Firemen Press City Income Tax Petition Drive
Elyria firemen launch a petition campaign to urge passage of the city income tax after voters rejected it in a special election. Local 274 and Local 474 back petitions, aiming for a third reading by Feb 3, with support urged from Mayor Reichlin and other unions. Zagrans argues the measure is needed for civil service pay, public understanding, and to avoid resignations, while noting petitions are informal and not binding.

Discouraged dieter ponders why Pisa tower leans
A discouraged dieter quips that if he knew what caused the Tower of Pisa to lean, he would take note and perhaps apply the lesson to his own weight loss efforts. The remark uses regional humor to underscore frustration with self-control and the desire for a simple explanation.
