County home rule study gains county support
In a move toward evaluating home rule for the county, Commissioners Hill and Weir voted to place the home rule study commission before voters. They acknowledge Act 62 opens options and a possible removal of county commissioners, while Rzymek abstained, arguing insufficient knowledge to decide. The study commission will review the proposition for 12 to 18 months to provide answers.
