The first 100 days of Franklin County prosecutor's time in office
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Wednesday marks 100 days in office for Franklin County Prosecutor Shayla Favor, who said her brief time in office has been transformative for prosecution and community safety. Favor said in these first 100 days, she's been committed to carrying out campaign promises for transparency and accountability, and that includes a restructuring of the criminal division, which now includes units addressing guns, drugs, and arson. Columbus mayor speaks with NBC4 ahead of state of the city address 'You know, I talked a lot about the role that the prosecutor can play in addressing crime in our community in a different way,' Favor said. 'While we are the engine that moves cases forward, I believe that our job extends beyond the courtroom, that we have a responsibility to be an engaged stakeholder. Our office has already been doing that, whether we've been attending various events around the community. We're also hosting our first reentry program. This is reentry month, so we'll be hosting a program alongside another engaged organization in our community.' Favor said the prosecutor's office also has a robust civil division and advises 35 county agencies, many of them dealing with federal budget cuts. She said her office is helping them navigate the significant loss of funding. For more of Favor and her first 100 days in office, tune in to The Spectrum this Sunday at 10 a.m. only on NBC 4.
