"Time is of the essence." A phrase that lawyers often place in contracts when a date certain for contract completion is part of the terms and conditions of a given contract.
Well, time is of the essence for Stark County citizens and their representatives in local government to weigh in against the mammoth increase (52% - residential, 62% business) requested by Ohio Power to be approved by the Ohio Public Utilities Commission (PUCO).
Stark County is fortunate to have public official Louis Giavasis (Plain Township trustee) out beating the bushes among his fellow of local government to get them all to object to the proposed increase.
How successful has Trustee Gisvasis been?
Highly successful! But more work needs to be done.
Residents of East Sparta, East Canton, Louisville, Minerva, Magnolia and Waynesburg need to be calling their mayors and councilpersons and insisting that they participate in the Giavasis-led effort.
Even though Lake (for the most part) and Lawrence will not be directly affected by the projected increase, Giavasis has brought these communities on board THE STOP AEP HUGE INCREASE EXPRESS.
Louis Giavasis, isn't he an example of behaving as a government official ought to be? If more Stark County local government officials led like Giavasis leads, wouldn't Stark Countians have more confidence in local government leadership?
