Toledo Tales

(Toledo, OH) Opal Covey, former mayoral candidate and self-proclaimed Prophetess, suggested in an interview with Toledo Tales that Mayor Caty Finkbeiner's recent heart surgery is directly related to land giveaways for the DaimlerChrysler Jeep plant on Stickney Avenue.

"He was dividing God's land," Covey told the Tales. "I would say, 'Woe unto any mayor of Toledo who takes a similar course to appease the shareholders of a major corporation doing business with the city."

Covey said that God revealed the strategy to her during a recent vision.

"God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone,'" she said. "Sure, it was mostly rundown houses and auto repair businesses, but it was still His land, and He is, indeed, pissed."

In 2004, Finkbeiner underwent quadruple bypass surgery at the Cleveland Clinic for arterial blockage. Covey said that the condition was not coincidental.

"Carty bypassed the homeowners and the Lord, so it's no surprise he needed a bypass," she said. "I think we need to look at the Bible and the Book of Joel. The prophet Joel makes it very clear that God has enmity against those who 'divide my land.'"
