Lorain County Forensics Lab to lay off two workers
The Lorain County Board of Commissioners voted to lay off two job positions at the Lorain County Forensics Lab a laboratory technician and a monitoring technician effective Sept. 16. The move follows a contract approval with Ohio Alcohol Monitoring Systems for urine drug testing and reflects the courts shifting testing work to private services while the lab reduces services it cannot profitably sustain.
