Lorain seeks 1 percent tax petition for ballot
Councilman Edmond Skimin urges a 1 percent income tax petition to appear on the November ballot amid questions from the Lorain County Board of Elections about required language. The petition lacks a statement on penalties for signatures and may be deemed invalid. Skimin cites public demand and says 2,500 signatures are needed. Mayor Zahorec expects the measure as a barometer of interest.
