Land Lease Held Legal Says Ohio AG Official Sees No Criminal Conduct
Ohio's first assistant attorney general George Jenkins told The Messenger there is no evidence of criminal conduct in Ohio University attempts to lease airport land on Athens East State Street. He said pursuing civil action would be stretched and premature, awaiting OU trustees actions before any decision. The attorney general's office has seen nothing to indicate criminal actions or grounds for civil suits despite reports.
