The rodeo is scheduled Friday and Saturday, August 13 and 14. Tickets are $15 for adults or $13 for the fenceline seating. Children’s tickets are $9, or $7 in the first three rows, and admission is free for those 3 years old and younger.
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Secretary of State Frank LaRose abused his discretion by denying Summit County GOP Chair Bryan Williams a third term on the county elections board.
The court directed LaRose to appoint Williams, a political rival within the Republican Party, to serve four more years on the Summit County Board of Elections.
Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor and the six members of the high court all concluded that LaRose did not show how Williams’ personal actions and behaviors disqualified him as incompetent. Ohio law directs the secretary of state to appoint county election board members nominated by their local political parties, unless the secretary finds the nominee to be incompetent.
