DISCUSSION: STARK COUNTY FIRE CHIEF ASSOCIATION "PERSONIFIES" THE PROBLEM WITH STARK COUNTY 9-1-1:


In his letter to the editor toThe Repository (May 14, 2008), Stark County Fire Chiefs Association president John Bacon says it all

He says "IF (emphasis added) the current problem in Stark County ... ."

Bacon's word "if" communicates a lot. Bottom line Bacon doesn't think there is a problem with Stark County's 9-1-1.

Bacon's letter was in reaction to a Repository Editorial Board editorial of May 9th entitled "Summit County is beating Stark County to the punch."

The editors open with the poignant question: Must Summit County always be ahead of Stark County in streamlining government?

The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) couldn't agree more with the editors. People like John Bacon stand in the way of a real solution to the 9-1-1. And, yes, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Dordea (the provincial who wants to be Stark County sheriff), Mr. Secrest (the party liner who wants to be Stark County commissioner), there is a real problem with 9-1-1 in Stark County that needs immediate fixing.

"Immediate" even in the minds of proponents of a fix means two years. To the likes of Bacon, Dordea and Secrest, two years is going to fast.

The Report believes that John Bacon is best represented as being an Ostrich with its head in the sand. Remember in his own words he says: "If."

It is only when Stark Countians starts besieging the likes of Bacon, will a 9-1-1 fix get rolling.

Agree or disagree?
