The Board of Honor put on hold an ordinance that would remove a Toledo street sign as it investigates potential ties to a decades old murder case.
The board faced something it has never had to do — consider removing someone’s name from a street sign, this one near Fifth Third Field.
The sign in question is “Monsignor Jerome Schmit Way.”
The board delayed the vote on for 30 days as it investigates Schmit’s potential connection to the investigation into the 1980 murder of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl.
One of Pahl’s family members claims Schmit obstructed the murder investigation. Legal counsel for the diocese attended the meeting on Thursday and read a statement claiming there’s no evidence to back up the claims.
The board will reconvene to discuss further.
