📰 Lake County in Debate Over Vital Funding Formula for Local Governments

In Lake County, there is ongoing discussion about the Local Government Fund, which is a pool of money provided by the state and allocated to every community within the county. There are potential impacts on city services and community resources. Stakeholders are working together to develop a new, equitable formula that reflects the current needs and contributions of each community.

Wickliffe Mayor Joe Sakacs has voiced concerns about the potential financial losses for cities like Willowick, Eastlake, and Wickliffe under the new proposed formula.

The committee aims to address disparities in funding and respond to the growth and changing needs of townships since the original formula was established in 1982.
