Toledo City Council
Votes to Fund Green Job Training

Toledo-Lucas County Green Jobs Partnership
To Help Grow New Economy

May 27, 2009, For Immediate Release

Toledo, OH – Last night, Toledo City Council passed an ordinance allocating $50,000 to the Toledo–Lucas County Green Jobs Partnership training program. Toledo City Councilman Joe McNamara and Lucas County Commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak formed the Green Jobs Partnership to create a comprehensive green-jobs training program that prepares our workforce for entry-level jobs in the emerging green-collar economy.

Joe McNamara was on saying there is a deficit and they are having a hard time finding the money. And I was just thinking you are such a hypocrite. How about cancel the 20 some thousand for a solar field or just work and get someone else to fund carenet, which was done last year.

Councilman Joe McNamara supports the idea, offering some commonly held misconceptions about plastic bags in the process:
