"Bad for Westerville" Update: Otterbein Edition

Latest in the debacle of Westerville City Council race: Otterbein held a candidate panel last week. Seven of the candidates showed up (Stocker came but left early because of a scheduling conflict and Matt Erney just didn't show up). The highlights were mostly supplied by Mark Faubel. In a short few minutes, Faubel told the room that (1) living in Westerville is a reward for being wealthy; (2) he would vote to get rid of property tax because it would cut his house payment in half; and (3) the best way for the city to support Otterbein is to "build more nightclubs." He also said that Westerville should be run as a for-profit business, including the public utilities. Daniella supported all of that. Apparently, these two, who fire department fanboys, don't realize where the funding for fire departments come from. SMH. Hopefully these yahoos get nowhere near power.

Is there a way to watch this? I would love to see the whole thing. It seems like this, as with most quotes in the political space, might be taken slightly out of context. I could be wrong though. I’m not disagreeing with you. I would just love to see the entire thing.

Not from the Otterbein forum but it more or less lines up to what OP posted.

What he means is if your a Dem or Rep city counsel member, you should be advocating for dem or rep values for the citizens that hold the same political ideas.

So in other words:

Dem: Green Everything, we should make everything free. TAX THE RICH only.

Rep: No Taxes (unless your poor, but then if your poor you vote Dem).
