David Sykes............................................................................................... Publisher Autumn Morgan............................................................................................. Editor Padberg & Lindsay for the Port Voters, as you consider the candidates on your ballot, please consider the importance of your choice. We believe each of us want someone who will support our community and meet the needs of our county as a whole. If a candidate has an agenda and is too focused on only one of these two, that candidate may not be able to do the job he is elected to do. We feel each community has received support from the Port of Morrow over the years either individually or through the overall success of the Port. This success has led to diverse jobs, which has brought more opportunity to Morrow County. We see a real value in retaining the two com missioners, Marvin Padberg and Larry Lindsay, with experience and knowledge of their positions. We believe this will keep the Port on track to act appropriately as opportunities arise, while continuing to provide service to all of Morrow County.
