"I think the biggest problem with Stow's elections are that candidates are unwilling to discuss the issues, and how they would resolve them. Without such a contrast, often it becomes a name recognition game. Regardless of the forces at play with my re-election in particular, I am very grateful for the strong support. I will continue to fight for efficient use of government dollars and for transparency at city hall."

Statement from Costello:
"I would like to thank the residents of Ward 2 for giving me the honor and privilege to represent them for another two years. I pledge, to the best of my ability, I will continue to be fiscally responsible while maintaining and providing the services our citizens deserve and expect.
Starting next year we will have a new Mayor, but many of the same problems. With the help of an improving economy, I hope we will see increasing revenue so we can address some of the more glaring needs of the city. If the economy does not improve and revenues do not increase, then we will have to make some very 'tough' decisions to maintain services and the needs of the citizens."
