DISCUSSION: IS COMMISSIONER TOM HARMON IN POLITICAL JEOPARDY?

If about 90 Tuscarawas Township residents are correct, Tom Harmon may be about to lose at the game of political jeopardy.

The Massillon Independent reported on Sunday about a Saturday meeting of a group of 90 or so Tuscarawas Township residents to protest the recent approval by Stark County commissioners (not including Todd Bosley) of the Poets Glen annexation to Massillon proper.

The group which calls itself PUAMA (People United Against Massillon Annexation) vowed to defeat Tom Harmon at the polls in November unless he reverses course on the annexation.

The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) does not take a position on the annexation but does applaud the citizen activism demonstrated by the PUAMA folks. Tuscarawas Township is a relatively small part of the Stark County electorate and it would take a close election for the anti-Harmon group to be effective.

Question: Does Tom Harmon have anything to fear from this group?
