Sure, no problem. At our local site, you can also begin to understand how our town began to slowly get screwed up (began about the 1980's) when John Robinson Block (Blade owner) began hand-picking, more or less, his politicians to do his bidding. They don't listen to us any more, but rather follow the will of the paper. The Block family used to have all kinds of opposition from other Toledoans of wealth & power who owned local firms/businesses. They're all gone now, either sold out to out-of-state concerns, or died & the kids sold everything and are off somewhere squandering the inheritance. Therefore, the Blocks now have virtually ultimate power in this region. Sad, but the newspaper now basically owns the town. Add to that the fact the rag has filled council & the Mayor's office (and County Commissioners) with almost ALL arrogant Democrat elitists, and you can see why we're worried about Toledo surviving. I think the democrats there bitch about it more than I do. ;) Keep checking in from time-to-time, and you'll learn a lot about Toledo.
Thanks for giving us a little bit of the historical perspective. Sounds like Toledo needs a new conservative newspaper :)
