The Ohio Supreme Court today dismissed the legal appeal of former Trumbull County Commissioner Dan Polivka filed following his defeat by challanger, Niki Frenchko in the November general election.
Frenchko, a Republican, defeated then-incumbent Democrat Polivka by 4.5 percentage points Nov. 3.
The court document announcing the Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss the case was signed by Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor and filed today. The notice also stated that Justices Sharon L. Kennedy and Jennifer Brunner did not participate in the decision. Kennedy had removed herself in an earlier high court action involving Frenchko.
Rick Brunner, attorney for Polivka and husband of Justice Brunner, filed a notice of appeal for Polivka with Ohio’s high court Feb. 22.

WARREN During a Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District meeting Tuesday marked by gridlock, with the six county commissioners mostly voting against the other county on most of the issues raised, Trumbull County commissioners reasserted a desire to break up the district and separate from Geauga County.
The district’s board is composed of the three Geauga County commissioners James Dvorak, Timothy Lennon and Ralph Spidalieri and the three Trumbull County commissioners, Mauro Cantalamessa, Niki Frenchko and Frank Fuda.
The six split, voting on county lines, on nearly every issue in the nearly two-hour long meeting full of tense debate and more than one or two terse, sarcastic or insulting comments.
