Bob Owens has the lowdown of the situation in Toledo, OH, where Mayor Carty Finkbeiner had stopped a planned urban combat training exercise. He’s apparently been taking quite a bit of heat from the general public, understandably, and may now be looking at a revolt by the city’s council.

The Toledo City Council, in conjunction with county officials, are attempting to make amends with a resolution that will be introduced later this morning that will provide an abandoned mall as a training location for the Marines.

In addition, the resolution will offer to pay the Marines for the lost training costs, and offers to pick up a free night’s stay for each of the 200 Marines anywhere in the city, and will provide passes to area restaurants and events. They will also apologize on behalf of Toledo to the Marine Corps.

Finkbeiner, described as an “arrogant bully,” but one person close to the story, will face a City Council resolution expected to pass 12-0.

Bob says that even the Toledo Chamber of Commerce is revolting, with one member writing in an email that, “”all of the community suffers unnecessarily because of the unfortunate action of the Mayor.”".
