Riley seeks party status in Elyria debt case
Common Pleas Judge Floyd D Harris will likely rule this week on Elyria Patrolman Harlan Riley s motion to be included as a party in the suit against Elyria City Auditor Thomas M Radican Mayor Marguerite Bowman and 12 current and former city officials. The suit filed Sept 1 by Assistant City Solicitor Larry E Coey seeks a plan to reduce city debt and to determine if the auditor violated the law. Riley s request faces opposition from Radican and other defendants who argue against adding him as a party. The court may also rule on the defendants summary judgment motions this week.
