Taxpayers weigh merging county health district with no local vote
Elyria Lorain and Avon Lake may tax residents for the Lorain County Health District if their cities join the county agency. The 0.5 mill levy would raise about 15.44 annually per 100 000 house value, for five years before a vote. Mayors Brinda and Zilka stress financial savings but warn about local control and legal options.
