Ohio Senate bill would make Struthers Municipal Court judge full-time

Ohio Senate Bill 484, proposed by state Sen. Al Cutrona, would make the Struthers Municipal Court judge’s position full-time. If approved, the current judge, James Melone, would serve full-time through the end of his term on December 31, 2029, with a full-time judge elected in 2029. The bill is under Senate committee review and still needs approval from the legislature and governor.
