On the Sept. 15 ballot, voters will choose six of 23 candidates for Toledo City Council. The top 12 vote getters will move on to November’s ballot. If Issue 2 passes, that number will be reduced to six moving on to November’s ballot.
Some candidates declare a party; some do not. Toledo’s municipal elections are non-partisan; on the ballot, there will be no party affiliation noted.
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.
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.
According to the Toledo Blade...The Toledo Free Press is being sued for using material from local authors about the Tom Noe Scandal. Notice how The Blade article refers to the Toledo Free Press as a tabloid, instead of news paper. www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070929/NEWS09/709290418
