		<description><![CDATA[Westlake's deer population never really bothered me.  Yes I would see them in the back of my property and they would nibble on a few flowers, but such is life in suburbia - specially one that looks like the metro park.

With Ohio’s unemployment rate at 10.9 percent, families have now endured 12 consecutive months of double-digit unemployment. They are looking to their elected leaders to guide our state out of this recession and do what it takes to create jobs.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=westlakewidget.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8940524&amp;post=46&amp;subd=westlakewidget&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
