modern day attitude about toledo area politics

bq. _"Here's what the critics want: *transparency and +competency.+*"_

In Toledo / Lucas County??  Good one.

Some citizens have been wanting that from our local, political dimwits for many years, but demanding such things in the past "got you labeled as being 'negative.'":http://toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/tt.pl/article/44555/Confusing_real_negativism_with_valid_criticism

So fall in line, accept things as they are, and  end your negative attitude with your questioning about issues that involve our tax dollars. 

It took me a while, but I finally realized that the above recommendation is a winning formula that has produced great results in the past, despite Toledo's population declining by 100,000 people in the past 40 years.

And "it's more fun to be ignorant of what's happening.":http://toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/tt.pl/article/6722/Theory__The_non-voters_are_happier_than_the_voters You care less too, which gives your more free time to devote to fantasy football. Being blissfully unaware makes food taste better and the weather feel warmer.

I don't give a damn what happens to the steamplant nor Promenade Park.  A super-size Chez Joey could open in the steamplant, which would be a mixed-use facility, containing  a center for the performing arts and a shooting range. 

I'm sad that this means an end to "Opal Covey's dream for the steamplant":http://toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/tt.pl/article/42376#42475 from 2009.

[Opal] mentioned an idea she got from someone about converting the old steam plant into an indoor water park. The smokestacks would be used for "rock climbing."
