YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Youngstown Mayor John McNally remains on the job after pleading guilty in a public corruption case last week.

In spite of calls for his resignation, McNally was back at work in city hall Monday with an agenda in the coming week that includes tapping the first keg of St. Patrick's Day green beer, WFMJ-TV in Youngstown reported.

McNally was supposed to go on trial today in Cleveland for his alleged part in a public corruption case involving the relocation of the Mahoning County Job and Family Services Department to a building that became the Oakhill Renaissance Place. The trial became unnecessary when he and co-defendant, former Mahoning County Auditor Mike Sciortino, pleaded guilty to someon of the original charges.

McNally pleaded guilty to two counts of falsification, and one count of attempted unlawful use of a telecommunications device, and one count of attempted unlawful influence of a public official. All four charges are misdemeanors, WFMJ reported.

Although Youngstown Law Director Martin Hume has said there is nothing in state law or the city charter requiring a mayor convicted of misdemeanors to give up the office, Mahoning County Democratic Party Chairman David Betras has called on McNally to resign, WFMJ reported.
