Canton Chamber has 'no idea' what Kimble's talking about on plan opposition

CANTON

The vice president for public policy at the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce said that organization has not endorsed the Youngstown School Board’s effort against the Youngstown Plan.

“I have no idea where this came from,” said David Kaminski this morning. “We have not discussed this. There’s been no vote at the board, no vote at the education committee. It hasn’t even been a topic for us except maybe in some casual conversation.”

Brenda Kimble, Youngstown school board president, announced during Tuesday's school board meeting that the Canton Chamber had supported the board’s filing a lawsuit to stop the Youngstown Plan, the law that would allow a chief executive officer to be appointed to manage and operate the Youngstown schools.

“This is out of whole cloth,” Kaminski said.
