Lorain mayor condemned union call to merge safety and service posts
Lorain Mayor Joseph Zahorec called a police union leader’s suggestion to merge the safety director and service director roles during a financial crunch in poor taste.

He criticized Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3 president Tom Cantu for the interview and stressed the need for a new safety director to be appointed soon.
