I maintain this site to spread ideas and information- to try to key people in on what’s happening in Dayton from an objective point of view. It’s a labor of love- and a way to connect to a community that I think is awesome, but that has to choose between Slim and None when it comes to elected leadership thanks to the powers that won’t let go [1].
Commenter “Ice Bandit” posted this ode as a comment [2]– I thought it worthy of its own post:
I’ll sign your petition Dave Esrati
Though my activism as late has been spotty.
We’ll throw support to you,
You seem to have a clue,
to keep this town from sliding into the potty…Folks in town are tired of waitin’,
to see improvement in Dayton,
we seem to have a curse,
things could not be worse,
if the mayor we elected was Satan.We’ll rename city hall the House of David.
And this towns grim destiny will be save-ed.
It might be awfully cute,
If we all campaigned in a ninja suit, [3]
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled it’s not depraved.Darn it, I broke my G banjo string. Gotta’ run to Hauers as soon as they open. More lyrics on the way…….
Thanks.
Although- I’d really like it if City Hall was gone- and we had UniGov hall- and the people felt like it was theirs, and not the politicians’.
Wishful thinking. Now off to the blood center to donate platelets [4]– more on that later.
