I have watched my good friend build her business from the ground up during Covid and these funds are critical to the continued success of her dream. Please do not let her hard work in getting the Ohio Diary Farmers grant go to waste by keeping these funds frozen. These funds are not wasteful spending, they are critical to the success of her small business and the livelihoods of her family and many others.
Sara supported: Urge the USDA to Release Critical Funds for Dairy Business Innovation InitiativesA town official tried to justify eliminating the Tiger by saying Yorktown is more than just the school and it now has thriving businesses, strong neighborhoods, and a unified spirit. What thriving business… which wasn’t here when the tiger was painted cares about the tiger? Burger King? Were neighborhoods not strong when it was painted? What do they mean by strong neighborhoods? And unified spirit. Are you kidding me? Look how many people are in an uproar. No. You want to make the town look nice and grow, and that’s fine, it is beautiful, but that doesn’t mean defacing meaningful things to those who have lived here a long time. There wasn’t even a compromise to just add the town crest, it’s a huge water tower! As far as the future of Yorktown, the tower casts a shadow over the lawn of the elementary school. What do you think will have more meaning to those kids, their school mascot, or a big green Yorktown sign and a town stamp… like every other town? What’s more important, citizens of Yorktown, or outsiders so the town can grow? As if a Tiger on the water tower is stopping that. If it’s thriving so well as the town official puts it, or if others say it’s not a big deal, then you’ll have no problem leaving it alone. It’s completely unnecessary, it’s a degradation of the town, negligent on the decision makers, like nobody was going to notice. Really?
Apollo supported: Preserve the Historic Yorktown Tiger Water Tower5 generations of Tiger pride from my family!
The Tiger on the tower welcomes us all home when away and supports our “belonging spirit” on a daily basis.
We felt such pride when it was 1st placed!
KEEP OUR HISTORY….. PLEASE!!!
Sue supported: Preserve the Historic Yorktown Tiger Water TowerI love seeing Yorktown embracing new things, but, I always look at this tiger and have so many memories of growing up here come flooding back! I would love to see the tiger stay! There’s plenty of room for the other logos around him! 🐯 Let’s at least compromise.
Jessica supported: Preserve the Historic Yorktown Tiger Water TowerI have been a Yorktown resident for many years. This isn’t just a picture on a water tower! Whether it be the original tiger or the new tiger !! The TIGER is YORKTOWN !!! A symbol of home , a beacon of protection over our community! Don’t replace it with a meaningless Letter that symbolizes nothing ! The tiger stays !
Andrew supported: Preserve the Historic Yorktown Tiger Water TowerMaking Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
Ryan supported: Make Election Day a Federal Holiday in the U.S.Many teenagers, like myself, are politically educated and want a say in who rules our country. If the voting age is lowered, it means that younger voices would be heard, it would promote more voting, and possibly encourage more teens to educate themselves politically to prepare. Sixteen year olds should be allowed to vote and stand for what they believe in.
Lillis supported: Lower the National voting age to 16 in the United StatesWe have backyard chickens, and it is an amazing experience. We are able to collect and eat the most nutritious and fresh eggs. We spend more time as a family being around them. They benefit our environment. We share eggs with our neighbors and find that they are fascinated with the chickens also.
Susan supported: Legalize Backyard Chickens for Rochester Residents!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
