February 2015 Toledo Talk thread Yvonne Harper on Toledo City Clowncil ???? about the possibility of Harper getting appointed to council to fill the spot vacated by Hicks-Hudson.

justread's February 2015 comment about Yvonne Harper:

Hmm, had to retire from the court because she was disruptive and racist.

A history of discipline and conflict.

Owes thousands of dollars in back taxes and is being sued by the State of Ohio.

Her record showed she was evaluated as unsatisfactory in working with the public and couldn't communicate verbally.

She couldn't handle constructive criticism, follow procedures, and had a bad attitude.

Wow. Makes you wonder why she has been elevated above others in the party.

Wait... let me guess. She campaigned against SB5, right?

All is forgiven in the eyes of the Lucas County Labor Party.

From the February 2015 Toledo Blade story

Steven Steel, an at-large Toledo councilman and the county Democratic Party chairman, said he will vote for Ms. Harper.

A couple winners there.

March 2015 Blade op-ed

Council members must make their choices in the interest of all of their constituents, rather than respond to the dictates of political and union bosses.

Council members must elect a new president to succeed Paula Hicks-Hudson. Insiders say that council incumbent Steven Steel is seeking support among his colleagues for the position, and has the backing of local private-sector unions that traditionally have exercised broad political influence on the council.

The county Democratic Party and its organized-labor allies are leaning on council members to appoint Yvonne Harper, the party’s executive director. But a review by The Blade of Ms. Harper’s record suggests that here too, council members can find better candidates.

The Blade op-ed writer suggested that Toledo would be better off if someone other than Steel was council president, and someone other than Harper was appointed to council. Reality and the status quo thought differently.
