Lorain County weighs tighter budget and layoffs risk
Lorain County commissioners seek savings to avoid large cuts next year. Proposals include merging the Tuberculosis Clinic with the General Health District and trimming supply spending by about 10 percent. A 10 percent across the board salary cut is under consideration, mirroring $6 million in early 2009 layoffs that affected more than 75 workers. Recorder Judy Nedwick notes extreme trimming, saying, no paper clips are being ordered.
