Toledo Government Is Pro Business

The light finally came on in the dark, dusty attic more commonly called known as my brain. Mayor Carlton S. Finkbeiner and the city of Toledo are in fact business friendly.

No, think about it. What could be more business friendly than wanting to own one yourself? You know, like a towing or ambulance service, a trash hauling company, a museum (which they finally and grudgingly gave up), an apartment building, and even a night club. Of course the fact that the mayor and the city have been unsuccessful in running any of these businesses at a profit is simply a function of a difficult economy (and the Bush tax cuts, of course).  

This program has been so business friendly that even the Federal government has finally taken notice. The mortgage and banking industry and auto manufacturing are only the first examples of the new Administration being just as business friendly in some difficult economic times. Kudos to the Mayor and Council for creating a program so compelling that it must of needs be taken up on a national level.  

I don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel like I have an outside cabin on the Titanic. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and the view is great, but the ship is going down.

You are SOO right! This administration is about as business-friendly as they are America-friendly... As far as the Honorable S-for-brains is concerned, he is also extremely Police-friendly! Yep, don'tcha know most of those guys have been wanting an unpaid vacation for a long time now....really... After all, we have trash collectors and parking meter ticketers always on the look-out for high crime!!

There is so much political posturing with the Toledo City elected officials that I want to vomit!
In all my years of closely following Toledo and Lucas County politics, having been an elected officeholder myself, having served as President for several years of the largest Democratic Club in Lucas County, having served many years on the Lucas County Democratic Party Executive Committee, and more, I must say this is THE WORST ever political posturing of Toledo City elected officials to the detriment of truly serving the residents. And Lucas County Commissioner Ben Konop (the apple that didn't fall far from the Sandy Isenberg tree) is right in there with them --- who the heck is he trying to kid!
