Elyria auditor cites March tax revenue drop
City Auditor Ted Pileski reports March income tax collections fell about 12 percent from 2008, down 176,107 in the general fund and 28,654 in the police levy fund. The three month 2009 decline nears seven percent, widening a 2.3 million general fund deficit and prompting service cuts and layoffs.

Judge allows council hopeful to attend meetings under conditions
Elyria city prosecutors and Sherry Ames, who will run as Sherry Tulk, reach a bond agreement allowing her to attend council meetings and other events while keeping at least 10 feet from Mayor Bill Grace and avoiding direct contact. The case stems from text messages Grace says began in 2008 after a city warning to stop contacting him and four harassment charges filed earlier this year.
