Obama visit won't be for free

YOUNGSTOWN — Those living in or near Ottumwa and Newton, Iowa, got to see and hear presidential hopeful Barack Obama at school cafeterias for free today.

Those in the Mahoning Valley who want to do the same Wednesday when the U.S. senator is at the Boardman home of Herb Washington have to pay by the hour.

For $2,300, you get to spend two hours on Washington’s property with Obama. For $1,000, you get an hour.
