Foltin Won't Cut City Staff to Meet Budget Goals
Lorain Mayor Craig Foltin announced he would not lay off his staff or the safety-service director's staff to meet budget targets set by Council. Councilman Dan Given urged realism and warned against bypassing council oversight. The midyear budget hearing showed some departments near overspending, but Foltin projected a $100,000 reduction to a $2.6 million year end deficit.

Amherst to table daylight curfew plan for a month
Amherst residents and homeschooling families persuaded the City Council to postpone a proposed daylight curfew ordinance. Police would have required students 6 to 18 outside school to show written permission, with patrols to verify ages and permission amid recent burglaries. A homeschool mother warned the proposal would erode trust and presume guilt.

Elyria officials report bids for the municipal court project total about 10.4 million, with construction bids from Mosser Construction at 7 million and Ozanne Construction at 7.6 million. Mayor Bill Grace cites three options and warns rebid or scaling down may not cut costs enough while funding sources remain uncertain. Council delays decision to June 26 for further review.
