Ohio official prohibited from contracts with interest in family or associates
The Ohio Revised Code bans officials from authorizing public contracts when the official or a family member or business associate has an interest, a fourth degree felony with up to five years in prison. The case hinges on whether there is a monetary or fiduciary benefit, with the notion of flow through funds complicating fiancee scenarios. Meanwhile, the supervisor job remains open and may be civil service certified if readvertising proceeds.

Hazardous materials plan advances in Clermont County
Conover urged state agencies and the EPA for hazmat training and equipment as trucks crawl I-75 and I-275 routes. He noted 10 percent of 1014 northbound trucks bore hazmat placards and that 1700 to 2300 trucks daily divert to I-275 east through Clermont. A hazmat task force was formed with Clermont Fire Chiefs backing. He seeks approval from local life squads and officials, but county commissioners have not responded to a June request.
