Youngstown City Council Meeting - Wednesday, September 19

[Towntalk]

IRRELIVENT ... The people that attend council meetings are GUESTS and EXPECTED TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER PERIOD.!

Whether you like it or not Council Meetings ARE NOT FREE FOR ALL events where anything goes. You might not agree with a single thing Council is doing, BUT YOU MUST BEHAVE OR BE THROWN OUT!

IF YOU WANT TO PROTEST THEN DO IT OUTSIDE WHERE YOU CAN YELL ALL YOU WANT,  NOT IN AN OFFICIAL COUNCIL MEETING.

tt, she was not yelling at council when she was escorted out she yelled out that the mayor is bought out by the gas and oil coms. she did lay on the council chambers floor as a form of protest, no big deal.

[Towntalk]

As to the woman that was thrown out of the council meeting:

  Before they spoke, a woman in the crowd was escorted out of the meeting by security when she started yelling at council.   



No legislative body tolerates this sort of conduct.

this is a message for ytown elected officials, WE VOTED YOU IN WE CAN VOTE YOU OUT!

Mr. There,

How many signatures are needed to recall a councilman?

The Mayor has been unfortunate to be in command when the money has run out on the City.  Aside from riding heard on the City employees, selling off the Covelli center, he knows it is not enough to keep the City solvent.  He is smart to see that the entire eastern Ohio is leasing off the mineral rights below the counties and he will lead his government to tap into the massive revenue stream to place Youngstown back on top of the industrial world.  For thirty years he has watched the decline of Youngstown , spiralling into a third world City.  The liberal democrat experiment in socialism did not bring Youngstown out of the dark ages.  As with most of the democrats of the Valley, he is breaking ranks and returning to  the Valley's roots of conservative democrats.  These roots are what made Youngstown once an industrial giant.  There is no turning back from the massive onslaught of free enterprise backed by billions of global money to industrialize Youngstown once more.

[Towntalk]

The woman taken out by security was part of the anti-fracking group.

this council will vote to sell our mineral rights by next council meeting. council by putting the mr for second reading is another stall tatic to appease the ytown residents. ytown residents be aware council can call an emergency council meeting by friday nite to pass this resolution. 7th wc is in favor of fracking he has said so at several previous bws in the past. this is a message for ytown elected officials, WE VOTED YOU IN WE CAN VOTE YOU OUT!

On another note about the council meeting tonight in ref. to the selling of our water rights.
1, The Mayor clearly stated  more then once that he asked council what they thought about the drilling at Meander and he (the Mayor) said all council agreed that he should go ahead with it,. THAT FOLKS WAS A MONTH AGO--So did any councilmember's hold a public forum for there area and ask what the residents thought about all this?--Mine did not The Mayor even said if 4-or more did not agree with him he would have taken it off the table. However, they did not.
2.  Bob Hagan was able to speak and then took a response back from Annie Gilliam. She referred to how we have been selling Lumbar off for years (Trees). OK Are you serious with that...Trees--Granted as a board member of Treez Please I am not big with this practice-But last I checked Lumbar was not toxicifying (new word)my community. I could be a tad wrong on that but I doubt....
3. Thank you City Council for letting Bob Hagan speak.
To the council members we as citizen's voted you into office to be our voice, So take my voice into consideration ---You don't know how we all feel--Hold meetings, get the opinions of others--put it to a vote---That is Democracy and that is how it's supposed to be--We the People-Not as One but the Voice of Everyone...
An to the Mayor--Thank you for addressing everyone tonight in regards to getting involved and showing up at meetings. Guilty that was only my 3^rd council meeting ever attended. Your right people have to get involved. It is up to the citizens to be Pro-Active and attend these meetings.

Mayor Samarone was quite angry with council today.  It's too bad not one councilman replied to his scolding.

[Rushblvd]

After the meeting an audience member asked the security guard why she was removed, they were directed to ask YPD.
Not sure why she was removed she was not being disruptive

[jay]

A woman in the audience was removed by several security officers.
