Lorain County commissioners who proposed a 0.25 percent sales tax now confront a potential repeal or a new vote after only about 20 percent of voters approved it. They cite jail overcrowding and rising costs but face a difficult choice between asking the public again in March or slashing the budget while two commissioners face re election next year. The tax rejection fuels GOP challenges to incumbents.
Lorain and Elyria show weak GOP presence with only Garry Gibbs for Elyria 3rd Ward. Independents gain votes in mayoral races while Tony Krasienko wins Lorain landslide. Avon Lake voters oust Rob Berner. Karl Zuber defeats him. Sheffield elects John Hunter as mayor amid strong political ties.

The letter also critiques local politics, taxes, and media coverage.
The piece quotes Betty Blair criticizing officials for not taking public input at face value on a sales tax proposal. It argues politicians frequently repaint the case when voters reject measures, signaling ongoing frustration with how tax increase talks are framed and pursued.

Pakistan faces a crisis as President Musharraf's emergency rule targets the judiciary rather than Islamic extremists.

Plan B is urged if elections are not held.
