Inauguration to Prompt State Office Departures in Lorain County
James Rhodes will become governor January 13, triggering departures of deputy registrars for auto license plates and clerical staff as the new Republican administration takes over. In Elyria, deputy registrar Marsico and five fulltime clerks, all women, along with about 25 part timers, face exit or re assignment. Some staff anticipate a month or more for the transition as computerized equipment and new licensing systems require retraining. Marsico plans to retire from the insurance business, while Toberen faces retirement and younger staff lack ready roles. Cleveland Crecaders coach Jon Maura was fired and John Vivian named to replace him for the team’s next game.
