Here are the top three stories today in Lakewood:

1. According to inspectors, prices at the register and on the shelf often don’t match at Dollar General and Family Dollar stores in Cuyahoga County. Since 2021, the stores mentioned above in Cuyahoga County have failed inspections more than 50 times. The inspection reports show that most items with price discrepancies were anywhere from five cents to a dollar more expensive at the register than the price listed on the shelf.
