The CAC sold about $20,000 of items in five days, with books, catalogs, posters and CAC branded T shirts selling rapidly as supporters rally for artistic freedom. The backlash followed indictments of CAC leaders amid protests by conservative groups.

Oberlin Woman Legal Move to Save Roundhouse Historic Site
Cynthia Stewart of 82 East College Street filed suit in Lorain County Common Pleas Court to stop demolition of the century old Oberlin gasholder house known as the Roundhouse. The case names City Manager Deborah Kimble and developer Arthur Clark and seeks a temporary restraining order to pause Station Square construction at South Main and Edison streets. Station Square would replace the building with a center on two parcels from Bill Cobb, who agreed to sell adjacent land for 16000 dollars, with expected local job creation and tax revenues in the first year.

Transit board seeks sales tax to fund expanded Lorain County system
Lorain County Transit board votes to ask commissioners to place a 0.25 percent sales tax on the November ballot. The $3.2 million in new revenue would fund 34 more buses, six new routes, expanded dial-a-ride, a van pool, shelters, and a 24 hour information line to improve countywide service. The plan aims to offset anticipated federal funding cuts.
