Our choice: Todd Snitchler in the 50th District Republican primary
Published on Monday, Feb 11, 2008
We recommend the election of Todd Snitchler on March 4.
Snitchler, 37, is a Uniontown attorney whose solo practice focuses on estate planning and advising small businesses. He has a strong grasp of the challenges the largely rural district and the state as a whole face in strengthening the economy. He takes a thoughtful stance. To spur job creation and retention, for instance, he favors initiatives that encourage local colleges and entrepreneurs to scale up commercially viable ventures (such as ''green'' technologies).
Snitchler argues that the uneven funding and quality of public schools are major drawbacks for the state. He cites the frustration of property owners with the unresolved school funding issue. He sees a role for himself as a squeaky wheel on education, advocating best practices and different combinations of taxes to ease reliance on local property levies.
To his credit, Snitchler would bring a broad base of knowledge and experience to the office. He is an alumnus of Leadership Stark County, past chairman of the Lake Chamber of Commerce and president of the Lake Township Development Foundation.
Christine Hagan, 19, is a sophomore at Malone College and the daughter of the incumbent. She argues that young people need to be part of decision-making. She explains she feels called to serve, understands the responsibilities and has the work ethic to succeed. She sounds genuine. That said, in this race, Todd Snitchler is by far the better candidate.
