The Toledo Journal is reporting online that Carty insulted blacks, and one of his top aide's confrims this!
The Journal is reporting that Mayor Finkbeiner made insulting remarks about black men and probably about black women. Mayor Finkbeiner turned down a recommendation to hire a black man because he would be "crucified" if he had two minorities serving as co-directors of the city's Youth Commission.
3 great late thoughts about the election in the Toledo Journal this week. One thought:

Who is going to champion the issues that Darlene Fisher fought for? Please do not say Larry Sykes. He fell down the stairs and broke his good leg selling ''I’ll be a watchman for minority inclusion'' wolf tickets on the missed $641 million school rebuild opportunity program and now he just won another chance to break his other leg! Some things you simply do not need to repeat.
Toledo, OH – The Primary Election results are in, and we now know who is advancing to the General Election.
Toledo, OH – With less than a week until the Primary Election, Independent City Council Candidate Stephen Ward receives an endorsement from the Toledo Journal. The Journal states, “As a minority candidate he would add to council's diversity, and his youth would bring some much needed new ideals in governing Toledo.”
The news concerning the Toledo Public school's Report card is very troubling to me, a parent of school age children, an advocate for children and parents and as a human being.

Toledo Public Schools officials like to say they welcome community involvement. Now, with Scott High School’s renovation approaching, the public will learn whether that is real sentiment or just words.
I wish to thank the Toledo Journal for their endorsement. This piggybacks on the broad base of support I have received from labor to the business community and Realtors.
My current endorsements:
Toledo Board of Realtors
Toledo Chamber of Commerce
Lucas County African-American Republican Club
Roofers Union Local 134
Teamsters Local 20
