John Hagan is a true blue "free enterpriser." For him, the marketplace is a cure for everything. Governor Strickland had to fight him "tooth and nail" to keep electricity rates affordable.Where it works, private enterprise is terrific. But the marketplace does not work when a few companies control the marketplace. In Econ 101, this is called a monopoly. And we all know what happens when a few get control of a vital commodity. Prices soar - unless there is government regulation.
Because of Hagan (Public Utilities committee chair) and his Republican caucus in the Ohio Legislature, Stark Countians are very likely to see their natural gas bills double this winter.
Hagan's recklessness in the Legislature with the essential commodities of electric and gas make him a very dangerous person to sit as a Stark County commissioner.
Don't Stark Countians have to think not once, but two, three or four times about voting for this guy?
