What comes around goes around, or, what you reap.. - The Democrats
The incumbant, Steve Ross, has complained bitterly of the campaign tactics employed by his opponant - Dave Thomas. Dave Thomas, it would appear, studied the tactics used by one Steve Ross against David Niezgodski four years ago. Misleading charges, pandering to simplistic viewpoints - those appear to be a winning strategy in our District.
Dave Thomas makes much of Mr. Ross' failure to repeal the so-called wheel tax. He decries Mr. Ross' results at securing higher dollar amounts for road repairs in our District - despite the fact Mr. Ross has made plenty of noise on the topic.
One legitimate charge he makes is Mr. Ross' poor conduct involving County personnel - highlighted by his driving away a highly regarded County Engineer - Susan Al-Abassas.
But when I asked Mr. Thomas what he hoped to accomplish as Commisioner at the Dygus Day event, he could only regurgitate Ross complaints and point out that he was an accountant. I gave him three chances at this question, phrased differently each time. I think we have the answer.
Mr. Ross has been an embarrassment. He's called out county personnel in public forums (an absolute no-no in the Kindgarten Intro To Management courses) repeatedly. He's suggested that poorly paid staff should pony up the cost of their required continuing education courses.
So with two lousy "Democrats", we should look at the Republican.
Richard J. Zeigler, Sr. - A Hearing Voices special
It turns out that Mr. Zeigler is running because God has been speaking to him on the topic for about ten years.
So, Progressives, South Bend offers a poll on this topic (vote in comments):
Mr. Zeigler has picked this time because:
A. God became worried about the statute of limitations and applied more pressure.
B. Mr. Zeigler's listening skills aren't all they should be.
C. Chris Riley was even more desperate than usual.
D. Juan Manigault didn't like his chances.
