Growth of Lorain County rural areas dominates 1974 news
Rural Lorain County in 1974 saw utilities extending into villages and townships, new water purchases, possible jetports and landfills, and the first forced school closing over funding. The Rural Lorain County Water Authority began securing Avon Lake water for many communities while residents opposed jetport sites and planned landfills amid tax levies and municipal woes. Tragedy and crime also marked the year with multiple murders, high profile court actions, and a stolen harness horse recovered.

Democrats deny bias in non-partisan panel vote
Democrats insist the Elva Non Partisan Committee for Election Reform was non partisan while noting $965 in support from Democrats. Voters rejected the additional two year term in November. Victor Stewart called Republican claims a cheap shot and said Democrats funded the committee despite no filing requirements. The party argues the issue saves taxpayers money and benefits no single group.
