Lorain Facing Budget Gaps and Blight Push
Lorain officials project about 2 million in recycling revenue for the year but have received only 723000 through last month. Deputy Auditor Anita Harper notes the shortfall and city leaders consider delaying byproducts sales or seeking higher prices. Ritenauer aims to use unspent funds to bolster the rainy day fund, avoid cuts, and pursue shared services and state aid while targeting blight demolition and industrial development off Baumhart Road. The council lineup shifts with five new members in January and ongoing cooperation between the mayor and council members.

The child tested positive for marijuana metabolite in a test tied to the mother’s tea, while the agency found no threat to the baby and Sanford affirmed ongoing family support.
