Moments after the Mahoning County Commissioners finished their meeting, Commissioner John McNally was bombarded with questions concerning the Ohio Ethics Commission's investigation into possible ethics violations by public officials.

   And he confirmed, that he too, had received a subpoena by the county grand jury asking for documents concerning Oak Hill.

    McNally wasn't the only one who got a subpoena. J.J. and Anthony Cafaro Sr. received subpoena's Thursday morning at their Belmont Avenue headquarters.

   Joe Bell spokesman for the Cafaro's says he does not know exactly what is contained in the subpoena because the Cafaro's attorneys have not had a chance to review them yet.

   Commissioner Anthony Traficanti says he did not receive a subpoena but is not surprised by the investigation.

      David Freel, Ohio Ethics Commission director would not discuss the details of the investigation, which concerns possible criminal violations of the state's ethics law pertaining to conflict of interest.

      In October, Mahoning County leaders spent four days defending their decision to buy Oakhill in court. A judge ruled that the Mahoning County Commissioners did nothing illegal when purchasing Oakhill. A subsidiary of the Cafaro Corporation was behind the effort to block the Oakhill sale in an effort to keep the Job and Family Services leasing space at the old McGuffey Plaza.
