DeWine starts new program housed in Youngstown

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced today that a new program to help local governments collect debt will be located in Youngstown.

The Local Government Collections Services Program will allow local government entities throughout the state to request the attorney general’s office collect debt of at least $100 they are owed. Most of the debt would be court fines and costs.

The program will start shortly with five new employees at the attorney general’s office in the city-owned 20 Federal Place, a downtown office building.

If the program grows, DeWine said he’s committed to expanding it exclusively at the Youngstown office.
