get rid of the old unqualified guard.

[iwasthere]

Iwasthere, please elaborate ?

I have attended council meetings or neighborhood meetings in the past with these individuals concerning city matters that left me less of a fan of theirs due to their answers and lack of professionalism with their demeanor for the people of ytown.

Nick,  I know.  First of all D'avignon has no qualifications as a planner, community developer and definitely no background in real estate.  But he in the past decade or so managed the Youngstown Land Bank poorly, these are facts.

He turned the job down

[Nicholas Serra]

Demoted implies some kind of wrongdoing. This whole thread implies a negative connotation. If you have two qualified people and only one space to fill, one of those people is not going to get the job. Hell, they could have both been equally qualified and a coin needed to be flipped to decide hah. Who knows.

At least Nick Engaged TT?

[Youngstownshrimp]

Why the spin?  He was Director of CDA for years first under Williams, now CDA and ED merged, two heads, the Mayor selected the better and more qualified one for Director.  What does Deputy mean anyway?

[Nicholas Serra]

"Didn't get a new job" sounds appropriate.

[Youngstownshrimp]

Well , please explain in your words?

[Nicholas Serra]

By your explanation demoted is not the correct choice of words.

[Youngstownshrimp]

Iwasthere, please elaborate ?
