Lorain officials clashed as the council barely balanced the year budget with 4 million cut from last year 1.3 million more in revenues. Mayor Joseph Koziura faulted a self insurance fund surplus for hospital costs while Law Director Michael Scherach called a land transfer illegal. The Finance and Claims Committee trimmed hospital funding by 1.3 million rather than using the surplus. Tensions grew as Koziura blamed departments for lack of cooperation and auditors reported late budget access.
