Plan Fee Drain Bordered by GOP Bloc in Lorain City Council
A three member Republican minority on Lorain city council blocked Democratic plans to keep Lorain in the Lorain County Regional Plan Commission. They defeated a transfer of 5200 from contingency to pay a 1959 LCRPC fee of 5.20, about 4620 over the 1955 fee. The "emergency" clause required eight votes. two Democrats were absent. The three Republicans voted against the ordinance. one Republican voted for passage with four Democrats. A Kish motion to strike the emergency clause failed with Republicans opposed. The plan’s fate remains unsettled, with LCRPC director McGinnis expressing disappointment and potential 1960 city support. The transfer ordinance, introduced May 15, received last night its final reading for three readings.
