Lorain Judge McGough Retiring

After nearly two decades, Judge Lynette McGough is hanging up her robe and plans to pursue some of her interests outside of the courtroom. McGough downplays her role as a pioneer, but when she was first elected in 1989, she was the first female judge in Lorain County. McGough spent 18 years on the Court of Common Pleas and now enters her first week of retirement. When we visited last week, her desk was bare, walls void of the pictures and plaques that document her tenure. Most of it packed up, put away. But Judge McGough was full of memories and stories.
