The Tallmadge Chamber of Commerce is a group of 180 Tallmadge area businesses and non-profit organizations joined together to advance the local economy and business environment.

Well, here we go, again; A school levy fails, than it will reappear on the next ballot. As a previous writer commented, it's time to think "outside the box" while trying to resolve the impasse between those favoring a levy and those opposed. There are good arguments on both side of the issue, but a fundamental fact is that those... 

Well her is an article from the website YAHOO! about some people who have used their educations to come up with some creative ideas for helping the education process, fund the school without additional taxes and eliminating the "fluff" that has no real bearing on education. Schools need to getr back to the "bricks and mortar" of education and not... 

Was there an ulterior motive for not promoting voting on Tuesday? No signs were posted in neighbors yards and no "vote" signs displayed surrounding the circle. Of the students attending school sports are for the select few, so why shouldn't they expect to "pay to play" since it is their choice to participate in sports? In the 60's thru the... 

Well, here we are folks,levy time again, frankly I see nothing wrong with the cuts the school board has made, perhaps they should have been operating this way all along and they might not be in this mess. I see nothing wrong with cluster bus stops,larger classes,elimination of some aids and teachers. what's wrong with pay-to participate? If you choose... 

Just a thought for our school board to ponder. In the past twelve month's many of us working class people have gotten our annual pay raise, many on the average of 3 to 4%. Now, for fun, lets do the... 

Thank you to Mr. Davis for an awesome performance by our first grade students this past Saturday. To think that all of the songs, which had most of us adults in stitches throughout the performance, were written by... 

May seem like a simple decision but instead of spending $3M on a new pool...can't we use the money to run our school district to the standards residents of our city have been accustomed to for many years. My first grader watched a movie in school today and explained to me tonight the difference between Want and Need. I think... 

Allow me to start out by saying that I have felt lucky to have my 4 children attend the Tallmadge public schools in the last several years. The schools have earned excellent academic ratings, the high school sports programs have been well managed, and we are well on our way to finshing the building a big beautiful new high school.... 

Tallmadge residents beware according to your mayor. There is trouble in Tallmadge City, it starts with "P" and that rhymes with "T" and that means trouble. Yep , tallmadge has been cursed, there are pool tables, and pool playing going on, right under your... 

This letter is to express my concern and dismay at what is happening at Maca Park. Yesterday, I took advantage of the nice weather and took my granddaughter for a walk to Maca Park. We thought the playground was still... 

The Tallmadge School District needs to cut deeper then $2.1 million. The Tallmadge School District has not begun to feel the pain that we retirees feel when our Tallmadge real estate tax bill comes due while our pension stays the same every month. We can not absorb any more real estate tax... 

As a husband of a Tallmadge Schools bus driver, who just found out she was going to be loosing her job ( lay-off),WHAT GULL!! Most of these drivers busted their rears off because of the recent storms, trying to get the students safely to school. And to the Tallmadge resident bus drivers, who helped vote down the school levy-"you all... 

In regards to the proposed section 8 building at Metric Drive, I read the comments made by Anthony Cariotus, an AHEPA member, who stated " I sympathize with the the neighbors, but the project is a plus for the community." I am confused. Is he not aware that the properties on Cambrian and Greenbriar are part of the community of...

For ten years I have gone through the same thing. I call the bus garage to let them know my children will be riding the bus to and from St. Matthew and I get the same... 

To reject a Resolution is not a show of support for or against the war; it is not about being a Democrat or a Republican. This issue is about freedom of speech and the role of city government. By drafting a resolution supposedly representing the views of Tallmadge, the Council is stealing our free speech for their own...

The responsibilities of council are adopting laws, establishing policies, and authorizing the expenditure of the city"s finances. As elected officials, we not only appreciate any input from our constituency, but we anticipate...
