The Republican Party has traditionally been about fiscal responsibility and limited government. Massillon City Council has only had one Republican councilman in the last five years. That has been Donnie Peters, Republican, from Ward 5.
Unfortunately, Donnie has spent most of his time on council being a reliable vote for the Cicchinelli agenda. Happy to go along, and follow the lead of Council President Glenn Gamber, Donnie has been a disappointment to Massillon's Republicans. Until yesterday.
Peters voted no to using our park tax dollars to fund a restaurant buyout. He told The Independent that he opposed the city being in a business that could be done better by the private sector.
Welcome back to the fold Donnie. The lost sheep has returned to the flock.
