Although Monroe County commissioners are in full support of the Second Amendment, they said they are unable to declare the county a “Second Amendment Sanctuary.”
Instead of signing the petition as requested by a group of “concerned citizens” last month, the Monroe County Board of Commissioners signed a resolution Monday that states the board supports the right to bear arms and encourages the state legislature to establish Ohio as a “Second Amendment Sanctuary.”
Commissioner Mick Schumacher said commissioners are unable to declare the county a “Second Amendment Sanctuary” because they are do not have the authority to legislate. If they did, the document essentially would be meaningless and have no legal standing, he added.

CADIZ The Harrison County Board of Commissioners signed a proclamation Wednesday presented by Tri-County Help Center recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
As a part of Tri-County Help Center’s annual campaign to spread awareness, staff have attended commission meetings throughout the week in Belmont, Monroe and Harrison counties, where the agency provides services.
On Wednesday, Chelsea Scott, administrative compliance coordinator for Tri-County Help Center, said each year they ask officials in each county to accept and declare the proclamation identifying April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Scott read the proclamation, which calls on members of the community to aid in the efforts to expand sexual assault prevention efforts and help to ensure the next generation adopts attitudes that support and promote healthy relationships.
