Kucinich, who represents Cleveland, has clashed with FirstEnergy before He filed a petition in February with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to revoke FirstEnergy's authority to operate an Ohio nuclear plant damaged by an acid leak. The Davis-Besse nuclear plant in Carroll Township has been shut down since February 2002, when it was closed for maintenance. The next month, leaks were discovered that had allowed boric acid to eat nearly through the 6-inch-thick steel cap that covers the reactor vessel.

Last week's blackout left 50 million people from the Midwest to the Northeast in the dark.

Experts have said the outage appears to have started on the northeast Ohio power grid owned by FirstEnergy, which has 4.3 million customers in Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. FirstEnergy spokesman Ralph DiNicola said the company is assisting Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham and his Canadian counterpart, who are heading a U.S.-Canadian task force investigating the blackout. "As far as presupposing the outcome of that study, we think that would be speculative and irresponsible," DiNicola said of Kucinich's petition. Should Old City Hall be used for commercial or residential purposes? Witter said he preferred commercial use. Councilwoman Val Culver, however, said she preferred residential use.

The EMS training area would have to be relocated. Brown said he recently visited some Country Club Acres housing sites, hailing them as "absolutely drop-dead gorgeous." He said utility costs at Old City Hall have been "eating us alive" on municipal ledger sheets. Port Clinton resident Betty Wharton asked if the $80,000 price tag was too low. Witter said he thought it was a good deal in fact, he thought the city would have to give the ramshackle building away to bring a developer to the table. "Just take the (broken) windows and start multiplying by $1,000," he said of the structure's sorry state.

Arrangements by Schoedinger, East Chapel, Columbus, Ohio. He also fought with power companies when he was mayor of Cleveland in the 1970s. Kucinich refused to sell the city's municipal electrical system to a utility now owned by FirstEnergy, and the city was plunged into deficit.

Kucinich barely survived a recall, and he lost re-election the following year to Republican George Voinovich, now a U.S. senator. Cleveland officials now say Kucinich's decision saves consumers money in electricity rates.

Call toll-free anytime night or day Continued from A 1 During a joint City Council committee meetingTuesday night, city leaders discussed the Country Club Acres offer. The firm is interested in buying the former city hall area, not the adjacent fire-EMS facility on East Second Street. No decisions were made, though Councilman Terry Witter raised a number of unresolved issues regarding the contract: The Findlay developer wants the use of 30 parking spaces. That could cause a crunch particularly when fire and EMS volunteers descend on the fire station during emergency calls. "I can't picture them parking on Jefferson Street and running to respond," Witter said.

A property lot split would be required. Law Director George Wilber is researching the issue, along with other details on sale of the city-owned building. Candidates can Continued from A 1 the apparent resolution, and owed multiple local, county and state officials a thank you including Sen. Randy Gardner, R-Bowling Green, who introduced legislation recently to ensure it didn't happen again. They cited Ottawa County commissioners, State Rep.

Chris Redfern, D-Catawba Island, and the members of the board of elections for all their efforts. "I guess the problem is solved, as far as I know, for now," said Blatt. His trepidation may stem from the fact that the Secretary of State's office has not yet weighed in on Mulligan's legal opinion. In fact, the state office has not been very helpful at all with regards to some guidance, leaving board members a little disgruntled. "I'm very disappointed with the Secretary of State for his lack of guidance on this issue," said board member Terry Lowe.

"I feel what we're doing is questionable at best." He added, however, that the only feedback received from the Secretary of State's office was to follow the county prosecutor's opinion, which the board did. Board member Hal Clagg apologized to the two potential candidates after the vote, saying he understood the situation was difficult for them. "I'm glad we were able to do something to handle the inequity," he told them as the men thanked him.
