Youngstown is one of those cities where “recover” means demolishing wide swaths of neighborhoods and turning them back into green space.

Oh, good gravy. I wonder how many votes this is expected to buy.

Okay, another hack hired by the Obama Administration. I wonder what kind of a pension he will get after serving a brief time in the Obama administration.
I know nothing about this guy and I'm gonna do a bio. But I'll bet he's another left wing hack who hasn't changed a spark-plug his entire life. If I'm wrong I'll come back and say so.
But even if he does know something about cars or the auto industry, we don't need an auto czar. I wonder how the liberals are gonna defend this.

Okay, just as I thought. Got a degree in finance (Youngstown State) and worked for several banks in the Youngstown area. He then worked for the Youngstown Community Development Agency. Sound familiar? Then he went int local politics.
I doubt if this man knows a thing about automobiles or the automobile industry. What a joke.

The Lordstown Plant should have been shutdown ages ago.
It is the only major union factory in the Ytown area.
This is all about paying the union.
The Chicago mob pays the Little Chicago mob.
We get shitty cars and the economy still sucks

Let me guess; the guy has no real experience in the automobile industry other than being a political hack?
I haven’t read anything about him; just speculating.
