Asking if Don Plusquellic should be mayor is a loaded question. Sure, there have been some issues during Plusquellic's tenure. After 20 years on the job, some criticize the mayor for being cocky and abrasive. He has earned quite a reputation for his mouth and his attitude.
Mayor Don Plusquellic, thank you for your 19 years of service as mayor of Akron. You have rejuvenated downtown and made headway in restoring the Rubber City economically. It's time, however, for you to move on. Plusquellic is up for re-election. And as sure as any warm body on campus can win a spot for a vacant student government senate seat at the University of Akron, he will win.
