In a solemn nod to a respected jurist, Governor Mike DeWine has directed that flags be flown at half-staff in Greene County, Ohio. This gesture comes as the state honors the late Judge Robert Hagler, whose tenure on the bench won him acclaim for fairness and a commitment to justice.
As the governor's office specified, the flags will be lowered at sunrise yesterday and remain at half-staff until sunset today. This mark of respect is for the public buildings and grounds in Greene County, where Hagler served with distinction. According to an announcement from the governor's office, buildings outside the county can do the same.
Gov. DeWine's office released a statement highlighting Judge Hagler's legacy. The statement stated that the Honorable Robert Hagler served Greene County with integrity and a profound sense of duty. His passing is a significant loss to the legal community and the state of Ohio.
