Lorain eyes RITA for unpaid city taxes to boost coffers
Lorain City Council weighs bringing in the Regional Income Tax Agency to collect overdue taxes. Council member Craig Snodgrass asks RITA and City Treasurer Karen Shawver to present ideas in late April or May as layoffs hit police and fire departments. Shawver argues RITA would cost more than it yields, suggesting Cleveland’s Central Collection Agency as a better 2 percent option.

EPA mulls denying Avalon Estates permit requests
North Ridgeville residents urge the Ohio EPA to deny permits for 285 new homes in Avalon Estates, citing potential damage to eight acres of wetlands and hundreds of feet of streams. EPA officials say existing development harmed about 1,200 feet of stream and a wetlands area, with earlier damage acknowledged by Oster Homes and Ontario Land Co. A public hearing drew about 100 people as regulators weigh three proposed plans, including a EPA-preferred no impact option.
