The Clerk's Office returns unused $100,000 from 2018 Legal Division budget to Commissioners
The Legal Division of the Lorain County Clerk of Courts office has collected more than $105,000 through its Inmate Collections Program. “If the prosecutor’s office is expending resources to prosecute these cases, and our judges are ordering the defendants to pay costs, restitution and fines, then my office should make every attempt to collect those amounts due to victims of crime and the taxpayers of Lorain County,” Orlando said in the release.
Tom Orlando and his staff were charter members and helped launch the Lorain County Good Deeds program. “We wanted to bring government to you, rather than having you go out to government,” Orlando said.
