A coalition says Cuyahoga County needs to catch up with the rest of Ohio when it comes to the sheriff, demanding voters elect, not appoint
CLEVELAND, Ohio -Appoint or Elect? Does Cuyahoga County need to catch up with the rest of Ohio when it comes to the County Sheriff?About a dozen members of the Northeast Ohio Public Safety Foundation gathered today in Tremont to send a message.
“We believe that the Sheriff in Cuyahoga County needs to be an elected office,” said Jonathon Petrea, Northeast Ohio Public Safety Foundation.Right now, the Sheriff is appointed by the county leaders.“It’s worth noting here in Cuyahoga County that we have had 9 sheriffs in 12 years, for anyone in Cleveland, that’s almost as bad as Browns quarterbacks. The men and women and women of our department need some kind of continuance of leadership,” said Colin Skikon, Local Laborers 860.
As the county searches for the next sheriff, the group hopes the public can be a part of the process. The group is asking County Council to put a resolution on the ballot for the November general election or next year’s March primary. Another way is via petition. They need 42,000 + signatures from registered voters in Cuyahoga County.
