Konop plans Barbershop Tour...

From the Ben Konop for Lucas County Commissioner campaign:

Konop to Speak with Citizens about Community Issues at Local Barbershops

Democratic Candidate plans Barbershop Tour focused on listening to citizens’ concerns

(Toledo, OH) – On Saturday, October 28, Democratic candidate for Lucas County Commissioner Ben Konop will tour five local barbershops to listen to citizens’ concerns. The tour is as follows:

3:15- Destinee’s Hair and Nail Salon (3248 Cherry St.)
3:45- Annette’s Style Collections (1610 Lawrence)
4:15- Klippers Barbershop (3051 Dorr St)
4:45- Fosters Hair Concepts (1645 Bancroft)
5:15- Kings and Queens (16 Hillwyck Dr.)

“Many candidates have focused on what they think is best for Lucas County,” stated Konop, “but my campaign is focused on observing, hearing, and addressing citizen concerns. The barbershop is where people talk about issues with work, their family and their community. It is my hope that citizens will share their concerns with me and together we can move Lucas County forward.”

Media are welcome to join any part of the tour.

Say what you will about Ben, he's got one saavy manager/handler.

You can't take that away from him.

Let's see, when you take out the 10 minutes of travel time between locations, he will have about 20 minutes to listen to people, maybe.

This strikes me more as show than substance. I would rather see Ben going to a meeting in the evening at a church and spend more time.

Hooda, thanks for the compliment - but I must say, mostly the ideas do come from Ben. The barbership idea came from volunteer coordinator Gabrielle Seay.
