Hardesty’s residency faces court challenge
By Sam Shriver - sshriver@limanews.com
LIMA Former Lima law director Richard Siferd filed a lawsuit Thursday in Allen County Common Please Court on behalf of Alice Donahue of 1175 W. High St., Lima, challenging the residency of Lima mayoral candidate Elizabeth Hardesty.
Named in the lawsuit were Hardesty, the Allen County Board of Elections, the Election Board members and the City of Lima.
While the Lima mayoral election is a non-partisan race the two top vote-getters among the four candidates running in the May primary will advance to the General Election the lawsuit lines up Democrats against a Republican. Siferd is a former Allen County Democratic Party chairman and Donahue is also a Democrat. Hardesty is a Republican.
