  Pending bills in the state house and senate that would convert mayor's courts into community courts is a step toward regionalism, said Lisa Coates, a presiding judge at Cuyahoga Falls Municipal Court, during public participation at the meeting. She said opening a mayor's court would be a "step back" for the city and its efforts to promote regionalism.
  
  Coates said she has read that the Cuyahoga Falls Mayor's Court will not have fines as high as the municipal court.
  ...
  "If you eliminate the easier cases, you take away our income that helps support us," said Coates.

  We recommend the re-election of Lisa Coates
  ...
  Now Lisa Coates, one of the judges driving the move, is seeking re-election to a second, six-year term. Part of evaluating Coates involves assessing the change in location. More important is her performance in the courtroom. In that way, especially, she has earned another term. She is fair, timely and has a sound temperament, understanding the mission of the court, part legal institution, part social agency.
  
  We recommend the re-election of Lisa Coates on Nov. 3. All in all, the move to Stow was justified. The municipal court needed new facilities. (Other municipal courts in the state, including Akron, require such an upgrade.) If the Falls had not jumped to set up an outmoded mayor's court, the transition in Stow would have been relatively smooth. As it is, Coates and her colleague on the bench, Kim Hoover, mostly have done a solid job handling the change.
  ...
  Coates is thinking about the future, planning for a mental health court, filling an important need yet doing so in a way tailored to the suburban communities in the Stow court district, covering much of northern Summit County. The approach builds on her work as a judge, tough when required yet aware that one size hardly fits all.
  ...
  Coates has plenty of independence. She also is the better choice in this race.
