Tough job

Ironton collects an income tax from its residents and its businesses.

Wednesday, we learned AK Steel will idle the Ashland works through the end of this year. I would say a lot of people in Ironton work at AK Steel.

Today, we learn Chrysler has told Harmon Motor Sales that it's pulling its franchise to sell Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Dodge trucks. I might be wrong, but I think Harmon is Ironton’s last new-car dealer.

Ironton had enough holes in its budget without these problems.

I don't think I'd want the Ironton mayor's job right now.
