Avon teen candidate eyes ballot measure to ease council age rule
Avon resident Larry Hoekstra, 18, campaigns to amend the city charter so that council candidates need only one year of residency and be 18 or older. He seeks voter turnout, televised meetings, a youth advisory council, and a road impact fee to ease congestion as Avon grows. Hoekstra emphasizes serving all residents and not just youth, noting his age should not define his candidacy.

Commissioners OK health renewal levies for county
The Lorain County commissioners on Thursday unanimously approved placing two health related renewal levies on the November ballot. A 0.2-mill levy for the Lorain County Tuberculosis Clinic and a 1-mill renewal levy for the Lorain County General Health District would raise about 465000 dollars annually for five years and just under 2 million annually respectively.
