Lorain County bids plea to save revenue sharing
Lorain County Commissioners plan to send a letter to U S Representative Don Pease outlining potential losses from ending revenue sharing. George Koury Jr. lists projected county impacts with Cleveland facing up to 14 million dollars and Lorain County about 1 million, affecting the sheriff and major projects like the 1st Street bridge repairs. The 1985 revenue sharing totals exclude Camden and Penfield townships and the full county loss could reach tens of millions over several years.
