As I celebrate my birthday today, I really have just one wish — that Ohio *finally* elects a governor who cares about cities like #Toledo. Ohio has cut $288 million from Toledo’s budget over the last 19 years. That’s $15 million per year, every year, for 2 decades. That’s the same amount of revenue we collect from our Jeep plant. So what state govt has done to us would be the equivalent of what would happen if Jeep closed. Every year. For 19 straight years. Toledo can’t do this alone. We need a partner. We need a friend. And that friend is @amyactonoh @OHDems

Here is my interview w @wolfblitzer on @CNN about the incident in North Toledo. The situation is improving — the temperature has gone down and the leak has dissipated significantly — but the evacuation and shelter-in-place orders are still in effect.

Sarah & I had a blast this morning on @UToledo campus for the annual homecoming festivities. The parade was a celebration of @ToledoFB, as always, and this year I also had the opportunity to help judge the homecoming floats. The energy was incredible! T-O-L … E-D-O!!! Go Rockets! @ToledoRockets 🚀

[Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz @wadekaps]

This is a huge deal for #Toledo! It’s not every day that a 160-year-old museum decides to relocate from Manhattan to our city, and yet that’s exactly what @ANSCoins is doing. Shout-out to @ToledoMuseum for helping to make it happen! https://t.co/2g7DnueYcJ via @toledonews

There’s still a buzz in the air after @ToledoFB pulled off an incredible comeback on Saturday. Down by 14 pts with just 1:05 left, the Rockets scored 2 TDs in 11 seconds — and then won in OT! This Saturday will be even bigger as @ToledoFB welcomes @AztecFB from @pac12 into the Glass Bowl for a nationally televised game on @CBSSportsNet. I’ll see you at the game … and let’s do this #ForToledo 🚀

Ohio’s cities provide 90% of the state’s GDP — and this proposal would provide them crucial resources without raising taxes. https://t.co/eQ8wslnRQI via @toledonews

Ten years ago, in 2016, the City of Toledo didn’t resurface a single road. Not one. Zero. Since then, however, we’ve dedicated 15x more funding to our road resurfacing program, and as a result, we resurface well over 100 roads per year — every year! We wouldn’t have been able to produce such incredible results without great partners like Geddis Paving, a 3rd generation Toledo business that has been serving our community for 80 years. I was thrilled to be able to honor them at their anniversary celebration last week!

A little rain isn’t going to stop the folks at the Birmingham Ethnic Festival & the Scott HS Alumni Picnic from having fun today! Lots of ethnic food & dance on one side of the river 🇭🇺 … lots of Bulldog Pride on the other. Everyone enjoying themselves! @BirminghamFest @scottpride2400

[Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz @wadekaps]

… then moved on to the Pride Parade where, as usual, everyone was in a great mood!

Nothing better than connecting with Toledoans at the neighborhood level! This weekend is full of opportunities to have real conversations with the people who make our city the special place it is. Started at the annual African American Men’s Wellness Walk …

[Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz @wadekaps]

Enjoyed a great dinner conversation last night w @MayorGinther, @JustinMBibb & the next Gov of Ohio, @amyactonoh. With such a small group, we had the time to dig deep into the issues facing not just our 3 cities — but all of Ohio’s cities. @OhioMayors have a friend in Dr. Acton!

[Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz @wadekaps]

Thousands of Jeeps, tens of thousands of tourists, millions of dollars of economic impact. There’s nothing like @ToledoJeepFest! This year I was honored to host a delegation from our @SisterCitiesInt in Toledo, Spain, including Mayor Carlos Velazquez Romo. Toledo loves @Jeep!

[Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz @wadekaps]

One of my favorite events every summer is the Community Day hosted by United Vision Baptist Church. Lots of kids & families had a blast this morning in Wilson Park getting back-to-school supplies, health screenings, haircuts, food & fun — all at no cost! Hats off to Pastor Perry Harris III, Michael Alexander, and everyone who makes this event such a success.

Today, a family experienced a tragedy that no family should ever have to endure.

What began as a roadside stop for a flat tire turned into a devastating incident involving suspected accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. Tragically, three members of the family have lost their lives, while two children currently remain hospitalized in critical condition.

Our hearts are with this family as they face an unimaginable loss, and we are praying for the recovery of the two children who continue to fight for their lives. We also extend our gratitude to the first responders, medical personnel, and law enforcement officers who responded swiftly and did everything they could under incredibly difficult circumstances.

While investigators do not currently suspect foul play, law enforcement will conduct a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened and provide the family with the answers they deserve.

Please keep this family in your thoughts during the difficult days ahead and pray for the recovery of the two children still fighting for their lives.
