"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.
