The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority Board of Directors on Thursday *approved a mission statement.* bq. “The mission of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority is to develop expertise and assets that drive and grow the region’s transportation and logistics infrastructure and its economic prosperity for all.” A $35,000 grant to Toledo will *pay for summer employees at city swimming pools.* The money comes from a $350,000 fund set up by the port board to pay for *economic development projects* run by “eligible, neighborhood organizations in Lucas County.” The issue drew one no vote. Board member Bill Carroll said he *does not believe it’s an appropriate use of the port’s levy receipts, which are supposed to be spent on economic development.* q.. #toledo #politics #moronism #humor
