Senate seat candidate: Mark Haverkos
Mark Haverkos has invested himself in various school board, county commission, city council and township trustee meetings for the past five years “because I’m interested in the county and what’s happening with the people that live there.
The former candidate for the Lakota school and state school boards said he feels “the people are underserved.” He concedes the elected officials have done a good job on some things, “but I think more time needs to be spent on it.”
“I’d like to try to fix some of the things I see is wrong with the county,” he said. “ Even though the senate position is seen as a state representative, I think it’s also the senator’s job to pay attention to the business at hand in his county.”
The owner of Hotsite Data said he saw the financial issues the county and school boards are facing three to five years previously.
“There’s unfinished business to be had in the county,” he said.

So attending meetings qualifies a person for public office. I think I shall run for president. Haverkook is a joke.

This guy thinks attending a few meeting qualifies him for a state senate seat, that says it all about Mr. Haverkook.

Does Mr, Haverkos think he running for the senate seat or county commission? From his remarks he sounds like he’s running for county commission, watch out Don Dixon.

Showing up at commission and township meetings is more than I can say for Bill Coley. He never shows up or any answers questions.If you don’t know whats happening in your County you’re no use to the citizens.

It’s time Haverkos takes the hint; stops running for political office and meddling in all these meetings. No one is paying any attention to him or looking for advise from him. He is what he is and thats a nut who likes to hear himself talk.

The comments by “Bill” as in Bill Lack will only cost the campaign of Mary Swain a fortune in 2012.
