Bill to subject Ohio to court action proposed
The Ohio State Bar Association backs a bill to subject the state to lawsuits. It would set a method for filing claims and require legislative approval, moving away from the current difficult process under the Ohio Constitution.

Ohio Court Will Review Park Land Condemnation
The Ohio Supreme Court agreed to decide if public works director George B. Sowers had authority to condemn land for a park. It will review Lorain county cases where Sowers sought to condemn land in Black River township for a Lake Erie park after offering $63,000 to William G. Schaffer and others and $35,000 for Lorain Concrete Products land. Lower courts ruled he lacked authority. The ruling could affect Lake county actions as similar condemnations face lawsuits over legality.
