Ive asked this question time and time again, and NOBODY has ever answered it in a way that made any sense.
What role do "At Large" councilmen perform??
I was told that they were to ensure that everyone was represented equally...
If you are the one saying that, then please elaborate.
Because if they're are only going to provide me with just over half the cops that they say a city of this size needs, then I want to know why we really need Copeland, McNamara, Schultz, Sarantou, Szollosi and SOBczak!!!
All are invited to an Earth Fair at Highland Park, corner of Woodsdale and South Ave,Saturday, April 25, noon to 3pm. This public event will feature organizational displays, collection of used paint in good condition, tree planting, mercury thermometer exchange (bring your old mercury thermometer, get a new, non-mercury one free), and walking tours of the dam remediation project in the park.

Following up on their successful pothole repair project in Louisville, Kentucky, KFC is offering to fix potholes nationwide. KFC president Roger Eaton has sent a letter to the nation's mayors, including Chicago's offering to fix our roads in exchange for free advertising. KFC's promotion involves a private road crew and an actor dressed as the Colonel, fixing potholes and then spraying "Re-Freshed by KFC" on the repair, promoting their claim of using fresh chicken in their dishes.
Has anyone noticed all the Arson fires through out the city? Every night a vacant house goes up in flames. I find this just a little curious, especially at a time when safety forces could be reduced. I would be curious to know if last year at this time how many vacant house fires there have been. Very interesting........
There will be a public hearing in Toledo City Council chambers, One Government Center downtown (Jackson and Erie), Wednesday, April 1st at 4 p.m.
The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the flooding that has been occurring in the city. I have heard from many of you regarding flooding. This will be an opportunity to hear directly from the engineers who, like you, are interested in mitigating the flooding. Since this is a public committee meeting, your testimony is welcomed.
This article in the Toledo Blade, http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090329/NEWS16/90..., points out that recycling is now costing the citizens of Toledo rather than providing some revenue. I, for one, would be willing to take my trash to the recycling bins we have in various places throughout the city. When I walk with a friend at Navarre Park there is a recycling center there. Wildwood is near the Kroger’s on Monroe Street so I can recycle there, and there is a recycling center at the Kroger’s near the corner of Glendale and South Reynolds.

Serial Criminals Hurt West Toledo
After a three-month investigation of burglaries in my district, I've found a disturbing pattern; the crimes are being committed by people who should have stayed locked up a long time ago. Consider this:
- Mark Kosky, arrested for breaking and entering in the 43-hundred block of Sylvania Ave. has been hit with 35 criminal charges since 1978. He's on the street today.
- Gregory Paquin, arrested for a burglary in the 48-hundred block of Harvest, has 11 criminal arrests since 1987. He too is on the streets today.
Do you Twitter?
Are you free any time 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, March 24?
Can you get to Arnie's in Westgate (3332 W. Central Ave.)?
If you answered yes to the above questions, you are invited to Toledo Tweetup II. Meet other Toledo-area Twitterers in person and get to know the real them (at least share a drink or a bite).
Discuss your favorite Toledo area restaurants, preferably non-chain places. Even better, make it a hole-in-the-wall joint, like the dinner I had at Pat and Dandy's on Laskey Road tonight.
Truth moment: I really wanted to start a post so that DB-A's goofy mug and his book were no longer the first thing I saw when I loaded Swampbubbles. However, I did have a great slab of BBQ ribs at this neighborhood bar and grill, and at $12.95, it was a heckuva bargain. Meat fell right off the bones, and the sweet-tangy sauce was worth remembering, especially the ever-so-slight hint of cloves.
