Kettering Residents Welcome State Sen. Jon Husted "Home"
KETTERING – Tomorrow, Kettering residents will welcome State Senator and Republican Secretary of State candidate Jon Husted “home.” In a special trip back to Kettering, Husted will be headlining the Montgomery County Lincoln Day Dinner tomorrow. Here is what Sen. Husted's constituents and neighbors had to say about this rare visit:
"Maybe I should meet Senator Husted on I-70 and make sure he knows the way, since it has been so long since he has been to Kettering," said Kettering resident John Murphy.
"I am shocked Senator Husted is stepping foot in Kettering at all," added Fred Schindler. "At least the Republicans at the dinner will get to see him, but we never see him."
Concerned that he might not remember his way "home," the Ohio Democratic Party sent Jon Husted directions to Kettering yesterday.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer said Husted's Kettering home had "tightly-drawn blinds and a six-week-old stack of newspapers next to the front door" upon its investigation and that "cobwebs were beginning to creep over a front picture window." [Cleveland Plain Dealer, 9/9/08]
