Furmon v. Hubble for commission

By Josh Sweigart | Tuesday, October 14, 2008, 07:30 AM

After struggling through an epic Republican primary, long-time Butler County Commissioner Charles Furmon now faces Democrat Butch Hubble in November.

Here is the story. Here are the vitals:

Furmon:

• Age: 68
• Profession: Retired Hamilton police officer, county commission for three terms.
• Platform: “To do whatever I can to better the quality of life for the citizens of Butler County.”

Hubble:

• Age: 64
• Profession: Retired Navy officer and San Diego police officer
• Platform: “I know for a fact that we have an abundance of resources in our area that don’t seem to be used. We have to do something; right now I’m not seeing anything done.”

There’s a lot more in the story, including specific examples of what Furmon says he has accomplished in his years on the dais and specific initiatives Hubble wants to implement.

Read the story then come back and tell me: Who has your vote?
