Congratulations Sara Drew!
Both Ms. Drew and Mr. Buck were great candidates and many were impressed with how well Mr. Buck campaigned considering this was his first run for public office. I'm sure it's not the last we'll see of him and I hope he'll be able to continue to contribute to Stow. Both are valuable.
Sara, you will be in my prayers that He will grant you and your family health, strength, protection and wisdom as you take on this new role for our city.

Welcome, Mayor Drew. I applaud your dedication and spirit. Hopefully, you will be blessed with a Council you can work with. I hope you will support our Fire Department and not sacrifice them in favor of the Police. Both are essential. The Fire Department is well managed, professional and has generated funding via a levy and ambulance billing, which generates nearly $3 million annually. Plus, they have been very successful securing grant funding.

Joann, maybe you should think "threw" your comments before posting them. Whatever your daughter's problem is at the school, the Mayor is not the person to go to get it resolved. Try approaching a school board member like Rod Armstrong.

Joann, it sounds like you may want to go back to elementary school.
