We're able to give you an inside look at the Republican National Convention, thanks to North Canton resident Jordan Greenwald
The Republican National Convention is underway in Tampa, FL, and sure enough, we've got some North Canton representation there. North Canton resident Jordan Greenwald has sent us a few photos this week, including shots of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and presidential candidate Mitt Romney's wife, Ann. This national convention is a first for Greenwald, former member of the school board for North Canton City Schools. "It's been an absolute blast," he wrote in to us today. "The speakers have been great and diverse. The loudest cheers of the night came for Ann Romney. John Kasich was great. One of the best speeches came from Artur Davis. Scott Walker received several standing ovations and Chris Christie spoke from the heart and fired up the …

The two attended their final meeting as North Canton City School Board members Thursday night
Nancy Bundy and Jordan Greenwald reflected on their years on North Canton City Schools’ Board of Education at their last board meeting Thursday night. Bundy, a member for 12 years, chose not to run for re-election this year, while Greenwald, board president and member for four years, was defeated in the November election in which five candidates vied for two board seats. Superintendent Michael Gallina had kind words for both, praising Bundy for her 12 years served, and crediting Greenwald for serving as board president during a difficult financial time for the district. “We certainly appreciate your leadership as president and the fatherly approach you bring to things here, always reflecting through your children’s eyes and your wife’s …

Jeanette Mullane, Stark County Board of Elections director, said voters who think they should have voted in the North Canton School Board race will not have another chance to vote
North Canton Patch has gotten word that several voters believe they received the wrong ballots regarding the North Canton City School Board race on Election Day.

Jeanette Mullane, Stark County Board of Elections director, said it’s a common concern she hears every year, and it’s likely the voters were confused about which district they lived in but still received the correct ballots. The North Canton Church of Christ polling site brought in voters from four precincts (North Canton 2C, North Canton 3B, Plain 10 and Plain 29). She said each of…
