Mayor Sammarone To Run For President Of Council

[iwasthere]

i heard tonight at superbowl party. there were two candidates from the grn party circulating petitions for cp position at the monthly veggie dinner.

Sorry, but I did not attend that meeting.  The only other information is that a woman had the petition.  I do not know if she is the candidate or is only circulating the petition on behalf of the candidate.

Maybe the Republicans are going to have a candidate after all.

Can you say a name?  Jay, I don't know what your problem is, but this is not the first time you post something basically incomplete and seems more a rumor than a statement thought out.

Someone wanting to run for President of Council was making the rounds at west side meetings this weekend.

According to a story in the Thursday Youngstown newspaper,  no republicans have filed to run for Mayor or President of Council in Youngstown.

On Friday, January 25, Mayor Sammarone was to have filed his nominating petitons for President of Council with the Board of Elections.

No other candidates have filed for this position.  The February 6 filing deadline is fast approaching.

Looks as though Sammarone will be President of Council again after an uncontested election.

As a resident of the west side, Mr. Sammarone did not attended meetings of west side organizations.

Sam Malone? didn't he run that bar "Cheers" in Boston?

[Rick Rowlands]

I wonder how many Youngstown residents think the name of their mayor is Sam Marone?

To old man Charlie Sammarone:

Pack it in you old geezer and take your retirement with a semblence of grace, because your best days have come and gone.

cs is not a shoo in as ytown poc. ytown residents might show him the door.

[jay]

Some politicians should just retire (without double dipping) and let younger people have a try at governing this city.

[iwasthere]

a grn party member is seriously thinking about tossing his hat in the ring, a st rumor.

[jay]

No other person has been mentioned for this office.

Will the other parties run a candidate?

Is there an independent who would be willing to run for President of Council?

TT, I agree.....if you want to spend more time at home, you retire....I guess the president of council job must be a very good gig....no work, no real responsibilities, a good paycheck, and a good pension to boot.
