City's Office of Affirmative Action shutting down?

Mayor Carty Finkbeiner is proposing numerous cuts in the upcoming city budget, none more telling than the closure of the city's affirmative action/contract compliance office. Find Clyde Hughes' story here: http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070302/NEWS16/703020356

What do you think? Is this a terrible loss or will we miss it at all?

RE: Toledo Black Blog: Hosted by NOBMA

This is another step in our evolution with our new Blog dedicated to members and those who wish to comment on journalism, communications, or just about anything else. I went the cheap route with blogspot.com to get this started. I figured why reinvent the wheel. A link to this blog will be on the front page of our web site once that is up and running again. This will give members and the public immediate access to comment on what's going on in Black Toledo today. I hope this will also become a vehicle for members to do what we do best, which is communicate to the public and open up the forum of ideas. Please use as you wish and I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you.
