Toledo's mayor, Carleton S. Finkbeiner, has a new toady girl on council that helped his other toady become Council president. Lindsay Webb had her arm twisted by the mayor and broke her promise, casting her vote for newly-elected Mark Toady Sobczak. The mayor appealed to his usual Republican bloc of votes plus independent Mike Collins who, along with Webb and Sobczak gave the mayor just what he wanted.
As a result, the nasty A-team, B-team political war continues to rage in Toledo politics. Finkbeiner, who has run as a Republican and independent, ran and won as a B-team Democrat, a faction that grabbed the leadership of the local Democratic Party. Sobczak was the only remaining B-team Democrat on Council, but with the coalition of the Republicans and Lindsay Webb, they are back in power.
With all of the problems facing the city of Toledo, the city does not need a political spat between Council and the mayor, but that is exactly what it is ahead for the beleaguered city. Once again, Carleton Finkbeiner proves that he is the master of divisiveness. Lindsay Webb will have lots of explaining to do to her constituents.

U got it right!
Or maybe she saw how bad Ashford was and said I can't support that. Used car salesmen hear this all the time, shiny exterior but rotted interior. Someone with values is someone you can't understand so you are forgiven. You like your pols slick and oily, which most of your friends are. Looks like there is a new "working majority" and you can't stand it.
Ms. Webb's story in The Blade this morning proved that she is truly the mayor's gal. What a pathetic line of whine from the novice. She even read a Bible passage given to her by the Fink!
Oh Lord, not again...
