Mayoral Appointees

Maybe you can tell that to the citizens whose homes were burglarized in the past few months.  Most of them were senior citizens.  There were 27 burglaries in a 1 month period in a section of one side of town.

It would be nice to clean up the blight, but we think there are more urgent issues that need to be addressed immediately.  Putting the thugs in jails and punishing them for THEIR crimes seem to be on the top of most people's list. We pay dearly for their crimes: paying to fix broken doors and windows, cleaning the mess, losing sentimental items, living in fear everytime we leave the house thinking we'll be hit again, etc.

How about the creation of jobs with better pay scales so that people can support their families and afford hospitalization.

Only time will tell whether a million to remove blight will make the lives of the people of Youngstown any better.

Mayor Williams kept too many department heads from the previous administration.   McKelvey and his staff were clueless in terms of solving the problems of Youngstown.

Last time I checked, Jay has many different ideas than McKelvey.
Crime is at a lesser point this time than last year.... More blight is being removed isn't it DA??? 1 million dollars worth.

I like it but I do Hope Jay can get Bob Bush a job..... Let's hope he will get back into law or find a job in the county or university... He is vital to the area.

But JAY made great choices.

Who is on the Jay Williams' cabinet selection committee?  The names seem to be the best kept secret in the city.

Are there any guesses for the cabinet appointments under the new mayor?

A recent rumor feels the CDA director will come from the Planning Department's existing staff.
