Counter Productive?? A union does Toledo another disservice

A corporate giant buys HCR Manor care. Manor care appears to be a well run company providing quality service. (Notice before the buyout there were no cries of mistreated residents or poor health care at their facilities.) The corporate giant at this point may not have any reason to move the headquarters, fire personnel, or make any large scale changes, all of which would cost substantial amounts of money.

BUT.

A union - seeing a chance to make some headlines - decides to protest the corporate buyout, knowing full well that they will have ZERO IMPACT in the decision to sell. In standard union form they attack the income of the director, make false allegations about the quality of the service provided (health care will decline), and attempt to influence people through fear -- "The 700 jobs will be lost to elsewhere!!!"

SO.

The corporate giant, who previously did not have a reason to make changes, sees this political stunt as in indication of the headaches it may face if it maintains the headquarters of its newly acquired corporation in Toledo, Ohio. Measuring the cost of change against the cost and heartache of the status quo, do you think the union has DECREASED the likelihood of Toledo losing these 700 jobs or INCREASED that chance?

Do you think other large employers who may consider NW Ohio as a potential investment location are encouraged to do so when faced with this union protest, or more likely to choose another city for investment?

We won't even talk about the other businesses in that building being adversely effected by the locked doors. Ficocia's apparently was "closed for repairs," or the expenditure of YOUR TAX DOLLARS on the increased police presence at this sham of a political stunt.

SCHIP - Rhetoric - Another Ohio Dem. on YouTube

Apparently Robin Weirauch is on Youtube attacking Bush and conservatives who support his veto of the SCHIP program expansion.

With Ohio already expanding its child health insurance welfare program to include families living 200% over the federal poverty line it is no surprise that another Ohio democrat wants to increase Uncle Sam's control of our pocketbooks, wallets, and soon our medical charts, treatment and care.

All the while demonizing cold hearted conservatives who believe in small government, and the idea that the government should not TAKE from me, to GIVE to someone else, regardless of purpose and especially if that person or their family is making $60,000+ a year.

Democrat political definitions: a failure to expand a program = a cut.

Failure to support taking your money (remember kids the Govt. HAS NO MONEY OF ITS OWN) and giving it to someone the Govt. FEELS is deserving = a cold hearted, uncaring, desire to see innocent children suffer.

Thank you Stranahan

I want to send a thank you to the Stranahan family, foundation, et al.

The Stranahan Foundation is the reason conservative speakers and guests come to the University of Toledo College of Law. The foundation set up a fund to finance such speeches and events at the law school because Mr. Stranahan knew he could not ensure his money would be used to support conservative ideas if he just gave it to the law school administration. Of this I know what I speak.

Last night I took my family to the Stranahan theater for the first time. We saw Cirque De Sole...........WOW. GREAT venue, great show. I assume it is called the Stranahan because of funding and philanthropy from the family/foundation. I hope I am right. Another shining star in the Toledo/Lucas County area.

I see the Stranahan name in the museum as well, and I think at the Zoo.

Toledo has a lot to offer. It looks like the Stranahan's had much to do with that.

Thanks.
