David Ball for Toledo City Council
David Ball has come in second in the primary!!!
Thank you to all the greens who stepped forward to
help with this campaign.
David Ball made it through the primary and will proceed to the general
election in November.
If we succeed in this race it will have a tremendous
impact for the Greens in the midwest.
Of course we were out spent and the Dems. have many
more volunteers than we do.
Now is the time to step forward and help David with $$ and with
your time.
We will need all the help that Greens can give to put us over the
top.

What we need to do locally:
Small Business Economic Revitalization.
Small businesses contribute significantly to the local economy
so governments should create a formula for allocating city contracts
which credits small businesses for local dollars spent.
Clean up the Ottawa River.
A clean Ottawa River would present a tremendous recreational resource
that would increase economic opportunities for the surrounding
community.
Streamline the criminal Justice system.
We waste significant tax dollars making our citizens appear in
court for minor traffic violations and in pursuing a “get
tough” attitude towards non-violent offenses, like curfew
violations. Many of these kinds of offenses could be dealt with
outside of a court room.
Make the reduction of Domestic Violence a priority.
We must do more to protect the most vulnerable members of our
community. We can begin to do this by increasing counseling and
support to the victims of domestic violence and by vigorously
enforcing orders of protection.
What we need to tell Washington and Columbus:
Before we spend tax dollars on WAR, and on building Democracies
in other places we must invest our tax dollars here at home.
We must fully fund our schools and develop meaningful educational
reform that does not rely solely on testing.
We must have universal health care.
We must have fair inclusive elections, that allow every eligible
citizen to vote and that count all of the votes all of the time.

This is not a comprehensive outline of the platform of
David Ball campaign. We have many more ideas of how
to use our tax dollars to make Toledo a better place to live.
And we are always seeking good ideas for ways to improve
how the city of Toledo functions.
Speak up, get involved, tell us what you think.
