Inmates, taxes, and a path to city status for Grafton
Lescher notes inmates lack tax or voting rights and receive limited services from the village. Ohio Patrol provides police protection while prisons contract LifeCare Ambulance for EMS. Grafton, Lorain, and Lorain Correctional facilities house 3,667 inmates, with 1,707 to be transferred soon, while about 3,300 residents live outside. If Grafton became a city, changes would include a safety director, civil service rules for city staff, a health board, and a full-time fire department replacing current volunteers.
