Election Day in the City of Champions

It's Election Day in the City of Champions and we urge all our faithful readers to go and exercise their right to vote.

And by tonight, some questions will be answered.

Will Team Cicchinelli be on the ascendancy and plant their flag in Massillon's First Ward, celebrating the election of former Safety & Services Director Mike Loudiana?

The thought of that happening just gives Sarita Cunningham-Hedderly the willies.

We believe it would be "extraordinary."

Will mayor in waiting Ed Lewis hang on to his Ward 6 seat? Word on the street is Lewis has been angling to run for mayor since he first took his council seat.

Will Nancy Halter's past support of hotels and golf courses bring her another term in Ward 2?

Will the Democratic vote in Ward 4 be diluted, resulting in Cicchinelli neighbor, Republican Jim Triner pulling the upset, and being elected in the traditionally Democratic southeast side ward?

None of the at large races are contested, but we will have a new member of council at large, as the Honorable Councilman, the Esteemed Larry Slagle, "Voice of the People," joins Ward 5 Republican Donnie Peters in temporary retirement.

Temporary retirement.

They both will be back.

Michelle Del Rio-Keller will take Slagle's place, a woman known for her intelligence and independence.

And who will be elected to our school board as the two incumbents, Phil Elum and Tom Seesan retire. Both Elum and Seesan are quality individuals and will be difficult to replace. They were never worried about who sat where at the school board meetings and could function as adults at the meeting.

We don't care who you vote for.

Just vote.
