Cuyahoga County Issue 13: Proposed Charter Amendment, Director of Law Duties
Source: app.enhancedvoting.com
What does this measure do?
This change to the county charter would make the county's Director of Law the main lawyer for labor talks, contracts, and public records, while lawsuits stay with the elected Prosecuting Attorney. It changes who gives the county legal advice and does not change your taxes.

A YES vote means
The Director of Law handles the county's non-lawsuit legal work, such as contracts and labor talks. The Prosecuting Attorney keeps all court cases unless the Prosecutor hands one over.
A NO vote means
The charter is not changed, and the split of legal work between the Director of Law and the Prosecuting Attorney stays as it is now.
