One important issue that I'd like to talk about--and one that comes up as I visit neighborhoods across the city--is the Recall Issue. Clearly, a majority of the people I speak to about this topic are NOT in favor of the recall effort; they realize that this would be both costly and unwarranted, especially now, when economic times are difficult for so many people. They've made it plain to me that they're not willing to waste hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on these special elections -- just to satisfy the personal grudges and ambition of a few misguided people.As a city, we voted Mayor Plusquellic back into office just a year and a half-ago ago. Our votes were counted and our voices were heard. Now, with so many challenges standing before us, it's vital that we let government get back to work and focus on the business of our city--not on politics.
This is why I am eager to express and pledge my full support for our Mayor. He's guiding us in a positive direction, his performance and ability have been recognized on a national basis, and his leadership has helped earn Akron a strong reputation as a great place to live, work and invest. I'm glad to hear that a majority of our citizens feel the same way, whether they agree with the Mayor on every issue or not. For this and for so many other reasons, I encourage everyone to Just Say No to The Recall. To find out more about this issue, visit www.citizensforakron.com. - JEFF
