Chaos Unfolds in Nelsonville, Ohio: Two City Councils, One City Manager Dispute, and a Ballot Initiative Standoff In Nelsonville, Ohio, a city of around five thousand, a city manager dispute and a ballot initiative standoff have led to chaos. Bernie Roell insists hes still the city manager, despite legal advice saying hes not an employee anymore. This stems from a bigger fight where two groups claim to be the real city government. Voters approved Issue twenty-three, switching to a statutory mayoral form, but the city council voted to repeal it. The Athens County Board of Elections and the Ohio Supreme Court backed the new setup, keeping the races on the November ballot. Tensions boiled over when two councils met separately, with the hotel group, elected under the new form, facing threats of arrest if they showed up at city hall. A judges ruling confirms the repeal, but the hotel council voted to repeal the ordinance invalidating them, hoping courts sort it out before their next meeting. Nelsonville has a history of this kind of chaos, with past fights over city managers and even arrests at meetings. Officials like the Secretary of State are watching but call it a local issue for now. Checkout Solipillow.com
