Supreme Court Decisions Spark Ohio Extra Session Call
The Ohio Supreme Court handed down key rulings Thursday declaring the Cleveland charter unconstitutional and ousting Mayor Johnson while keeping Mayor Jones in Toledo. A stay of execution runs to October 24, and Hamilton and Cuyahoga county salary laws survive. An extra legislative session is deemed necessary to address the unconstitutional acts and realign state law. Gov. Nash and Republican leaders endorse the call for action.
