EMAIL FROM STEVE CURTICIAN
Mr. Olson,
Am I still the most arrogant, over the top, holier than God self promoting candidate. I think this shows the inexperience of Jamie's life in the real world. He may be a trustee, but I will say this again and probably many more times, never underestimate the resolve of an ex Marine Desert Storm veteran.
I look forward to the challenge in May, but even more so, the relentlessnes of your expecting more out of stark counties elected officials and hopefuls.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year sir
Sincerely,
Steve Curtician
ORIGINAL POST
In his press release of earlier this week, Jackson trustee James N. (calls himself "Jamie") Walters tees off on sitting commissioner Todd Bosley as arrogantly (the SCPR's word) disregarding the people in voting in new taxes.
Walters' focusing on Bosley presents two problems for him.
First, he does have to win the Republican primary on May 4, 2010. Walters seems to think his name identity (implicit in his not addressing differences with Steve Curtician) with Stark County voters countywide will carry him to victory in the primary.
Assuming anything in politics is not very smart. Walters just needs to ask Allen Schulman about that. Years ago Schulman lost a congressional primary to a relatively unknown Democrat opponent because Schulman was focusing on Republican Ralph Regula.
In ignoring Curtician, isn't Walters demonstrating the same characteristic (arrogance) that he criticizes Bosley for: Why would Stark Countians want to exchange one arrogant politician for another?
Second, Walters assumes he will be running against Bosley. Such is not a safe assumption.
Bosley told the SCPR this past Wednesday that he is still mulling over a run for state representative in the 50th Ohio House district.
In assuming that Bosley will be the Democratic standard bearer as commissioner candidate may be incorrect.
Does Walters know the adage: "He who assumes is open to being tabbed
"ass-u- [or] me."
Hmm?
