Ridgeville Mayor’s Court dispute over magistrate pay
North Ridgeville council denied Mayor Jeffry Armbruster’s request for 5200 to hire a magistrate for Mayor’s Court. They argue residents should face the mayor when cases proceed, noting three hours weekly suffices given last year’s 5900 cases. Armbruster contends he lacks legal qualifications and that politics arise in courtroom duties, while council cites cost and existing duties.
