Commissioners reject $300K for embattled Geauga County Judge Tim Grendell
- Geauga County Commissioners on Tuesday shot down a request from embattled Probate and Juvenile Court Judge Tim Grendell for $300,000 in taxpayer money to cover attorneys' fees for his disciplinary case and his appeal.
The Geauga County Commissioners have rejected a request from Judge Tim Grendell for an additional $300,000 to fund his court operations, which he claimed were necessary due to increased workload and staff shortages. The commissioners, however, expressed concerns over the lack of transparency and justification for the funds, especially given the court's history of financial mismanagement and Grendell's controversial tenure. This decision comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of Grendell's management, including issues with his handling of juvenile cases and previous financial requests. The rejection highlights the tension between the county's financial oversight and the judiciary's operational demands, with the commissioners urging for a more detailed and justified budget proposal before considering any future funding.
