Hearing on Proposed Oridnance Change Draws Large Crowd in Ohio

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio -- Long before the public hearing began, the Strongsville City Council Chamber's atrium and parking lot were full of people who wanted to discuss a proposed ordinance that some say would restrict the developmentally disabled.
Last week, Strongsville City Law Director Kenneth Kraus said that ordinance 2010-096 is a work in progress. Kraus said it is an attempt on the city's part to update codes.
Yet many who live in the town object to language in the proposal, including sections that would require 24-hour supervision of the developmentally disabled, and restrict where people with disabilities may be able to live.
