Toast the Huron County Commissioners for moving forward with a $1.5 million project to replace the heating system in the courthouse and county office buildings on Main Street. The project itself is a good one, and will save the county money in the long run by increasing the energy efficiency in those buildings. The commissioners also deserve credit for not balking at the price tag, which could be as much as $2 million, after bids came in well over the county's initial estimates of $965,000. Sometimes it's cheaper to spend a little more money before a situation becomes an emergency. Roast the fact that Ohio is ranked fourth in the number of federal complaints filed by military reservists and National Guard members who contend they illegally lost jobs, pay or benefits because they were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, according to a U.S. Department of Labor report. Now that the limits on the number of times a reservist or guard member could be deployed have been eliminated, businesses are placed in a tough position. However, businesses owe it to the brave men and women serving our country to follow the laws in place that protect the jobs and personal lives of those in the armed services.

GM and Ford hang by their fingertips off the edge of a cliff. Toyota is standing above them playing "This little piggy went to market." The soon-to-be-largest-automaker-in-the-world has just dropped a $5-billion investment into the one major product segment in the U.S. car market it has yet to dominate, according to "Automobile" magazine. That investment is called the Tundra.

The legislative committee of the Norwalk Area Chamber of Commerce is reactivating and we are very excited and fortunate to have Jeff Reed heading up the effort. In Jeff's words, "last fall's election and other pressing issues show we must be more proactive in making our views known to the public and legislators." We couldn't agree more. While many people do not like politics and therefore don't get involved, the consequences are that someone else decides matters of importance for you and your business. We need to do a better job of organizing ourselves and using the strength that comes from standing together on issues. We will be holding an organizational meeting in a couple of weeks and if you or someone from your business would like to be involved please contact the office at (419) 668-4155.
