DISCUSSION: BOCCIERI OR SCHURING - WHO HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE ON OVERSIGHT?

President George Bush and his administration have sat by, despite early warning signs going back some two to three years, and let Wall Street mismanagement mature into a $1 trillion raid on American taxpayers (middle class folks, for the most part).

The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) could not but help recall how 16th Congressional District candidate Kirk Schuring sat on the Ohio Retirement Council (including a stint as its head) and let the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio (STRS) take a huge hit on the pension benefits of the hard working teachers of Ohio.

So no doubt about it, Schuring has actual experience in ignoring looming problems and being part of allowing a crisis to get to fruition.

So far as The Report knows, John Boccieri has never sat by and allowed things to get out-of-hand on his watch.

The question: Wouldn't Schuring be a better fit in Washington than Boccieri? Hasn't Schuring proven that he is a master at looking the other way as troubles bubble up until headlines appear?
