Would that Cleveland’s mayor did the same:
Mr. Skolnick identified changes instituted or proposed with the Human Relations Commission, the Park & Recreation Commission, and the Human Resources Department within the City of Youngstown. What Mr. Skolnick failed to communicate in detail, were the very serious problems surrounding each of the agencies that have existed for many years.
While I may only be completing my second year as the Mayor, I have worked in city government much longer. During that time I have clearly seen the severe problems that exist when boards, commissions, or agencies, are allowed to operate without appropriate oversight by the citizens and the officials that they elect. Often, the citizens have no idea of who the persons on those boards are, how they got there, or what their duties and responsibilities are.
Every reasonable citizen that I have spoken with about this issue agrees that no public body should operate with virtual impunity.
