TAHL Has Left The Vilage!

That's right, we have moved out of Ottawa Hills, and joined the ranks of Toledo taxpayers who also get a vote. We enjoyed our years in Ottawa Hills immensely, and want to thank all our neighbors, friends, teachers, counsel members, coaches, firemen, and cops.

We have moved to District 5, in Washington Local, Whitmer School District. So far so good, nice small brick house, lower purchase price than the Village and lower taxes. We don't rely on the police for our personal safety, and chose a nice neighborhood, so I don't expect any problems on that front. There are in fact two cops (from other jurisdictions) on our street.

So I am now an official voter on City of Toledo issues, not just a taxpayer forced to take what is dealt without a say. I have already e-mailed my councilman, Tom Wainewski, and gotten a quick, brief, but thoughtful response.
