Hospital rate hikes seen to cover funding losses
Hospital Haack warned a slight rate increase is likely while Kevin Martin of EMH said rises are needed to offset nearly 750,000 dollars in state and federal funding cuts. Officials plan to end General Assistance Medical Fund reimbursements on July 1, 1992 and eliminate the Hospital Care Assurance Program in 1992. Inflation drives up hospital equipment 9.7 percent and drug costs about 10 percent, with supplies up 8 percent, impacting Allen Memorial and Lorain Community.

Deputies costs spark debate over road patrol funding
Deputies said five patrols at 32 000 each would cost 150 000 to keep one on the road full time. Township budgets vary from 120 000 to 500 000 as trustees weigh paying for extra patrols, possible inter-municipal contracts, and a planned court ruling on sheriff layoffs. Some urge new taxes or sales tax shifts to cover protections.
