Elyria Councilman proposes 0.5 income tax and 3.5 mill levy
Councilman Theodore J. Lakacy announced a plan to place a 0.5 percent city income tax and a 3.5 mill operating levy on the May primary ballot as an alternative to the defeated 1 percent income tax. He argues the two measures could pass and fund city salaries and safety forces, with estimated combined revenue around 1.4 million dollars annually. The proposal, likely sent to the finance committee Monday night, aims to offset existing levies and avoid further defeats.
