Sheffield Lake weighs trying special election for tax levy
Sheffield Lake officials consider a January special election to pass a 0.5 percent income tax increase. Mayor Dennis Bring aims to gauge support and the roughly $8,000 election cost. About 100 residents attended the council meeting where the defeated levy had sought to raise city income tax to 2 percent for $500,000 yearly. The city has faced $2.5 million in state aid losses since 2009, with hiring freezes and 15 positions eliminated.
