Critics questioned the stunt while proponents blamed policy and agency failures for drug trafficking.

Spitzer's Lorain project still on go despite protests
Port Authority Executive Director John Sulpizio said Lorain lakefront development will proceed even if the proposed hotel is blocked. He noted the marina’s first phase, a 336-boat facility, drives the master plan and bids would be sought. Alan Spitzer of Spitzer-Great Lakes said his group’s plans won’t hinge on the lakefront hotel and a feasibility study for the Amship site may be delayed to September.

Elyria Budget Favors 185 Million Dollar Plan Amid Revenue Shortfall
Elyria officials outline a 185 million dollar proposed 1987 budget with about 15.2 million in general revenues and a 3.1 million shortfall. Finance Director Jack Giovannazzo says the plan balances when next spring's appropriations pass and cites rising personnel and supply costs. The budget relies on impending revenue sharing losses as Reagan targets ending the program, and four percent wage increases for non union service workers are approved by the Finance Committee pending council final action.
