A Toledo city hall prank at the expense of Mayor Carty Finkbeiner created a downtown whodunit yesterday.
For several hours during the day, the telephone voice mail greeting for the city's purchasing hot line was, "Carty Finkbeiner is a complete moron."
Katerina Bekyarska, a spokesman for Mr. Finkbeiner, said the outgoing message was changed immediately after it was brought to her attention.
"Someone obviously went in and - trying to do a joke, not a very good one - went in and recorded the message," Ms. Bekyarska said.

Could have been done better...
Welcome to the City of Toledo Purchasing Department. If you want to speak to our moronic mayor, Carty Finkbeiner, please say, “Carty Finkbeiner is a complete moron, but I want to speak to him anyway...”

"Someone obviously went in and - trying to do a joke, not a very good one - went in and recorded the message," Ms. Bekyarska said.So, Ms. Bekyarska obviously knows a lot of funnier Carty Finkbeiner jokes.
Would be nice if she would share them.

Seems pretty obvious their voicemail system still had its default password of “1111” or “1234” in place.
