Can the State of Ohio run Toledo better than the current administration?
While I do not promote State Run anything, I think the State could do no worse then what we currently have.
As is typical of most voting polls, this one displays a lack of choice. I don't believe the State government could do any better than Carty the Rabid Squirrel and His Friends, but naturally that isn't a part of the poll.

State elected officials are to keep the best interests of the state in mind, local officals are supposed to look after us locally - to put ourselves in the hands of the state would be a huge mistake, but the other alternative in this vote was only to agree that local officials are doing all they can, which is also not true.
I would love to see the state come in and cancel all contracts and show us a REAL picture of the city finances. I don't care what "upheaval" that would create. We're long past having public control of the situation as it stands. So let's burn it ourselves before it burns on its own.
