Memorial Day Allowances Requests Reported by County Commission
County commissioners disclosed three requests for Memorial Day allowances from local veteran groups. Each seeks the $30 maximum, including The Filmer Johnson Post of the American Legion Amherst, the Mullen Murray Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Lorain, and the Disabled American Veterans. Commissioner DeChant proposed notifying all veteran organizations to submit requests, as the board set aside only 700 for Memorial Day expenses this year after distributing about 1100 last year. The Finnish language remark appears unrelated to the local matter.
