Every election cycle, candidates for office promise they will bring jobs to our depressed city. If politicians could in fact create jobs than Toledo would have a surplus. Predictably we have a shortage.
How about this, can we get a candidate who says in an ad spot, “I promise I won’t try to create a single job in Toledo”? Maybe then people would start to hire.

He’s been in elected office, leadership, or working behind-the-scenes in Toledo/Lucas County for decades. What makes you think this tiger will change his stripes?
Why will he be successful this time when he has (with the help of others) demonstrated failure up to this point? He didn’t have enough power before?
Has he changed his philosophy on management? Maybe he took a course in basic economics? What revelation has Keith had in the last six-months?

Campaign commercials are a quick highlight of what a campaign is going to focus on.
Wilkowski has provided more details on the role of government in creating jobs if you have followed the previous more detailed aspect of this campaign one example:
Wilkowski said the role of economic development is important the private sector does create jobs but the public sector is important, referencing bringing water lines, creating financing. Joint economic agreements, government stop fighting let the private sector create jobs. Public sector plays a role in this.
Then releases like this one and the commercial does say “read the plan at http://www.keithwilkowski.com” which if anyone hasn’t done that yet? Link.

First candidate that can prove to me and bring a new company/business that will hire 25 or more in Toledo before the primary will get my guaranteed vote, until then it is just a smoke screen.
For Wilkowski, what did he bring to Northwest Ohio? Last thing I can remember is a FAILED outdoor theater in Rossford, remember that?

The only way anyone can actually create jobs is if they open a business and hire people and are able to keep the business running.

Name me one elected official that has kept all campaign promises? What they say to get elected is not usually how they govern. Remember the last time Carty ran for office he said he would be bringing jobs to Toledo. Well I heard today that Toledo’s unemployment rate is around 15%, one of the highest in our state. Why do we put up with political lies from candidates? I guess we deserve what we elect. It’s time elected officials were held accountable for campaign promises broken or never kept. If a store advertises a product for a low price, you show up to buy it and it’s gone. The store offers you a like product that is more expensive, that is called bait and switch. What is it called when a politician makes promises, gets elected and then never makes good on what they promised? Same thing I say. They have the power to make policy. That is too great a power to put up with the politics of usual. I for one am sick of lying politicians.

“Turn Toledo around…Democrat for mayor”
Yeah, the Democrats have been “turning Toledo around and round and round and round” for what 40+ years?
Turning Toledo around requires cleaning some damned house. Reelecting the same recycled crap into office year after year has been the perfect recipe for failure.
“Wellll he’s a strong union supporter”
THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
And being a “union man” is not a credential for attracting and retaining businesses that employ people. In fact it’s quite the opposite!
