We will be working hard the next 10 days to ensure that November 8 is successful. I would really appreciate your help. Please spend a minute to talk with your neighbors, or parents during Trick-or-Treat, or your family about this election. Let them know that we need budget-conscious leaders.
We had a relatively short council meeting tonight. It was the last council meeting before Nov. 8′s election, if that means anything. My notes are below…
Council met before the meeting in executive session to discuss the promotion of an employee to coordinator of Stow Youth Services. The employee will receive the same salary that she did before the promotion.
Leaf pickup has begun. The city has completed its first round on District 1. But the trucks will be back shortly, so please prepare accordingly. The district map is pasted below…
Matt Riehl and I will hold our open hours on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in the second floor conference room at city hall. If you want to learn about what we stand for, or if either of us is someone you can support on Nov. 8, I encourage you to drop by and ask questions. I don’t mind if you disagree with me, and plan to not vote for me, but I do mind if you are intentionally ignorant of my positions because of something the Good Ole Boy Network has told you.
Congrats to Chuck and Brett Magilavy, the father and son team at the Diamond Deli in downtown Akron. Their establishment received great praise today from LeBron James, who sent this Tweet to his 2.68 million followers:
The Diamond Deli has the best sandwiches in the city! Damn

The Magilavys live in Stow. They are a great example of small business owners who are driving our economy. We need to craft tax and regulatory policies that allow them to thrive.
Stow City Council will meet Thursday at 7 p.m.
We are now down to single digits in available yard signs. Please let me know if you want one.
