State sues over East Fork Reservoir project costs
A Clermont County suit alleges the East Fork and Caesar Creek reservoirs violate the state constitution by obligating state funds beyond legal limits. Plaintiffs claim contracts total about 2.768 million with interest, requiring 112,804 yearly payments and long term maintenance costs, without citizen input. The action names Gov. Rhodes and DNRO director Teater, with Rivers Unlimited coordinating the case and other regional groups backing the suit.
