Commissioner Candidate Responds to Business Forum Criticism

Republican Commissioner Candidate Nancy Adams believes that Bob Harper’s criticism of the Valparaiso Chamber’s Candidate Forum is another effort to divert attention from the real issues facing Porter County citizens. “The issues are job creation, quality of life, and local government efficiency, not who is formulating or asking questions at a public forum,” she said.

The citizens of Porter County can’t be fooled by Bob Harper’s political games, Adams said. As a career politician, the last thing Bob Harper wants to do is attempt to defend his record that has led to rising unemployment, no vision for economic development, and no plan to move our community through these tough economic times She added that she has been invited to a number of candidate nights by other groups and the issue of who is asking the questions at those has not come up. “It seems petty and paranoid that he does not trust the Chamber,” Adams said.

Adams said she appreciates and has complete confidence in all of the groups that are taking the time to organize these opportunities for their members and the public to hear from the candidates and ask questions that are important to them. “I have no concerns at all about the integrity of the good people who are hosting them,” she said.
