Elyria Library Ballot Wording Sparks Confusion
Elyria Public Library officials warn the ballot wording for two library issues on the Elyria City School District ballot could mislead voters. Issue 29 seeks 3.4 million to build a West River Road branch and renovate the main Washington Avenue library. Issue 30 would raise about 570 thousand annually via a 1 mill five-year operating levy, potentially costing a $50,000 home about 24.50 per year.
