Politically Driven / Fan Driven?



Regardless to what the answer is the new Arena will be a sight that will have many embracing a new era. Toledo is way overdue for a project of this magnitude. This endeavor was first thought to be a politically driven project but after a few citizens were involved and their voices heard I can feel the two entities coming together on a common decision - Toledo needs a fresh start.
I have to admit that although I love to debate political issues with my wife, I didn't really care for politics before meeting my her. I have her to thank for when it comes to my understanding of Toledo History and it's roots. This city is one for all of us to be proud of, especially when the Arena is just the beginning of what's to come in the near future. Politics will always peak it's head out but it's politics that we need in order to discuss what matters the most in any city "citizens".

I particularly like how Toledo's top (old) dog manipulates projects such as these, which violate the expressed intent of a Charter amendment, by calling on his shills in County government to take the "figurehead" lead on this project, because the County has no such restrictions put on them, although ~80% of the County is the City of Toledo, who saw fit to place such restrictions in its so-called leaders.

I'm hoping that the other 20% of Lucas County's taxpayers/citizens will wise up soon too...
