The Erie County dispute centers on a $10,000 Corry Memorial Hospital allocation in the current budget that was not paid. Hospital administrator Samuel Antrim remained unaware until last week that the year end check would not arrive, and commissioners warn next year’s funds may also be withheld if finances tighten. Weir backs a two mill tax cut amid $1.4 million federal revenue sharing, while Hill and Rzymek resist.
