Williams uses veto power to press budget cuts in Lorain County
Lorain County commissioner Tom Williams, the only Republican, withholds his vote to place a November sales tax increase on the ballot. Ted Kale and Lori Kokoski could push it with unanimous support, but Williams insists on further cuts. The county faces a 4.5 to 5 million dollar deficit next year as state aid shrinks. Residents deserve a say as services, like road patrols, may be cut. Williams warns against demonizing government.
