There was no one location for them to go to and with google, if you don’t know which terms to search for (which many people don’t) it can take you hours if ever to find information on local organizations." Yes, wiki's can be good. No doubt about it. Wikipedia is a great tool. But, in this case and in my opinion, the county would be better served with a directory or a search engine/directory and not a wiki as a wiki is usually editable. I think most Lucas county folks would not spend hours looking for info on Google as it has ramped up more and more. “NC, I find value in wiki’s, especially when used as a resource as that one was created to be for residents of Lucas County.

My version of counting to 10 was a form of anger management. My inability to do so, simply an illustration of my simple-minded approach to life. Sorry Lisa, for being deliberately obtuse.

Considering he has been kept out of the loop, the real question should be how much more would he have accomplished if that didn't exist?

When the report for the 21st. moves from the book shelf to the real world and is applied then we can discuss the reports use and accomplishments. Granted that Konop did push for it. And some of the membership of the committee seemed to me at least not the best choices to lead us into the future. The former Mayor on the committee was the same one that was reported to have made secret land purchases for the city and the deals went sour.
