Reason # 4 to vote Dansack for District 46 State Rep.

Press Release, November 5 , 2006

For immediate release

Mark Dansack Stands for Change in Ohio, Mark Wagoner protects the status quo.

Beginning October 31, Mark Dansack will be recapping over the next week the reasons why residents of District 46 will be better served by electing a voice for positive change in Ohio rather than his opponent, who embraces the present "pay to play" dynamics now running rampant in Columbus.

Reason #4, Honesty and Integrity

Mark Dansack has conducted his campaign with the highest degree of honesty and integrity. He has focused, from the infancy of his campaign as a write-in candidate to attempt to make the November ballot, on giving the citizens of District 46 a choice between positive change and the status quo in Ohio which has seen ethical lapses by our governor and others in state government, corruption running rampant within the Bureau of Workers Compensation resulting in the waste of billions of taxpayer dollars, no-bid contracts awarded to GOP contributors, jobs leaving our area at an alarming rate, and no progress being made on our public school funding dilemma.

Mark Dansack comments, "For most of the campaign, Mark Wagoner acquitted himself quite well with respect to his candidacy. However, for much of the last five to six weeks, he has innundated the District 46 residents with negative flyers and negative TV commercials, knowingly misrepresenting my position on taxes. I've heard from many citizens in the district who are sick of these tactics, not only locally, but at the state and national level as well".

"With respect to honesty, there are two key moments that come to mind for me in the campaign which call into question Mr. Wagoner's honesty and credibility. The first was a student forum at Anthony Wayne High School that we attended together on September 25, 2006. One of the questions from the student audience was asked of both myself and Mr. Wagoner. ' Have you ever received a $10,000 contribution from an individual?' My opponent and I answered no. The records, however, reflect that Mr. Wagoner accepted a $10,000 contribution from Wayne Boich of Miami Beach, Fla on September 19, 2006.

The second incident occurred when we met with the editors of The Blade for our endorsement interview. One of the editors asked Mr. Wagoner if, in fact, he believed that some of the flyers accusing me of wanting to raise taxes were "over the top". Mr Wagoner sheepishly admitted that they were "over the top", and his response has been to continue to mail, mail, and mail some more to the point that some of the letter carriers in Maumee are voting for me simply because my opponent is making their job so difficult with the additional weight of the trash Mr. Wagoner and the ORP is sending out on his behalf that they are being forced to carry. At least the mail carriers in Maumee and elsewhere don't have to tote his rancid TV commercials around in their mail bag!"

"Two situations, when given the choice between doing the honorable thing or not, and my opponent chose to do the wrong thing. Makes one wonder how many other situations may be out there that we don't know about in which the same course of action is being taken".

Dansack concludes, "No matter the outcome on November 7, I'll walk away knowing that I have conducted an issues oriented campaign, trying to encourage a dialogue about jobs, education funding, and cleaning up the mess which is our state government. I'll also walk away with my personal integrity, which is not for sale, no matter what the price".

Thank you and have a great evening,

Mark
