"I doubt anyone running for City Council is doing it so they can be 'fat cats,' 'abusing local taxpayers.'"

Dear Editor: I glanced when the phone rang a couple weeks ago, and the caller ID tagged the call as coming in from Louisiana. It was one of those wonderful electronic voices telling some juicy tidbits about a City of Rochester resident that happens to be in his first run for City Council in our lovely community. Wow, the scandal I was hearing about – this Robot Lady sure knew a lot about THE TROUBLE … RIGHT HERE IN ROCHESTER CITY … LOTS AND LOTS OF TROUBLE !!! I quote some of the shocking, juicy, robo-call soundbites: “fat cat politicians abusing taxpayers;” “it happened right here in Rochester;” “he went on a luxury taxpayer-funded junket…attended by nearly a dozen of his political cronies” “he arrogantly defended his decision to drain …

He is one of six candidates seeking a seat on Rochester City Council.
In walking the streets of Rochester, knocking on doors and talking to people about his campaign, Stan Surratt thinks often of his grandmother. She was the first woman elected to the Ohio state Legislature from Lucas County, where Surratt and his family are from. That was 1944. "I always had in the back of my mind that there was a little political blood in me, and that's maybe what drives me," said Surratt, who is seeking his first public office in running for Rochester City Council. "I think about her a lot, although I really have no political ambitions other than this one here in Rochester. If I were happy with where things were going, I wouldn't be running." Election Day is Tuesday in Rochester. Voters will elect City Council candidates …
He is one of six candidates seeking four spots on Rochester City Council.
When Steve Sage sought an appointment to the Rochester City Council in January, he made it clear that his service to the city would not be a short-term stint. "I said then that I intended to run again, and not just be on council for nine months," he said. Sage was appointed then to the vacant seat left by Jeff Matis, who left City Council after being elected to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. Next week, Sage is vying for a long-term seat on City Council. Election Day is Tuesday in Rochester. Voters will elect city council candidates and members of the Rochester Board of Education. Sage is one of six candidates for four positions on the Rochester City Council. The three candidates who receive the most votes will serve four-year …

Downtown business owner is one of six candidates for Rochester City Council.
It was a parking lot that first spurred Cathy Daldin to get involved in local government a few years back. As a homeowner on Pine Street, near downtown Rochester, Daldin was upset to learn about plans to tear down two historic homes across the street from her house; she was even more dismayed to watch a parking lot be built in the homes' place. The longtime resident started attending Rochester City Council meetings. Soon after, she sought out a way to get more involved in her city and was appointed to the Downtown Development Authority Board. "I knew, though, that if I really wanted to make a difference, I would need to be on City Council," Daldin said. Which brings her to Election Day. Election Day is Tuesday in Rochester. Voters will …
