Columbiana recorder to recall laid-off workers

LISBON — Columbiana County Recorder Craig Brown said he will recall two laid-off workers by March 1 now that he’s been given the same amount of money he spent in 2006.

Brown had been contemplating filing a lawsuit against the commissioners to get more money for his office.

The recorder had laid off two workers — half his staff — when he was given a temporary appropriation for January. He also reduced office hours.

But the commissioners today unanimously approved appropriations for the remainder of the year for all county offices.
