Lorain mayor pressured owners over anti tax signups
Lorain Mayor Anthony Krasienko says he called business owners to explain consequences if the tax credit reduction is repealed. Dennis Flores calls the moves strong arm tactics and wants residents to vote on the measure, aiming to place the issue on the November ballot to overturn a December city council tax credit cut affecting workers outside Lorain. Former Law Director Michael Scherach supports a vote and notes petitioners were asked to relocate to collect signatures.
