County Reform Proposal Aims to Reshape Ohio Counties
Ohio state officials propose a new county government model for all 88 counties including ordinance power for commissioners and a county executive with broad hiring and firing authority. Coroner engineer and treasurer would be elected replaced by appointed posts, while a Department of Law would advise commissioners separate from the prosecuting attorney. Huron County opposes, citing loss of public control.
