Missed Deadline Tightens Amherst Levy Election Odds
Amherst village officials face a tougher levy vote after missing a one day filing deadline. The two mill two year current expenses levy will require 60 percent approval instead of 55. The request to place the measure on the November 5 ballot arrived by mail 83 days before voting at the Lorain County Board of Elections, missing a nine day window for the lower threshold. Mayor Jack Koontz and council members expressed surprise as officials review the mistake and its impact on the public ballot.
