Elyria Fire Contract Rejected in 10-1 Vote
In a special meeting, Elyria Council rejected a forged fire union deal 10-1 with only Councilman Mike Lotko voting yes. The vote leaves the department at risk of cuts as union president Dean Marks warned of possible court action to keep firefighters on the job. Mayor Grace said he may reopen talks to seek a modified agreement.
