Mental health levy defeat threatens Lorain County programs
Lorain County faces an immediate phase-out of mental health and retardation programs after the 1 mill levy failed by 17 990 to 15 449 votes. Board president Sanford Slutzker warned funds will not cover more than a month, and county commissioners have offered no emergency money. The levy would have split funds between the mental health and retardation boards, funding core services like community mental health and the Nord Center, with state matching contingent on local dollars.
