Betras asks for another investigation of elections board

For the second time this week, Mahoning County Democratic Chairman David Betras is asking the secretary of state to investigate the operations of the county board of elections.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner will reply shortly to both letters, said Kevin Kidder, her spokesman.

The second request came today after it was reported that nearly a year after the elections board voted to temporarily suspend its director and a clerk for failing to follow an internal-office policy that neither has served even a day of suspension.

“The public is now left with the impression that no one is accountable,” Betras said.
