Reagan bold stroke will it sell
President Reagan unveils New Federalism to shift 40 social programs from Washington to state and local governments. He vows no tax raise this year while promising near ten year transition and a $47 billion frame, with mixed Republican reaction and mayors fearing funding gaps. Pushed as a core effort to shrink federal government, the plan targets Medicaid food stamps and AFDC, while education and transportation would also move to states.

Fatal crash tied to Route 57 median closure decision
A 28 year old Elyria man Norman Price died when his car struck a UPS tractor trailer at Route 57 and Warden Avenue. The crash occurred 15 minutes after the city utilities committee approved closing the median pending state approval. Police say the intersection is among the citys most dangerous with 36 accidents in three years, mostly left turns from the median into northbound traffic. A safety plan proposes heavy barrels and guard rails to block the median with a permanent barrier planned for summer.
