Airport bookkeeping
VIENNA -- Mahoning County Auditor George Tablack has approved a bookkeeping change for Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport that could help airport creditors get paid more quickly.
The Western Reserve Port Authority board, which runs the airport, was told this morning the auditor will now allow the airport's annual budget to include promised subsidies from Mahoning and Trumbull counties.
Previously, the funds could not be budgeted until actually received by the port authority. They still can't be spent until actually received, said interim airport director Steve Bowser.
Some vendors have been waiting since December for payment of their bills, he said.
