YOUNGSTOWN - The actions of Mahoning County Clerk of Courts Michael Ciccone was once again brought up in a county commissioners meeting, Thursday.

An employee from the auditors office brought screenshots of text messages allegedly sent by Ciccone speaking poorly of him and another an unnamed employee in the auditors.

“In these messages he called her a very derogatory word,” the employee said. “It's very inappropriate and embarrassing and it is very hurtful to her.”

The commissioners did not take an official action but made it clear they didn't like what Ciccone allegedly said or how he’s running the clerk's office. 

“I’m nobody here to be judge or jury but I think he needs to come clean to the public and tell the community exactly what is going on,” Anthony Traficanti, a Mahoning County Commissioner, said. 

“As an elected official he has disgraced that office,” Carol Rimedio-Righetti, a Mahoning County Commissioner, said. “...You can't accuse him of guilt until you see exactly what he's done but to show it on Facebook is deplorable."

Commissioner Rimedio-Righetti and Geno DeFabio want to see Ciccone resign. 

“You can't act like that publicly or privately and represent people and expect people to respect you,” DiFabio said.

DeFabio said he's received complaints about the office for months and wants someone else to come in to clean up its problems.

“The trust that's in that office has to be above reproach, has to be,” DiFabio said.

Commissioner Traficanti is worried about how the allegations are affecting the rest of the employees in the office.

“That is a very important office they do a lot of important things and if that morale is decimated all of these negative things that have gone on I’m sure that going to have a big problem on the functionality of that office,” Traficanti said. 

Ciccone has previously said that he has no plans to resign. Ciccone could not be reached for comment after he did not show up to the office as of Thursday afternoon according to an employee. When asked if Ciccone had been in at all this week an employee said they were instructed to say “no comment.”
