The former clown mayor of Toledo writes a column for "The Sojourner's Truth":http://www.thetruthtoledo.com. In his May 24, 2007 "column":http://www.thetruthtoledo.com/story/2007/May23-07/MyView.htm, Ford continues to show his inability to look past skin color. Why some people are so stuck on skin color is truly amazing in an ignorant way.
Ford vomited :
<q>
There is so much going on with the Toledo Public Schools that I feel like the mosquito at the nudist convention – I don’t know where to start.
</q>
Okay, that opening sentence should tell you that his column is going to be senseless. It's not an original piece of humor. Who hasn't heard of the mosquito at the nudist colony joke?
More from Ford:
<q>
Can Toledo elect two *Hispanics* to the school board? I can see Vasquez slide by Richard Brown and Toledo Police Department Detective Harold Mosley, who may declare this week, if they split the *black* vote. Point Place activist Lisa Sobecki is in a great position. She is a smart, Democratic *white* female with the Party’s endorsement.
</q>
Disturbing. What do race and gender have to do with the qualifications of being on the public school board? And what do political party affiliations have to do with being on a public school board? I don't understand political party endorsements for school board candidates. It should not be political.
It's this kind of whacked mentality that makes it so I can't wait until we have moved out of Toledo and Lucas County, so our tax dollars don't support TPS and other failed entities like Toledo and Lucas County government, which are ruled by the likes of Ford.
Problem is, it's not seller's market in Toledo. We live three blocks off Douglas. In those three blocks, 10 houses are currently for sale. Some have been for sale for well over a year. It had been eight houses, but two more went up for sale this week. I've never seen so many houses for sale on our street in the five-and-a-half years that I've lived here.
We drove around downtown Perrysburg a few weeks ago. Within a several block radius of downtown P-burg, it was hard to find a total of 10 houses for sale. Yet 10 houses are for sale on a two hundred yard stretch of one street in West Toledo. Buyer's market in Toledo, a seller's market in P-burg.
When we do move out of Lucas County, probably next year, Ford would say it's because our new community is white. In the summer of 2006 in one of his columns, Ford "gave":http://www.toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/comments.pl/5/2607#31605 reasons why Toledoans flee for the burbs:
<q>
It's greener, it appears newer and we think it is safer. And, for those of us who really are honest, it's whiter!
</q>
I'd say escaping the homeland of small-minded public leaders like Ford is one big reason for leaving Toledo. City and county government is infested with similar lame-brained pests. Their actions are proof. Just follow what public officials say and do. It's a comedy of errors, along with being a waste of taxpayer dollars.
