Marines told by mayor they can't train in Toledo

Here is the link. It seems the mayor has a real problem with the Marines. They had done this 3 times before and no problems other than the mayor.

A good friend of mine is in that unit.  He called yesterday and said the training had been cancelled.  He didn't give any more info than was in that article.

Holy cow.  All you have to do is read some of the comments under the article to see what kind of whack jobs live in this country.  I bet a few of those that troll these boards would agree with them...

FTA... the training was conducted four times before and the last time while Finkbeiner was mayor.

NBC24 spoke to Jack Smith who recalled that after the Marines last visit, he and the mayor had a heated exchange about the training.


I get the feeling something is missing from the story.
