Lucas County voters may soon have the opportunity to elect a commission to propose a reform of Lucas County government. Pete Gerken, president of the Lucas County board of commissioners, announced Wednesday that he and other county elected officials will support a ballot initiative to establish a charter county government commission.
Toledo voters will get to decide Nov. 3 whether to keep Mayor Carty Finkbeiner in charge of the city for the two months that will remain in his term, the Lucas County Board of Elections decided yesterday.
An effort to recall Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner has collected almost 20,000 valid signatures to put the recall question on the Nov. 3rd ballot. 19,753 signatures were required to trigger the recall effort. If recalled, Finkbeiner will leave office with about two months left in his term.
