Appeals court upholds Jen’s release in Allen case
The 9th District Court of Appeals rejected prosecutors challenges to Lorain County Judge James Burge’s resentence of child molester Joseph Allen, who had five consecutive life terms and was freed in April due to a sentencing entry flaw. The court likewise rejected appeal attempts in Nancy Smith’s case, noting no resentencing occurred yet, leaving Peters to seek new trial based on newly discovered evidence including a video.

County eyes deal to cut dump fees with Allied Waste
Lorain County weighs a sliding scale rebate plan to Allied Waste that would lower tipping fees at the New Russia Township landfill. The district would pay 75 cents per ton on the next 200000 tons after 200000, rising to 1.50 and 2.00 per ton for higher volumes, plus a 1 per ton payment to the county fund. Allied dumped 927179 tons last year, including 613386 outside the county, and may bring in about 1 million outside tons if fees drop.
