Mayor gets 3 minutes in spotlight
BOSTON - Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic will get time in the spotlight at the Democratic National Convention -- if only three minutes.
The mayor is scheduled to speak today on behalf of the National Conference of Mayors, of which he recently was named president.
"I'll get three minutes, sometime between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m.,'' he said Monday.

FLASHBACK - January, 2004:
Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic whined, "We took guns away from the Wild, Wild West more than 100 years ago,'' he said, "and we're revisiting it. I really think it's a sad day.
"It's a real indication of the wrong direction that the state of Ohio has gone with these right-wing folks down there driving the issues. I cannot believe... the typical soccer moms in suburbia who have helped put these people in office are going to feel good when they go to the nearest Wendy's... and find a bunch of people with guns strapped to their hips.''
