Officials discuss cooperative effort

YOUNGSTOWN — Getting everyone working toward the same goals seems like a simple enough concept, but Mahoning Valley elected officials acknowledge they don’t always do this.

Ryan organized a meeting today of local elected officials including Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams, Warren Mayor Michael O’Brien, Mahoning County Commissioner Anthony Traficanti, Trumbull County Commissioner Paul Heltzel and members of the state Legislature from the Valley.
