I have found myself once again, criticizing a part of the newspaper industry for failing in its mission.

This in via email from the Barbara Sears for District 46 State Representative campaign:
August 19,2008 - State Representative Barbara Sears (OH-46) has received the endorsement of both the Ohio Society of CPAs and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, reflecting her dedication to supporting small business and promoting economic stability. Below are excerpts from these prominent organizations:

A few stories caught my eye that I wanted to point out. First, did you think that with the welcome mat not being out for lobbyists that the Democratic National Convention would be different this time?

Back in March during the primary season, it was discovered there was a calendar error made by the General Assembly so that anyone who had problems with their candidate petitions could not run as a write in candidate. The deadline for write in candidates ended before the deadline for candidate petitions. There was no huge fuss, though it affected a few of us. Now? There is a five day over-lap between the date where voter registration ends and absentee ballots can be done in person.

Went to court on the 15th as the Court was to decide whether the case qualified as a class action suit. The opposing attorneys can question whether my attorneys have enough experience to represent a class action suit and rather than run the risk of a decision on behalf of the opposing counsel, my attorneys brought in another attorney to join the team representing all of the residents of Toledo in the lawsuit.

We already covered some of the stories written in this week’s Toledo Free Press while discussing the United Way Building decision but there are quite a few more articles of interest, a few I’d like to point out. One in particular is Karl Rundgren’s Hello, I must be going. As previously pointed out, Karl is leaving to head for Texas, ironic with Sonic just finally arriving…

This week on Conklin & Company with Lee Conklin on WTVG the first segment was with Bill Carroll, President of the Lucas County Port Authority Board and Paul Toth, Jr. who was named as the interim president of the Port Authority.

Miguel and I headed over a little after noon today and watched quite a bit of the games played today at Libbey High School by the STARS League. The Mayor arrived, then District 2 Councilman D. Michael Collins. I almost thought no media was going to cover the proclamation ceremony today, but WTVG did come to cover the ceremony aspect and it was nice to see them there.

Due to a fortuitous set of circumstances, I ended up in Lagrinka today, just long enough to get some quick snapshots of St. Hedwig and St. Adalbert.
