GUESTS:  Bob Savage Sr. and Micheal Alexander


WTOL 11 recently reported how some local

business leaders were “working to gather petitions to equalize mayoral and city
council term limits.”

According to a press release from BJ Fischer, the

individuals feel that other cities in Ohio have benefited from the stability that having a mayor in office more than two terms can provide.

The question would go before voters in

November. Supporters say it would give voters the option to “choose stability.”

She has looked at the ways in which people
