Elyria considers 775000 to secure EPA grant for sewer upgrade
Elyria may need to spend about 775000 to obtain federal funds for upgrading the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cleveland. City officials and EPA discussed delaying parts of the project to ease financing and possibly lower rate increases. A 1999 deadline was floated for completing remaining upgrades, potentially reducing borrowing and rate impact.

EPA and politicians clash over Ohio emissions testing centers
In Columbus a debate centers on centralized state vehicle exhaust checks versus local testing. EPA scientist Scott Compton says more state centers would open if a bill passes, promising quick tests with drivers staying in their cars. Senator Alan Zaleski and Rep. Marie Tansey oppose emissions testing and favor a decentralized system. The bill’s fate awaits full Senate and House approval amid federal funding threats for areas failing air standards.

S Amherst school board seeks county budget commission approval to lower bond millage from 1.5 to 1 mill.

The vote is due October 7 with auditors backing the move as sound fiscal management.
