Wrong way is right for collecting auto tag tax
Columbia Township officials pursued a $5 license plate tax but cannot collect in 1989 after the Lorain County Board of Elections invalidated petitions and a missing BMV notice. Elyria Township, which did not notify the BMV, will collect the tax. Township clerk Robert Duktig laments the turn of events. The law allows a $5 tax for cities and counties to fund road and bridge repairs. Oakley notes a new resolution may be needed to authorize collection next year.
