Ritenauer Faces Tough Second Term in Lorain
Lorain Mayor Chase Ritenauer won re election with about 65 percent as the city confronts a $1 million drop in tax revenue from steel layoffs. U S Steel cut its outlook and laid off 614 workers while Republic Steel shed about 325 jobs. The city, with a $33 million budget and 450 workers, must ride out volatile metal demand and hopes for a rebound in oil and gas.
