Our choice: Bill Roemer in District 1
Published on Sunday, Sep 07, 2008
In seeking re-election, Kostandaras, 71, the owner of Nick's Automotive and a former union official, faces an especially well-qualified newcomer, Bill Roemer, 52, a retired business executive. Since stepping down as director of sales for Ameritech (now part of AT&T), Roemer has plunged into community involvement. Among other things, the Richfield Republican is an instructor of finance at Myers University and a substitute teacher in the Revere schools.
We recommend the election of Bill Roemer on Nov. 4.
Roemer's substantial business experience would make him a more valuable asset as the county becomes increasingly involved in economic development projects. More, his educational background (a master's of business administration from Case Western Reserve University) promises to become increasingly valuable as the county faces a tighter budget. In looking at county spending, Roemer asks the right questions. He sees the full value of regionalism.
Nick Kostandaras has shown much energy in office. He has been attentive to local issues and grasps the need for consolidating county government. In this race, his achievements do not match the strengths of his opponent. The county would benefit more from the broader perspective of Bill Roemer.
