Is What's Needed A High Colonic?

In T-Town it's not just the hydrants that need flushed out!
After a thirty-year absence I purchased a house and moved back to my home town of Toronto, Ohio. Although basically I've moved back into the old neighborhood (my childhood home is exactly two blocks north on the same street), a lot remains the same and a lot has changed and some of that (possibly most) is not necessarily a good thing.

Examples of things I've noticed that remain the same:

• People vote on name recognition or because "he" or "she" is so and so's son/daughter/grand whatever.
  
• They come from a good family so they get my vote.
• They have been in office for years so I guess they are okay.
• Things are fine the way they are so we don't need change.

Yada, yada, yada!

While I was gone I lived in many small "progressive" towns that:

• Had a city planning commission
• Took advantage of state and federal grant money to revitalive their downtowns
• Saw population double despite rough economic times by promoting tourism.
• Built or converted existing structures into recreation centers (indoor pool, sauna, hot tub, racquet ball courts, etc).
• And the list goes on...

Toronto needs revitalization to remain a city. The community is impoverished; 150 families are being served at the food bank and this town needs to capitalize on its greatest resource - the Ohio River.

Tuesday May 5th is election day- time to cast that ballot for Toronto's future and vote many out of office.

Meet my candidate!
