The "Stuck On Stupid" Toledo Dictionary #8

Recent city press releases are forcing additional entries into the "SOS" Dictionary. For those who have not seen previous entries (I encourage you to go back and look them up under the label 'dictionary'), these are words or terms which carry one meaning in regular conversational use, but seem to have come to mean something entirely different when applied by the City of Toledo. Since this dual usage can become a bit disconcerting to those not familiar with the city (and more so to those who are), this dictionary is being compiled to provide a guide in the hopes of reducing the the confusion and consternation caused by this abuse of the English language.  

Fiscal Responsibility:  
1. A term which appears to have nothing to do with the way the City of Toledo operates its budgetary process.  
2. The philosophy behind a plan to lay off 15 to 25 city workers with real responsibilities in the city (like repairing the streets) due to a budget shortfall, while hiring another political drone to write speeches for a college educated Mayor, in an attempt to make him sound somewhat less illiterate. 

Mathematics:  
1. A system of science used to calculate numbers using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to reach an answer.
 2. Something which the City of Toledo seems incapable of using when it comes to it's own budget, as proved by the constant level of surprise its officials show when presented with the results of those calculations.  

Law of Diminishing Returns:  
1. Continuing to do the same thing over and over again, producing a smaller result each time.  
2. The profits achieved as a result of the concert series that the city is having held at the Erie Street Market.
