Residents of Canton’s Ward 8 lost its council representative this week with the resignation of attorney Edmond Mack. He is moving to the Ridgewood neighborhood in Ward 7. Residents of Ward 8 will get a new council representative, but not of their choosing.
The laws of the state of Ohio are often written to benefit the two dominant political parties. The selection of a successor for Ward 8 council member is an example of how. Leaders of the Democratic Party will choose Mack’s successor because he is a Democrat. It is as if the party owned the office.
If the laws existed to serve the citizens rather than the political parties, it would not be hard to hold a town hall meeting where any interested resident of Ward 8 could come together to elect a temporary successor.
This is not a criticism of the successor the Democrats will announce. It is a criticism of party over people.
