David DeChristofaro, the recently resigned Trumbull County engineer, is now a convicted felon. DeChristofaro pleaded guilty today in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court to theft and conflict of interest. The charges resulted from DeChristofaro using county resources for personal and political matters. He was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution and $7,400 for the cost of his criminal investigation.

Can't say that I'm surprised . . ..
This was nothing but a public smear campain. Now you'll get the bozo Randy Smith in there. Nothing but a sore loser who had to get into office one way or another... I'm not saying what DeChristofaro did was right.. But a couple of hundred dollars worth of thank you cards????? Come on.. Get real! TRUMBULL COUNTY.. LISTEN UP! You had a darn good engineer taking care of your county. Re-establishing the relationships that Latell and Smith utterly ruined. Now you'll return to a sour relationship with ODOT and probably lose funding and projects that should otherwise rightfully be yours. NICE GOING!
I doubt he cares---very light sentence.
Term limits, especially in Washington, have resulted in hyper-partisanship and nearly all lack of crossing the aisle.
You add term limits and you get single issue candidates into office who won't learn the job...they simply attack their one issue and are done.
There's something to be said for expertise and building relationships.
Also, it's well documented how this man misused country resources. Look in the back issues
Once again the arrogant "Ego" of an elected public official rears its ugly head. The "above the law", and "does not pertain to me" syndrome's just aren't located within the Beltway.
Once his unemployment checks start rolling in he can pay back the govt. with their own money...oops I mean taxpayer/voter money
