DISCUSSION: AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT AN "IN-TOUCH" COUNTYWIDE NEWSPAPER OUGHT TO BE DOING?

The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) spotted this promotion on the online Repository today (edited and rearranged for conciseness and brevity sake).

It is always gratifying to see Stark County's main local news source to be doing what it ought to be doing so that we have better informed Stark County citizenry.

The Rep has failed Stark Countians on the AEP/Ohio Power rate increase issue. One has to wonder what interests Repository "powers-that-be" are afraid of offending on this issue. Maybe someday we will find out?

The issue of AEP/Ohio Power aside, Stark Countians should be devouring the series starting Sunday in The Rep on justifying data and anecdotal accounts which substantiate Commissioner Todd Bosley's call for reforming Stark County's 9-1-1 system consonant with raising county sales/use tax revenues (1/4%).

The Report commends Executive Editor Jeff Gauger and the staff at The Repository for taking a thorough look at 9-1-1 as presently constituted.
