The 2024 Logan County Investitures Ceremony took place on Tuesday, Dec. 31, at the county courthouse in Bellefontaine. Six people took the oath of office as administered by Ohio Supreme Court Justice Patrick Fischer, who began by calling for a better relationship between the executive and judicial branches of government, stating, “We have too many laws.”
