State and Mahoning County officials plan major Tuesday announcement


YOUNGSTOWN

State Treasurer Josh Mandel, Mahoning County Auditor Ralph Meacham and the Mahoning County commissioners will make what is billed as a major announcement concerning transparency in Mahoning County government at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in the county courthouse rotunda.

The announcement will immediately follow the 10 a.m. county commissioners’ meeting in the courthouse basement.

Last week, Mandel urged Ohio cities, counties, townships and school districts to place local government checkbooks on OhioCheckbook.com, a web site launched Dec. 2, on which citizens can see every state government expenditure.
