Sandusky Co. could consolidate part-time court positions

FREMONT, OHIO (Toledo News Now) - Sandusky County is one step closer to consolidating two part-time district court positions into one full-time position after the Ohio House unanimously passed House Bill 433 Tuesday.

The bill would allow the county to consolidate the positions and has the backing of Sandusky County Commissioners. County Administrator, Warren Brown, said consolidating the two positions would save taxpayers at least $20,000 a year.

"The commissioners see no downside to creating a job that's cheaper than the current positions," said Brown.
