News from the last day of March 2023, behind The Toledo Blade paywall:"A Lucas County judge granted a preliminary injunction Friday [31 March] to stop Toledo’s lead-safe certification rental law from going into effect on the day the new lead ordinance was scheduled to be enforced.Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Gary Cook ruled on the injunction Friday in a lawsuit filed by Toledo landlord and rental manager Charmarlyn Strong who is challenging the city’s lead ordinance.The city of Toledo has “passed, rescinded, and passed again multiple versions” of the ordinance, which has created a ”somewhat convoluted set of circumstances for the court,” he wrote.However, the injunction is not necessarily “a decision on the ultimate enforceability” of the proposed ordinance, the judge wrote.The next hearing on the case is scheduled for April 27.For now, the lead ordinance remains “status quo” until the judge can review all of the legal matters, city law director Dale Emch said Saturday.
