Coroner Protests Lorain County Government Reform Plan
Lorain County coroner Dr. Stephen Evans filed a formal protest with the Board of Elections over a reform proposal to replace the three member board with seven district based council members. He argues the petition lacks a district appendix needed for ballot approval and warns the charter would need 2018 amendments to form districts. Evans says voters should choose the coroner, noting positions would be abolished Jan 1 2019 and corridors filled later by council appointments. The board split on the appendix issue with Democrats against and Republicans in favor. Secretary of State Jon Husted ruled the missing appendix not a fatal flaw. The reform drive remains not on the ballot after falling short of signatures.
