Thoughtful Editorial About Ohio In The Akron Beacon Journal

The Beacon points out that Ohio's population is shrinking. As a Buckeye, I hope we can turn it around. I really appreciate the Beacon's emphasis on technological innovation. I would also like to point out that Ohio should advertise itself on the two coasts as a very nice place to raise a family--good neighbors, slower pace of life, short commutes, great parks and good schools (that are dealing with recessionary spending cuts). I can also add that the city of Akron has a great library system. In this era of telecommuting, I think that several people in New York, Philly, and Washington would like a more family friendly place to raise a family. We also are the home of the best athlete on the planet--LeBron James.

Moreover, I hope that we will be the site of the 2020 Olympics--the Lake Erie region's chance to really show itself to the world.

As for the local economy, I am convinced that Ford, Chrysler, and GM will turn around and remain strong.
