Judge Mark Belinky

YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County commissioners today hired an outside lawyer to represent Probate Judge Mark Belinky, who has threatened to file a complaint in the 7th District Court of Appeals concerning the court’s budget.

At Judge Belinky’s request, the commissioners voted Thursday to hire Atty. John B. Juhasz at $150 an hour at the taxpayers’ expense, but his fees are to be capped initially at $10,000.
