Comments on: Darlene Fisher statement from Chamber’s Legislative Breakfast http://glasscityjungle.com/wordpress/2009/02/darlene-fisher-statement-from-chambers-legislative-breakfast/ Wed, 18 Aug 2010 02:25:57 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: wwforlife http://glasscityjungle.com/wordpress/2009/02/darlene-fisher-statement-from-chambers-legislative-breakfast/#comment-324811 wwforlife Sun, 08 Feb 2009 03:09:28 +0000 http://glasscityjungle.com/wordpress/?p=5722#comment-324811 I can only speak from my experiences that have allowed me to exchange ideas with Ms. Fisher. Since I have been around the block a time or two, I believe that I have developed a sixth sense about those in public office. Ms. Fisher is one, but not the only one, that walks the walk and talks the talk on behalf of the school system and those that are really concerned with it's success. TPS and the school system would be well served to have more members like her on the board. She has successfully reached out to a very small, seemingly powerless group of activist and contributed greatly to their desires to save one of the oldest high schools in Toledo...Scott High. For this she has our gratitude. And in spite of the overwhelming amount of emails and letters that the public has not been made aware of asking that she be returned to the TPS Ohio State Facility Commission, we remain optimistic that she will still be of value to our efforts. She does not appear to be using her position on the board as a convenient stepping stone to a higher position before first gaining the confidence of the community that she has been elected to serve. She has not given us the impression in either word or deed that she wants to move on up, while leaving the work of unifying the community to the next in line, while giving the impression that we are to be ignored while campaigning for higher office. She has not given us the opinion that she has little concerns for the wishes of the community. She is in constant contact with the community groups offering her ear and guidance on how we should approach our struggle which should not really be one. It is obvious that she sometimes struggles alone on some issues that we have asked her to get answers to, and that is why many of us fully support her and her efforts. If you were to ask the hard questions suggested by the community, you too might be perceived in a adversarial light. Remember local politics can be a Jungle out there... Thank you Ms Fisher for all that you have done for Scott High School. We still have work to do! I can only speak from my experiences that have allowed me to exchange ideas with Ms. Fisher.

She is a real leader who knows change is necessary. She has been great at bringing people together and engaging the community. She is a valuable asset to this community and especially TPS! This is the kind of statement I have come to expect from her. Not only does she makes statements like this, but she works hard to see that these ideas and approaches are implemented and practiced.
