Block Communications sues Lucas County over legal notice contract

Block Communications Inc. has sued the Lucas County auditor and county commissioners after officials awarded a contract to publish a list of tax-delinquent properties in the Toledo Legal News instead of The Blade. The commissioners selected the Toledo Legal News on the advice of the county prosecutor’s office, which said the publication qualifies as a newspaper of general circulation. Commissioners Lisa Sobecki and Anita Lopez voted on Tuesday afternoon for the Toledo Legal News, owned by Schubargo Publications, which bid $55,000 for the contract. The Blade, owned by Block Communications, bid $230,982.57. Commissioner Pete Gerken was absent from Tuesday’s meetings. The lawsuit, filed shortly after the decision, argues that the Toledo Legal News does not meet Ohio’s requirements as a newspaper of general circulation because less than 25 percent of its content is editorial. After the meeting, Mathew Beredo, vice president and general counsel for Block Communications, approached Ms. Sobecki and Ms. Lopez and warned their decision would make way for lawsuits. “With all due respect, there’s no better way to hold up the foreclosure process for property owners than to give them a ready-made defense. This is handing the 23 pages of delinquent taxpayers a very strong, I would

Fremont mayor critical of court's leniency of man who threatened him

FREMONT – Judge number three took the bench at the Fremont Municipal Court Nov. 3 in the case of the man who left a threatening voicemail for Fremont Mayor Danny Sanchez . The man who said Sanchez was on a hit list paced back and forth outside the courtroom door, periodically sitting on the bench with victims and other offenders. His sentencing for aggravated menacing and telecommunications harassment, both first-degree misdemeanors, was to take place Nov. 3. The man pleaded guilty to the charges Sept. 15. Sentencing was delayed for at least 30 days for a previously ordered pre-sentence investigation. The probation department that conducts them was not informed of the court order, so did not conduct the investigation. Under Marsy’s Law, also known as the Ohio Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights, the probation officers include a victim’s impact statement outlining how the crime affected the victim's life. Meanwhile, an increasingly irritated Sanchez stood outside the courthouse giving a laundry list of problems with the case and argued some probable violations of Marsy's Law occurred. “I don’t think I’ve been represented fairly in this case as a victim,” Sanchez said. “I don’t feel I deserve any special treatment, but I
