Senator proposes checks on foster home backgrounds
Ohio Senate leader Alan Zaleski said he will introduce a bill to open otherwise sealed juvenile records to screen prospective foster homes. He argues that the criminal histories of prospective parents and their families should be confidentially provided to the children service agency to protect children in foster care. The plan follows inquiries on whether youths in homes with foster children should be checked as part of screening.

Justice center sites debated near Administration Building
In Elyria County officials bought the final property for a new justice center west of Court Street but Commissioner Mary Jo Vasi prefers sites directly north or south of the county Administration Building. She envisions preserving downtown character and possibly connecting the complex via an elevated walkway, noting south placement would require land from St. Mary Catholic Church.
