In the City of Hazleton Municipal races for Mayor and City Council, Mayor Joe Yannuzzi and Councilwoman Evelyn Graham placed this ad in the Standard Speaker to highlight the amount of jobs both officials created in Hazleton during their lifetimes.
Yannuzzi created several companies that continue to operate today. Yannuzzi Inc., Yannuzzi Plumbing and Heating, J Distributing, and Crossroad Computers were started by Joe Yannuzzi and still operate today in some capacity. Yannuzzi Inc. and Crossroad Computers continue to operated under their same name. Yannuzzi Plumbing and Heating is now part of Zola's Plumbing and Heating. J Distributing is now YOU Trucking.
Evelyn Graham and her late husband, Seymour started Kama Plastics in the Heights Section of Hazleton. Eventually the company was sold to Alcoa who then sold it to Multi-Plastics, Inc.
The amount of jobs remaining in Hazleton from those business startups is at least 250 jobs.
Their opponents have no job creation experience or any adminstration experience. Grace Cuozzo has refused to answer the question surrounding her Social Security Disability award, however she has not held a job in decades according to her State Ethics Commission filings. Her inexperience in any management position as well as any elected governmental position cannot be ignored in applying for the lead job in Hazleton.
John Medashefski opposed portions of the Illegal Immigration Relief Ordinance that is very popular with most voters in Hazleton. Past remarks by Medashefski regarding the direction from the city's chief executive supports the following assessment.
Yannuzzi's experience and leadership speak volumes to the reason voters in Hazleton should re-elect Yannuzzi to the position of Mayor. Yannuzzi has brought the compliment of officers in the Hazleton Police Department back to 40. He has added two additional code enforcement officers and one health officer to help with the City's enforcement.
Yannuzzi announced that the deficit spending of the last few years has been stopped in the year 2010. It appears that financial results will have the city breaking even when compared to its budget.
Yannuzzi brought in the Pennsylvania Economy League to look at all operations of the City of Hazleton and asked for recommendations. Their overall examination will be reported in the future and can provide a blueprint to keep Hazleton's operations in the black.
The candidates will face off in a debate to be aired on Channel 13. Let's see if Cuozzo can act like a proper person and leave the name calling at the door.
Graham's accomplishments in the Hazleton area are too numerous to mention. Her generosity and committment to Hazleton residents make her re-election an almost certain victory.
Polling numbers for both Yannuzzi and Graham show significant leads, however they intend on campaigning right up until the polls close.
