Award chase may end with reality check
Time to put up or shut up, Toledo.
Anyone excited by the possibility that this place could be named "Most Liveable City," please send a single dollar bill to city hall.
This would spare Mayor Carty Finkbeiner the considerable bother of privately fund-raising as much as $40,000 for a trip to make our case for snaring the LivCom Award.
Lord, how we love awards. Our municipal motto should be: "Mirror, mirror on the wall
I'm pretty sure that was supposed to read:
The mayor IS Living In A Fantasy World.
At least, IMNHO.
;-)
really enjoyed this column by R. de Boer - especially the sarcasm...lol
I would think that the most livable city would greatly consider the cultural aspects of a city. Toledo needs a lot of work. Management and unions don't work well together, there is blatant discrimination everywhere, blacks against whites, whites against blacks, discrimination against Hispanics, etc., etc., etc. People don't view the local government as progressive and feel that it serves the interest of the few. My question is: when this delegation of City of Toledo people, which will include City employees, who will be paying the City employees' salaries while they are in England? Will they be taking vacation days? If Toledo is deserving of such an honor, I cherish the thought of receiving the award,
