Not much left of our dear old Armstrong. I listen to the commissioners and I get a big laugh......Most I ever here is
"We're working on it" Sad to see downtown Kittanning almost gone....."They" said it would happen!
Building a new big jail...But Jim said "No hiring" So sad that we need BIGGER jails instead of "Productive JOBS"
I know lots of people out of work and do not want to leave Armstrong County "HOME". But sad to say, after all this time of "We're working on it" Lots of our Productive Workers are moving, leaving, sadly because Armstrong County is becoming the "Ghost".....We need our young people to stay. We need to build our area back to "Booming" again.
Yes Jim you have a job, you have retirement.......So you really don't care about ARMSTRONG County..Maybe just wondering where your next FREE meal is coming from.......I am angry,yes......The power behind the "mouth" is just "HOT AIR". I believed in you, believed you when you were going to Fight for Armstrong County, and I should have known that the fight was only for a EAST JOB FOR JIM..
I wish I were wrong.......As the U-haul come in ,and the "Good People" of Armstrong County find jobs in other states, etc..... Jim will still be here, drawing a paycheck from our hard earned taxes..............
Tell me Armstrong County Citizens.....How do you all feel about jobs for our people!
