Sales tax hike remains on table in Elyria Lorain County
Commissioner Tom Williams remains skeptical voters will approve a sales tax increase for the November ballot without proven spending cuts. Ted Kale argues the county must raise revenues to fund services, while Lori Kokoski notes substantial cuts, including a $420,000 reduction. A plan to merge 911 dispatch with the sheriff’s office could save about $700,000 annually, offsetting about $300,000 to rehire three deputies.

Lorain County to share Lake Erie wind turbine revenue
Lorain County commissioners approved a four county plan to split revenues from submerged land leases for Lake Erie wind projects. Each of Ashtabula, Lake, and Lorain counties will receive 20 percent of the remaining funds after state shares. Lorain could gain about 1100 per turbine annually as the group aims for 250 turbines by 2020 off Avon Point.
