The SCPR is well into the 2010 election. The primary for the Republican and Democratic parties are scheduled for May 4, 2010 - only 159 days from today.
Recently, The Report did a piece on Steve Curtician who is running for the county commissioner seat currently held by Commissioner Todd Bosley (Democrat - Marlboro).
Here is a link to the prior piece (CLICK HERE).
The SCPR has a policy of allowing candidates to speak for themselves, especially in response to SCPR commentaries on their candidacy.
Here is the contents of an email received from Curtician earlier today:
Mr. Olson,
If talking about myself and previous accomplishments is “over
the top”, what platform do you recommend? I hear others talk about how
they have balanced a budget of a community and not even finish a job they were
elected to do. Isn’t that self promoting also. I understand the fact that
you think I am over the top, “Never under estimate a man, who over
estimates himself”, I get that, but I had to provide a platform of
accomplishments from my past or I may as well run as a ghost. I had to get your
attention somehow.
However, I feel the difference between myself and other
candidates at this time is real life experience, and we have a real life
situation in Stark County. Believe this, I will use every man hour, every
resource and every willing body to turn Stark County back in the right
direction. I have not forgotten what it feels like when your future is unknown.
As someone who has lived through these times, from the grass roots level, I feel
the pain and stress that the citizens are feeling today. Uncertainty is a tough
world to live in, these times are tough and now is the time for leadership to rise
to the occasion and promote Stark County to the World!
You can form your own opinion, I respect that, but let’s
all work together and make Stark County thrive again. Way too much violence,
too much unemployment and the morale of the County is falling rapidly. I have
explained to you in past correspondence my plans to address these situations,
but I would be thrilled to talk with you via phone, in person, or two soup cans
and a fishing line, you tell me?
Whether I win or not, that’s not important. My goal is to
get Stark County moving in a direction where people will be proud to say where
they are from, where they work, and the citizens of Stark County will be the
ones in the end, who will undoubtedly turn this County around.
Respectfully,
Steve Curtician
