Highways case file moves toward action by top attorney general
A file of allegations against former Oberlin Highway garage superintendent James E. Corcoran sits in Attorney General William Brown's office with a decision expected in about two weeks. BBM records cite misuse of state employees on a home remodeling project at 316 Oxford Ave Elyria. Corcoran denies the charges and says he has receipts. Investigations by the Ohio Highway Patrol and previous DOT probes are referenced, with earlier probes transferred due to staffing limits. The 1975 code provision allows civil or criminal action upon such findings.
