The Endorsements Keep Rolling in!

One advantage of being involved in public service for a number of years is that you have the opportunity to work with and support a number of fine people, and as a result, they are happy to recognize the fact that results are what count most. With that in mind, it's always nice to have the support of great individuals and organizations, and here are just a few we'd like to recognize:

SUPPORT OUR MAYOR - SAY NO TO THE RECALL

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

COMING TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SOON...

Welcome and thanks for visiting the Fusco for council website! We're really excited about the upcoming campaign season and I'm looking forward to hitting the streets and meeting as many people as possible. I'm also eager to hear your views and ideas on how we can make our neighborhoods safer and even better places to live, as well as to hear your thoughts about the direction our city is heading.

As a former City Councilman at large, I've had the experience of representing and serving you before - not only on council, but also as a Deputy Service Director for the City of Akron. I'm eager to put that experience and know-how to work again, so we can keep our city on the right path as we head into the future. The best way to start is with an open mind and honest, thoughtful dialogue...and that's what I hope we can share as I visit various neighborhoods throughout the city. Hope to see you soon! - JEFF
