Quit Complaining and Start Acting

6/4/2008
I have lived in Toledo for just about a year. All I hear is..."the Mayor is a jerk" and other negative comments about Toledo. Citizens have the opprotunity to do something about their community, but sadly most find it easier to bitch or find someone to blame for their problems. The Mayor didn't fill out an application to get his job...people chose him, and this isn't his first term either. People complain about their community also, but are quick to shoot down any levy or tax increase. Get involved with your community, MAKE it a better place. Don't complain about city workers working overtime, be thankful there is a group of people that ensure you have clean water, trash-free neighborhoods, and a safe environment. If there is a dangerous release of chemicals in your neighborhood, you will quickly change your mind about city workers when they come to your aid during off hours. Would you prefer to just let a hazardous situation remain as it is until the next business day? If you don't like Toledo then why not move? Try living in Michigan, you will see that Toledo isn't as horrible as everyone says.
