Veterans sue over funding cut by Lorain County commissioners
Lorain County Veterans Service Commission filed suit against the county commissioners over a budget cut that removed a 1.3 million rent line item, reducing 2015 funding to about 1.9 million. The agency argues state law requires funding levels from millage funds and criticizes office-location disputes hindering services. The sides pursue a new facility while planning meetings to resolve the dispute.
