LORDSTOWN Electric truck startup Lordstown Motors Corp. has made good on its overdue real estate tax bills, plus a hefty penalty the automaker was given when it missed the tax deadline in early March.
Records show the company paid the $570,958 it originally owed to the Trumbull County Treasurer’s office and an additional $57,095 the company was fined for non-payment on four pieces of property it owns in Lordstown.
A company spokesman told the (Warren) Tribune Chronicle, the first to report the missed payments last week, then the situation was being rectified and later publicly chalked up the matter to an “unfortunate administrative error.” He did not respond to an e-mail Monday asking for comment on the payment, which according to Treasurer Sam Lamancusa, was made last Wednesday.

DEAR EDITOR:
I am tiring of Trumbull County Commissioner Niki Frenchko referring to our Italian-American elected officials as the “Good Old Boys.”
Which elected officials does she mean?
Is she referring to Commissioner Mauro Cantalamessa or Auditor Adrian Biviano? Or maybe our Treasurer Sam Lamancusa or Board of Elections member Mark Alberini or Probate
Court Judge James A. Fredericka?
I’m sure she doesn’t mean Diane Marchese or Karen Infante Allen.
All these elected officials have done a great job running Trumbull County.
I think she has a problem with those who have more common sense than she has. Voting against having a tented building constructed for the distribution of COVID-19 vaccine showed how much sense she has. This pandemic isn’t over.
