Members could retain leader or elect Klinger

Is Boss Arshinkoff in or is he out?
That's the question opponents of Summit County Republican Party Chairman Alex Arshinkoff have posed for eight months — and it finally will be answered in a meeting tonight.
The 400-plus elected members of the local Republican Party's central committee will meet at 6:30 p.m. at Tangier restaurant in Akron. They will decide whether to retain Arshinkoff, who has been chairman for nearly 30 years, or instead elect Cuyahoga Falls City Councilwoman Carol Klinger.
Before the meeting, the competing sides will hold receptions. The party's will be for the local GOP candidates on the November ballot, while Klinger's will give her a final chance to court committee members.
The meeting will begin with a chicken dinner, with the real business not expected to start until about 8 p.m.
One of the key early votes will be on competing sets of bylaws. The party's rules would forbid officeholders from being chairman, which would exclude Klinger. Klinger and the New Summit County Republicans' regulations say the party's leader can't be a lobbyist, which would shut out Arshinkoff.
Arshinkoff has promised the votes will be done by secret ballot, which is expected to make the meeting lengthy — possibly lasting past midnight.
Even if Arshinkoff wins, his opponents have promised they will continue the fight — perhaps simply delaying his defeat until another day.
