Home rule[edit]

I was confused by this section:

The Ohio Constitution allows counties to set up a charter government as many cities and villages do,[12] but only Summit County and Cuyahoga County have done so,[13] the latter having been approved by voters in November 2009.[14] Counties do not possess home rule powers and can do only what has been expressly authorized by the Ohio General Assembly.

Here in Michigan, the only reason to incorporated as a charter county is for home rule. So what status does charter status confer in Ohio if not for home rule? Is this written accidentally and the part about counties not possessing home rule should apply to the sentences speaking of non-charter countues? --Criticalthinker (talk) 03:09, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in the section dealing with municipalities, it says that (generally) the only difference between a city and village is the population threshold of 5,000. But deeper into the section, it mentions the requirements for incorporation of a city that include that the population has to be at least 25,000. I know it's implied, but maybe it should be made clear by adding the year of the law/constitutional amendment that this is for all NEW incorporations? I imagine the law must mention "After such-and-such a date, all incorporations must" etc. --Criticalthinker (talk) 00:16, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
