Increase in county relief food allowance urged by Elyria Labor Union
A committee of the Elyria Central Labor Union pressed County Commissioners John E. Davidson and Edward DeChant to grant a 20 percent raise in the food allowance for relief clients, arguing funds are available and prisoners should not be favored over relief families. The panel noted a four-person relief family would rise from 14.10 to 16.92 monthly, a small per meal increase. The commissioners indicated they are not ready to approve now but open to a possible future raise, potentially larger than 20 percent if circumstances permit. Kemp criticized the commissioners’ response and pledged to push further, stressing the fairness issue between prisoners and relief recipients.
