Medina County charter dispute reaches Ohio Supreme Court
Five Medina County residents ask the Ohio Supreme Court to order the county board of elections and Secretary of State Jon Husted to place a county charter on the November ballot. The board tied, Husted broke it against the charter, and the suit claims illegal unilateral action. The charter would keep existing offices but ban fracking, fracking waste disposal, oil and gas exploration, and related extraction equipment. Protests in Athens Meigs and Portage counties may follow to the high court.
