Board seeks May revote on mental health levy split plan
Lorain County Board of Mental Health and Retardation moved to place a 0.5 mill mental health levy on the May ballot by itself and keep a separate 1 mill levy for mental retardation for a November vote. Confusion in wording led to defeats in May and November, with officials noting tax aversion and vague program ideas as factors. Also reported, UPI says Customs agents seized 37,212 pounds of illicit drugs in July through September, more than double last year’s three-month total.
