County charter opponent gains side in Ohio Supreme Court case
An Athens woman, Joanne Prisley, was granted permission to intervene in the Ohio Supreme Court case challenging whether Athens County charter proposals appear on the November ballot. Prisley argued that the secretary of state’s review focused on content rather than proper ballot submission. The ruling follows Husted’s earlier decision upholding protests in Medina and Fulton counties. Charter supporters had sued for the high court to order placement on the ballot.
