Why is that?
Because you come across Stark County's "politically" significant people there.
For instance:
Two weeks ago it was Sheriff Swanson in his dress top and blue jeans.
Last week Perry Township trustee Anna Capaldi and Deputy Sheriff Rick Perez.
And yesterday?
Jackson Township James Walters.
Walters' visit could be a harbinger of an "up close and personal relationship" with Commissioner Todd Bosley.
How's that?
The thinking is that Walters is assessing whether or not Walters is going to run against Bosley when Bosley comes up for re-election next.
But that possibility is not the focus of the blog, the graphic notwithstanding.
The treat was a colloquy between Bosley and Walters on the 0.50 percent "imposed" sales/use tax Issue 5 coming up for a vote this coming Tuesday.
In the opinion of the SCPR, Bosley was trifling with Walters on whether or not this Jackson trustee is going to vote for "Yes" on Issue 5. The SCPR suspects Walters knew what was going on and was having a hard time finding an exit point.
Moreover, he was likely thinking: "how is sales/use tax promoter Randy Gonzalez (Jackson Township fiscal officer) receive this report when he hears about?"
Hopefully, Gonzalez (said to be a huge fan of the SCPR), will send yours truly an e-mail with his reaction.
Bosley tells the SCPR that the conversation got quite heated later on (after yours truly left).
Next time, The Report will stay until the bitter end.
Nevertheless, watching the commissioner and trustee parry with one another was a treat. And just in time for Halloween. Or, was it Bosley playing tricks.
The video that follows is The Report's Halloween treat to SCPR readers.
