DISCUSSION: IS ALLIANCE HOISTING THE WHITE FLAG ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT?



Democrat Councilman Steve Okey of Alliance is appealing in this video to Republican Mayor Toni Middleton to come into a partnership with Council for the economic good of Alliance.

The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) noted in an earlier report on the state of Alliance economic development. The best action going has been the recent refinancing of a bond issue to save on interest money paid out of city coffers to bondholders.

Even the fun in Alliance is affected by the dire state of the local Alliance economy. A recent festival experience some cuts because of tough economic times in Alliance.

Question: Why won't the mayor join with Council to get the economy going in Alliance?
