The Lucas County Republican Party, already struggling with campaign-finance investigations and fund-raising woes in the wake of scandals surrounding former Chairman Tom Noe, revealed yesterday that three of its leaders have resigned or plan to do so soon.

Interim Chairman Doug Haynam told party executive committee members this week that he will leave his post “as soon as possible.” Vice Chairman Steve Hornyak resigned Nov. 9, and Treasurer Patrick Kriner will step down Dec. 1.

Mr. Haynam and Mr. Kriner said yesterday their resignations are independently timed but similarly rooted in fatigue from steering the party through troubled times.

Mr. Hornyak said he wanted to clear room for permanent leadership and criticized Mr. Haynam for focusing less on GOP candidates and more on “doing damage control for the Noe situation.”..

1. If my last name were Hornyak...

I'd change it.
