Infighting among the members of the Western Reserve Port Authority has prompted commissioners from both Mahoning County and Trumbull County to ask their respective prosecutors' offices whether they can reorganize the port authority "to answer directly to the Mahoning and Trumbull commissioners instead of its own board; and whether the commissioners have the authority to remove a board member," The Vindicator reports. While port authority board member Rick Schiraldi cited only "business and personal commitments" in his April 25 resignation letter, commissioners from both counties feared that he was in reality "among port authority members who believe their personal and business reputations are being damaged by the 'dysfunctionality' of the board," the article said.
