LeSuer defends hiring of wife amid job retribution claim
Lorain Civil Service Director Ted LeSuer says attacks on his wife's provisional city job are retribution for his stance against eliminating the director's post. He notes the hiring was legal and a competitive test was not given due to workload before she was laid off. Koscho counters that LeSuer uses good government rhetoric while criticizing him. The budget hearing may address eliminating the director's job.
