Lorain County reform plan defended as competitive measure
Backers of Lorain County government reform say the seven member council aims for competitive districts, not guaranteed Republican control. Democrats claim three districts will be Democratic strongholds, three GOP leaning, and one leaning Republican, with designer Mark Salling stating four districts favor Democrats. The dispute centers on how districts were drawn under a contract with the Center for Community Solutions.

Grafton mayoral video held after arrest report
Evan Gooden reports that the cruiser video from Saturday's drunken driving arrest of Mayor Megan Flanigan will not be released. Lorain County Sheriff Lt. Barker said he was told by Toni Morgan not to disclose the footage to The Chronicle Telegram. Morgan, named special prosecutor after Grafton's Matt Mishak recused, cites Steckman v. Jackson to justify withholding data, noting the public records ruling limits access post discovery.
