Judge grants 90-day injunction to halt computer removal in Lorain
Lorain County Common Pleas Court Judge Adrian Bedleski granted a 90 day preliminary injunction to stop removal of computer equipment for Lorain’s self-funded health insurance program. The order requires the city to secure a legal contract with Thomas Patton of Diversified Benefit Plans Inc. by February 29 or risk dissolution of the injunction and loss of the system. The ruling comes as the city faces questions on a $241,000 contract and owes Patton $8,000 for December and January with a further $4,000 due for February. The judge also overruled Patton’s bid to dismiss the city’s complaint and noted an ongoing probe into contract legality by the prosecutor's office.
