I'd rather we fund our schools through income tax rather than property tax. This city is very renter friendly which places too much burden on homeowners.   more ›

If It Were Up to Stow, Mitt Romney Would be President

Take a look at the tallies for each precinct in Stow — did your section of town vote Republican or Democrat?

Barack Obama won the national vote and he won in Ohio. But, if Stow alone decided the next president of the United States, Mitt Romney would be the winner.  According to unofficial results from the Summit County Board of Elections, 147 more Stow voters picked Romney over President Barack Obama — who was re-elected Nov. 6, 2012.  In Stow, 8,863 voted for Obama and 9,010 voted for Romney.  One person in the entire city voted for Stewart Alexander of the Socialist party.  The polling results contradict a campaign donation report for Stow. Far more Stow residents gave money to the Obama campaign than Romney's.  3-B 4-E 0 1 1 12 448 522 3

That is why I moved to Stow. This city has more sense than the rest of Ohio and the country. This should tell you too that Stow would like more reporting conservative issues.   more ›

Meet One of Stow's Most Patriotic Poll Workers

Betty Destafano has been volunteering at the polls for 25 years and almost every piece of clothing she is wearing is red, white and blue.

Stow resident Betty Destafano got a call 25 years ago asking her to volunteer at the polls, but she said she wishes she had started 25 years before that.  The almost 70-year-old is helping out on election day for the 25th time. Destafano says she's very patriotic and it shows.  Nearly every piece of clothing and every accessory she had on while working at a table at the Akron-General Health and Wellness Center had a flag on it or was red, white and blue.  "I'm very patriotic — I stand for freedom," a smiling Destafano said. On Tuesday she was wearing flag socks, shoes, shirt, jacket, glasses, buttons and jewelry — including a flag watch and a ruby, sapphire and diamond ring.  "My friends give me red, white and blue flag things all the time…

(30 of 30 precincts counted) Statement from Rasor: "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 D'Antonio: "I would like to thank the…

People don't know there is a levy because they are ignorant and refuse to read. How is the district supposed to get the word? Knock on everyones door and then hold their hands to make sure they go to vote? Who is going to suffer through all this?? The kids of Stow. So when they grow up without the best education possible I hope they drive back here in their piece of crap car that the had to buy …   more ›
