25 Jan 2007
The organization, “America’s Promise” just released it’s 100 best communities for young people and Toledo, Ohio made the list. If you would like more information on the criteria, it can be found on their website where it gives you a break down, some of which:
The criteria involve:
Community support of children and youth
Resources children and youth receive (the Five Promises)
Children and youth outcomes
I expect we will hear much more about this in the days to come, the Toledo Blade had a brief blurb on the story this morning.
Very cool – thanks for highlighting this.
January 25th, 2007 at 8:47 pmOhio Governor Ted Strickland has a new companion to support, offering a solution as his opposition to the payday loan and cash advance industries amplify. He’s fighting on behalf of the state’s community of gamblers. In effect as of August 1, 2008, but being disputed by the people on the November 4 state ballot, Strickland says this is a heroic effort to raise money for their public schools. Strickland has defended his views on several occasions, claiming this one’s best for the common good for our children. Despite the massive criticisms from all walks of life, including members of his own parish, he continues to dig up ways to shield his idea. Parts of his proposal would revise the state constitution to authorize the construction of a $600 million casino near Dayton. This proposal is giving many people a more vivid picture of the state of Ohio’s economy. So let’s get this straight. Governor Strickland is telling his citizens to go out and gamble away their rent and mortgage payments for the sake of their children’s future. Then, after gambling away all our money, when we experience a pinch in our budget and are unable to buy the necessities for our children, Strickland says we should NOT resort to getting temporary funds from a payday lender to help make ends meet. Seriously, there is no sense in that.
