Spotlight: Former Mayoral Candidate on Don Plusquellic's Leadership

About 20 years ago, Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic won a hard-fought Democratic primary against public relations expert and community leader David Meeker. It was a tough campaign, with plenty of back-and-forth, as Plusquellic defended the seat he had inherited when then-mayor Tom Sawyer was elected to Congress.



In this video, Dave talks about the leadership and passion that Mayor Plusquellic brings to his job, as well as the remarkable progress the city has made during his tenure in office. He also addresses the need for all of Akron's citizens to work together toward positive goals - particularly during tough economic times like we are experiencing right now.
