MAHONING COUNTY PROBATE JUDGE ROBERT RUSU, pictured, spoke of his extensive experience in probate law, and also pledged to make responsible appointments to some 39 positions if he gains election to the seat in the November general elections. Rusu will be opposed by Atty. Susan Maruca, who failed to gain the endorsement of the Mahoning County Bar Association for the probate judgeship. Rusu has been endorsed by the bar association. Rusu is pictured as he spoke to members of the Boardman Civic Association on Monday night in Boardman Park.
