Ritenaver Opposes Lorain County Sales Tax Increase
Lorain County Commissioner Fred M. Ritenauer rejects a sales tax boost, saying $4 million is far beyond the needed $700,000 to $800,000. He cites a seven year stance and loops back to a Florida vacation misalignment as the dispute unfolds. Reichlin and Nabakowski push for a piggyback plan to guard essential services amid 17 percent cuts, with a $4 million annual yield projected. The trio would need all three votes for a tax without a public vote.
