DISCUSSION: KUDOS TO SECREST FOR OUTLINING COUNTY COMMISSIONER ISSUES: WILL HARMON, HAGAN AND FERGUSON FOLLOW SUIT?


The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) is impressed with county commissioner candidate Republican Travis Secrest stepping front and center with a list of issues he thinks are the most important to be resolved in order to ensure a bright future for Stark County.

But The Report will be following up with questions on points made in Secrest's issue presentation. In fact, The Report has already fired off an email to the candidate with a number of questions about "Stimulating Stark County's Economy and Protecting Our Jobs."

The Report anticipates Secrest providing timely and responsive answers to pass on to The Report's readers.

One thing The Report can say about Secrest's listing of issues is that in doing so, he sets forth an "informative to the voters model" for candidate Harmon (D - Secrest's opponent), and Hagan (R) and Ferguson (D), the candidates for the remaining commissioner seat to embrace.

The Report is skeptical that Harmon, Hagan and Ferguson will follow the Secrest model. But maybe the Secrest initiative will put some pressure on them to do so.

Question: Should Harmon, Hagan and Ferguson publish their issues and answers a la Secrest?
