Drugs found

YOUNGSTOWN

Police found four bags of suspected crack cocaine on a man they pulled over for making an improper turn about 6:35 p.m. Thursday.

Atty. Large’s law license reinstated

WARREN

John Large, whose law license was suspended for two years in 2012 for professional misconduct, has been reinstated to the practice of law in Ohio.

In a ruling Friday, the Ohio Supreme Court said Large had substantially complied with the order of November 2012 that suspended his license.

The order allowed six months of the suspension to be stayed under certain conditions.

The suspension was for misconduct in dealings with three clients and for lying to the Ohio Supreme Court while seeking reinstatement for an earlier disciplinary suspension.

Nurses reject offer

EAST LIVERPOOL

Nurses at East Liverpool City Hospital have rejected the hospital’s last contract offer, meaning that a proposed merger of the hospital and Humility of Mary Health Partners is probably dead, the hospital says in a statement.

A statement from the East Liverpool Nurses Association says the hospital has “repeatedly tried to bully our nurses into accepting their unfair proposals — all in an attempt satisfy a possible business partner without regard for what’s best for the nurses and the community,” according to The Vindicator’s broadcast partner 21 WFMJ-TV.

The union says the last offer threatens to take away the nurses’ rights and benefits. The hospital counters by saying it has presented nurses with what it feels is a fair and competitive contract that compares favorably to other health-care facilities in the region.

For now, the hospital continues to accept patients, and the 133 nurses remain on the job with the hope of returning to the negotiating table.
