The Akron Beacon Journal did an interesting piece on Congressman Ralph Regula today.The theme of the article is Ralph's focus on his home area and being accessible.
A few slices from the feature:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He is repeatedly described as a person who has not forgotten where he came from and for whom he works.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ralph and Mary Regula have remained accessible — with their home number listed, even paying to have it in the Ashland, Medina and Wayne County phone books.
"In some sense, you really can't replace him because of his unique experience and personal virtues,'' said John Green, director of the University of Akron's Bliss Institute of Applied Politics. ''Either [Boccieri/Schuring] would do well to use him as a model."
Picking up on John Green's point. Will there be a drop-off in accessiblity with either Boccieri or Schuring? The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) believes there will be.
Schuring has already signaled that he does not consider the lop-sided Democratic city of Canton as being Schuring-friendly.
And, Boccieri? Are the folks in heavily Republican Wayne County, Ashland County and Medina County going to get much attention from him?
Who will do the better job in terms of accessiblity? Schuring? Boccieri?
