Elyria court site debate over renovation and courthouse use
The judge opposes renovating the Broad Street building and prefers not to salvage the current courthouse. Talks in 2000 about moving municipal court to the courthouse faltered over parking. Proposals included lease terms and park space trades, but space constraints and forensics plans keep the county in the current layout. The project shifts to a smaller forensics lab and probation spaces, with a Visiting judges’ courtroom retained. The land was donated by Ely Trust and the structure must keep a courtroom. The Lorain County Historical Society may use part of the courthouse for displays as plans evolve.

Bush faces scrutiny over Sept 11 response and Rice testimony
Richard Clarke argues the Bush team slowed action against al Qaida before the attacks and erred by focusing on Iraq. Polls show Bush’s war on terror approval slipping to the high 50s, though he still leads Kerry in head to head matchups. The White House pressed counterarguments while deferring public Rice testimony, prompting calls from some Republicans to allow broader access. Rice will testify with limits set by Gonzales, and commissioners weigh whether further public sessions are warranted.
