- Wendy DiAlesandro

Absent from his duties since March 18, Kent Councilman Robin Turner said he hopes to return to council meetings by the end of the month.

Speaking to The Portager from a rehab facility in Cuyahoga County, Turner said he had suffered a “serious illness” that left him with ongoing physical constraints. He said he hopes to be transferred to a Kent or Ravenna facility soon and to eventually return to his Kent home.
