Probation Officials Spar Over Ford Case in Lorain County
Lorain County Judge Edward Zaleski ruled that Ford, a 9 year old sex abuse suspect, did not violate probation after a new indictment prompted attempts to revoke probation. Assistant prosecutor Thomas Mangan defended the judge and Migra praised for seeking safety, while Balena accused Migra of retaliation. The case may be revisited pending the criminal charge outcome.

Lorain County eyes piggyback tax to boost road funds
Lorain County officials discuss adopting a piggyback motor vehicle tax to fund road maintenance and safety programs. County estimates show an $11 million annual shortfall in road budgets and a $504,000 safety program gap, with current funds and a proposed $1 million annual boost still leaving a $200,000 shortfall. The idea has support from local leaders and the Lorain County Association of Township Clerks and Trustees.
