To Lorain City Council and Administration: You’re all a bunch of low-life punks! Not ONE of you had the GONADS to call for Provenza’s resignation or the resignation of your democratic buddy Flores! I hope none of you have a job working for this city (oxymoron - working for the city) after next November! Mayor, your turn will come in three years! With elected officials such as yourselves…who needs criminals!

i dont understand how this man still has a law license, the bar association needs to investigate and determine if he is fit to practice, this is unacceptable, and the mayor should consult with outside counsel to see about getting provenza out, afterall he relies on the law director/prosecutor, for advice, this is not good for the city, and im sure the only reason provenza refuses to step down is because he has no other job, just keep suckin the taxpayers dry, why dont you try working for a firm or on your own, you would be bankrupt soon. if he had this dui record before he got his law license, they never would let him sit for the bar-he would not be fit for the practice
