Tell the Toledo Free Press to keep their promises

The Toledo Free Press apparently has a plagiarism problem. The Toledo Blade highlights once such instance uncovered by a University of Toledo professor, Mary Linehan. Ms Linehan discovered some unattributed work in the Free Press and informed TFP's publisher and president Tom Pounds in a letter. The letter went unanswered by Mr Pounds, but instead found it's way into the hands of the author of the plagiarized work--Gregg Schwartz. What happened next, is beyong the pale.

Robinson Resigns From LCIC, Exclusive Interview 7:30a Friday 1370 WSPD

The Toledo Free Press broke the story this afternoon and I will have Rob on with me Friday morning at 7:30a. What anyone else says doesn't really matter since they haven't been involved in economic development. And if they can prove me wrong, bring it on. I am so tired of this city/county losing good people one after the other and no one raising a voice. My voice is raised.
