Article source for : SAVE PRIVATE COSI GATHERS STEAM
The COSI effort, according to Tom Pounds, Publisher of the TOLEDO FREE PRESS, is to be lauded, whether successful or not."Even if Jakes' effort misses its goals, he is keeping the conversation alive and making sure some spotlight and focus stays on the drive to keep it open". ( Jr. can post the entire article if he wishes. I don't know how.)
The facts are that after a slow start, the effort is gaining momentum. Local news media have made plans to publicize the effort well into January. Facebook.com continues to sign up new students to support the effort.( Some plan on contacting Jamie Farr, Katie Holmes, and even Oprah Winfrey.)
The folks in Bedford,(Toledo's largest suburb), and the folks in Perrysburg are miffed that they had no say in the matter. As Tom Pounds says:" if enough local citizens share Jakes' passion to see COSI survive on its own without a levy, who knows what Christmas miracles might be in store?"
