Enjoyed spending some time with my friend Lee Weygandt. We got to talk to so many people interested in what's happening. Those set on who they are voting and those that still have questions.

Ive been debating about running for council again next year. Ive been following the meetings. Watching the comments from the community. Hearing the responses from both sides.

Today I volunteered at the democratic booth at the fair. I had my 13 year old daughter with me. Two very different conversations that stood out.

A woman walked by. Started to make some comments and shared she is republican. Changed her tone. Noted that she just wants the people to be considered. Not the rich on either side. I agree.

Not as great, an older couple walked by, looked at our booth and the male asked.. "are you illegals"... lol haha so funny. I said "yes" no laugh, he said "well at least you dont look like it". Walked on by.

My daughter saw this. Heard him. And positive is, she questioned it. Do better people like this.

I say this to show the two sides. I think there are more of us like interaction number one.

I watched Council's meeting tonight and a couple of thoughts.

So much conversation around the closing of Cory Street. Seems there were two very different discussions happening. The overreach of the original 90 day closure. And then the effect on the corridor by Great Scot. Seems that solutions on the traffic issue could have been done while this road was closed. It was mentioned that a couple things were looked at. But no real solutions.

I appreciated Danny DeLong and Rodney Phillips for being a nay on pushing through ordinances with the emergency clause. Simply to get them off the table. I get that it adds another reading or two but in my opinion if everything with the emergency clause is pushed through then nothing is truly an emergency. The Law Director said it wouldnt make a difference since its already been so long.

Nice job Vote Shaun Mason speaking on the taxi vetting and licensing. It's interesting that after you spoke that now it's more clear that this will only affect two cab companies. Two. According to the Law Director. Is that not a waste of our resources to be regulating two companies, if that is truly the case?

And I may have missed it - but where has Mr. Stashiak been at the meetings this year? I found his input and perspective interesting to hear in comparison to the other City representatives.

Thank you The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation for recognizing the need of childcare in Findlay and Hancock County. This has been in so many studies for many years and it's encouraging to see it being addressed - at least at the foundation level. It's an interesting concept, cost sharing childcare between grants, employer and parents.

Did you know the average cost of childcare for one child in Hancock County is $10,000 per year? For every one childcare spot, ten kids are waiting. Together, we can address the growing childcare problem in our community. Donate now: https://www.community-foundation.com/rooted

Vote Shaun Mason had a great article published in the letters to editor. In watching the council meeting last week it was nice to see at least two members vote no on the budget. It was interesting others had concern but yet voted yes. I understand not having an approved budget "is not a good look" - but yet, it's so important that council is comfortable with what is approved. This may be an odd question - but if we don't get our income until the end of January - why doesn't the city run on a different fiscal year? Would it cause that much disruption if the fiscal calendar ran after expenses and income for the prior year were determined?

I was not able to attend the Council meeting today, and am watching online.

BRAVO to Findlay for All and all of the speakers who showed up. You made your voices heard over these last weeks. The loitering ordinance was voted DOWN.

More recap to come
