Dave Schulz Files Action In Court Of Appeals To Prevent McCloskey From Being Seated
Tomorrow, former City Council Candidate Dave Schulz and his lawyers will formally file an "action of quo warranto" against Bob McCloskey in the 6th District Court of Appeals. On Friday December 9th, Schulz will file the lawsuit at 10:30 a.m. at the Lucas County Common Pleas Clerk of Courts on the First Floor of the Courthouse. A press conference will be held on the Third Floor landing of the Lucas County Courthouse at 11:00 a.m.
The term "quo warranto" translates to "by what authority". An action of quo warranto is taken against a person who usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or exercises a public office, civil or military, or a franchise, within this state.
On the heels of the Lucas County Board of Elections certifying Mr. McCloskey's illegal election against Dave Schulz's formal objection, this legal action is necessary to protect the interests of the citizens of Toledo.
"The voters of Toledo expect their elected officials uphold the laws they are sworn to uphold. McCloskey's blatant maneuver around term limits erodes public confidence in government. It must not stand.", Schulz states.
During the past election Schulz was the only candidate who questioned Mr. McCloskey's circumvention of the city charter. Although Schulz would not benefit from the disqualification of Mr. McCloskey, he feels compelled to keep pushing the issue until it is resolved.
"My campaign was about principles and I will continue to fight for the issues I raised during my campaign. I am putting my money where my mouth is to assure that our elected officials obey the law. My legal team and I are prepared to fight this battle as long as it takes.", Schulz declared.
A diverse legal team represents Schulz. His attorneys are Mark Berling and Terry Lodge. Mr. Berling is an accomplished trial and death penalty defense attorney and Terry Lodge is known for championing many social causes and fights against corporations.

And yes, that was me on the radio.
Thanks Bob for giving me a chance to say GOOOOO DAVE!!
:-)
DAMN IT I MISSED IT! rats.
lol, I said I supported Dave and I really think the ethics issue is important. Just basically what I've said here and on Toledo Talk, cept for Bob was surprised it was me. I said I had to call in for my favorite Republican. I might adopt Bob's definition of me "one of Toledo's most prolific bloggers" lol
Bob did a pretty good job of addressing the issue that Dave is not doing this to gain anything and that we don't even know if the court case is successful what will happen. Dave touched on that as well. Bob brought up Frank briefly. Dave wasn't on that long but over all? It was more positive than negative. Dave got a chance to state this was a non-partisan issue and that he thinks highly of both Bob V and Karen.
You wouldn't have learned anything new, since we've both been following this cept what I sound like and that they don't know how the procedure would work if the suit is successful if the next two highest vote getters would move up or if there would be a special election for the seat/seats or an appointment.
I just think it's a sad state of affairs that the City Government would put themselves first ahead of the city.
It truly disgusts me that petty juvenile antics and political posturing just to "be someone big in this town" blinds to the fact that Toledo needs a lot of work before anything can move forward.
All this crap does is cost money unnessassarily. There has to be better things these politicans can do other than screw it's constituents over on a weekly basis, you know?
This is what has my dander askew.
You'd think instead of staying home and not voting, you just go vote against the person you don't want in.
That is just way too simple and logical.
AH!
oh yeah, I hope those greedy accident scene chasers don't get renewed. I hope it breaks them and drives them into the ground.
The other thing besides these idiot politicans that askew my dander is the greedy selfish UGH! cheap overpriced scam artist passing themselves off as EMS ripping people off.
I curse them with bad voodoo. Really bad nasty go out of business voodoo.
hmmm maybe I should get out my old vodoo dolls...
:-)
nothing less than the "hula voodoo doll" from RONCO will suffice.
I've tried cheaper versions of the voodoo doll and have had disasterous results.
For instance, I tried to vex an oil executive with a cheap imitation and my car ran out of gas. Tried to vex the Burger King king guy and ended up with food poisioning.
So quality does make the difference, and the difference is the RONCO "Hula Voodoo Doll", in stores now.
There's this little store...in New Orleans....I'm sure it surivived because it was up higher
:-)
Just ask for Mama Mumbo Jumbo, she's the local ward chair ;-)
