CLEVELAND, Ohio – Critics of the Geauga Park District who have been banned from commenting at public meetings can’t get answers to questions they submit in writing either.

Members of Protect Geauga Parks submitted two pages of questions to Park District Executive Director John Oros in mid August. Oros replied in an email that he would neither respond to the questions or meet with the advocates.

The rejection comes on the heels of a decision in July that eliminated the public comment period at the park district public board meetings.
