Transit resignation

WARREN

Michael Verich notified the attorney for Trumbull Transit, the county’s public transportation system, he is resigning as mobility manager effective Sept. 30.

Verich has been paid $3,000 per month for multiple years to lobby in Columbus on behalf of Trumbull Transit and to work out arrangements among various service providers to improve transportation opportunities.

But some on the transit board felt it could no longer afford Verich’s services because of funding losses. During a discussion July 30, Verich offered to work for half of his old salary, and the board approved.
