It's not something anyone looks forward to receiving but earlier this week, subpoenas from the Mahoning County grand jury went out.

    We are told that close to 22 subpoenas either have or soon will be delivered, all asking for documents or information concerning the sale of Oakhill.

    Mahoning County Treasurer Lisa Antonini confirmed she did receive a subpoena earlier this week asking for documents related to any communication she had regarding the sale of Oakhill.

     Antonini and her attorney, Damian Billak, say they will cooperate fully with the subpoena.

     Mahoning Prosecutor Paul Gains says the subpoenas are part of an ongoing investigation by the Ohio Ethics Commission.

    Since grand jury proceedings are secret, Gains would not tell us if the grand jury will be meeting anytime soon.

     Billak, however, tells us that the subpoenas are asking for all the information to be returned to the grand jury by April 24th.

    Commissioner John McNally said he did not get a subpoena and he did not know anything about the investigation.

     In October, Mahoning County leaders spent four days defending their decision to buy Oakhill in court. A judge ruled that the Mahoning County Commissioners did nothing illegal when purchasing Oakhill.

     You may recall a subsidiary of the Cafaro Corporation was behind the effort to block the Oakhill sale in an effort to keep the Job and Family Services leasing space at the old McGuffey Plaza. Cafaro spokesperson Joe Bell says no subpoena's have been served on Cafaro Corporation employees.
