Lake Station Mayor Bill Carroll will face one fewer opponent in November after a successful challenge ousted Independent Kevin Gaskin from the ballot.
The Lake County Board of Elections Tuesday voted 4-0 to support a challenge to Gaskin’s eligibility filed by Lake Station Councilman Rick Long, D-5th, seeking to remove him from the ballot. A challenge to a mayoral candidate can be filed by anyone who lives within the city.In the challenge, Long cited court documents indicating Gaskin plead guilty to a felony, criminal recklessness, in 2008. That felony was modified to a misdemeanor after Gaskin completed the terms of his probation.
He argued the court reduced the charge after he successfully completed his probation and believed because the charge is now considered a misdemeanor on his record he would be eligible to run. “ helps from a personal standpoint. From a candidate standpoint, at least as I see it, it doesn’t help,” Smith said.
“The law can be very harsh and, in this case, I think it is,” Smith said. “This prevents you from running for officer forever.”
