This is an experiment. Public service should be about listening and leading - and I am interested in exploring new ways to reach out to people in order to help. The past year saw furious new use of "blogs" to cover public debates coast-to-coast. I'm hoping Toledo will benefit from equally spirited debate now and in the future. This medium, I hope, will provide candid, reasonable commentary on issues facing Toledo and NW Ohio. It will also allow me to get back into a habit that served me well from childhood through college (and which I've neglected in the push and pull of political action the past several years) - reflective and opinionated writing. What scares me a bit is that words and thoughts could come back to haunt me in some future campaign or debate. Joseph Kennedy instilled in his sons the habit of never writing important decisions down - lest they be used against them later. I believe we live in an age of information where politicians who refuse to engage publicly are less attractive than those do. We'll see. Here goes.My emphasis added.
