Life in Dave’s World

Life in Dave’s World

EDITOR:

Imagine if we all lived in Dave’s World (Betras that is). Everyone like the auto industry would get a bailout check and private developers not begging for government freebies like the casino groups would be exiled to places like Pittsburgh. Oh, I forgot, they just opened a beautiful new casino on the river by Heinz Field.

We could all live in poverty ... not just a few. Forget the fact that Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo all just cracked the U.S. poverty top ten.

Everyone in townships outside of Youngstown could boycott the Covelli Center. After all, they didn’t get a convention center built for them.

Initiative like that shown by those working to get Issue 3 passed would be crushed, and whining would be the official language. After all, Dave could have led the charge for a Youngstown casino and could in the future lead a similar campaign, but that would require effort.

High unemployment with extended benefits would be law, jealousy the religion and Marc Dann would officially be crowned a good guy who got a bad rap.
