Lorain Mayor proposes furloughs and tax hike to avert layoffs
Lorain Mayor Chase Ritenauer outlined a hybrid budget plan to avoid layoffs after a $3.6 million deficit from steel mill downturns. Proposals include two weeks of unpaid furloughs for city workers and trimming tax credits, with income tax changes phased to 50 percent this year, 75 percent next year, returning to 100 percent by 2018. He stressed shared sacrifice and warned that failure to move the plan could force widespread layoffs, especially in safety forces.
