I remember when Tom Williams was elected as Mayor of Norwood, Ohio. The city was in population decline. General Motors had left taking with it lots of income taxes. The homeowners were feeling apprehensive about their future. Businesses were declining on the main strip. The communities around Norwood was falling apart due to lack of care or concern. Norwood was becoming the place to be if you were down on your luck, a drug addict, wanted cheap rent, needed a minumin wage job, or wanted to buy a car at a buy here pay here dealership. Yes, the Mayor lived right in the middle of the change.
When he was elected Mayor I would think that he would start to address real issues right away. Nope, did not happen and has never happened. The Mayor will not highlight, address, discuss, mention nor will he deal with the Norwood that has changed right before his very eyes. I have watched it change since I moved here in 1993. The residents see the same changes I'm talking about. It is a change the Mayor is uncomfortable with. Please Vote him out and get a Mayor that will talk to you like the adults you are. Elect a Mayor that will not be afraid to discuss and tackle the tough issues of 2011.
