We are used to govern- ment, especially at the local level, acting in mysterious ways. But the decision by Youngstown Mayor Jamael Tito Brown to launch a new grass-cutting program that isn’t delivering as much as the one that was in place from 2015 to 2017 is a real head-scratcher.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Youngstown, in collaboration with the McGuffey Centre, will offer summer programming at the McGuffey Centre, 1649 Jacobs Road, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday from June 18 through Aug. 17.

There were issues between Youngstown Mayor Jamael Tito Brown and members of city council before the election.

Youngstown City Council did not make a decision Wednesday night on the contracts for grass cutting.

City council members expressed concern over the change in the cutting of grass on the lots of vacant houses.
