Grove City’s future is at a crossroads as residents debate whether to give themselves the power to veto massive developments—like data centers—that consume huge amounts of water, power, or land. A proposed charter amendment, backed by Protect Grove City, would require public votes on any project hitting those thresholds. But critics warn it could block essential infrastructure and hurt economic growth. The city council is seeking compromise, delaying votes while exploring two paths: putting the amendment directly to voters or negotiating a revised version with the group. Watch for the big September 3rd council meeting—it could shape how Grove City grows for years to come.

A woman in Fairfield County, Ohio, narrowly escaped disaster when floodwaters swept her car away—leaving her stranded on top. Rescue teams pulled her to safety just in time, as flash floods fueled by relentless rain turn roads into rivers and leave communities shaken. With Mount Zion Road still closed and Lancaster drenched with nearly six inches this month, it’s a chilling reminder: nature’s fury demands respect—and quick action.

Columbus Police Involved in Nighttime Shooting | Columbus News

An EF1 tornado tore through south Columbus last Tuesday, leaving destruction in its wake—and a community rallying to rebuild. Despite Monday’s rain, hundreds of volunteers showed up for the “Keep Columbus Beautiful” cleanup, clearing debris from sidewalks and streets to restore access. While progress has been made, officials stress there’s still much work ahead. For residents like Bill Warner, whose property was damaged beyond repair, the storm halted his plans to sell—he’s now waiting on insurance and city aid. Meanwhile, families displaced by the storm are finding refuge at the Scioto Southland Community Center, which is offering 24/7 support; 19 people stayed overnight Sunday alone. As cleanup continues, the city’s coordinated response and community resilience shine as hope for recovery grows.

Columbus roared to life with alt-rock energy as Local H and Toadies electrified Newport Music Hall, proving their legacy still rocks. Local H celebrated 30 years of As Good as Dead by tearing through the album’s classics, from “Manifest Density Pt. 1” to “Bound for the Floor.” Toadies stunned fans with a fresh start, opening with new track “Ash’s Theme” from their Steve Albini-produced album Charmer, then building to a deafening singalong on “Possum Kingdom.” Even with thunderstorms, early arrivals cheered Olive Vox’s fiery opener, and Toadies closed with a four-song encore that left everyone buzzing. This was more than a night of nostalgia—it was proof these bands are still kings of the stage.

Federal investigators are hunting down Raymond Jones, a 38-year-old Florida man accused of orchestrating a sprawling human trafficking ring across multiple states—including Columbus—where he allegedly trafficked at least six victims through force, fraud, and coercion. The case erupted after a tip from an officer who spotted red flags near a central Ohio shopping center hotel. Authorities say Jones, known to use aliases—including those of his victims—has evaded capture by moving across state lines, but U.S. Marshals are closing in with nationwide efforts. Victims reportedly suffered violence and financial exploitation. Officials urge the public to come forward with any leads as they race to bring him to justice.

Ohio voters head to the polls this November to decide on a constitutional amendment that would make photo ID for voting permanent — a rule already in place under state law. Backed by GOP leaders and both gubernatorial candidates, supporters say it boosts election security and public trust. The state is spending over $300K on newspaper ads across all counties to inform voters, as required by law, with the language and arguments published weekly for three weeks before Election Day. But some Democrats, like State Senator Catherine Ingram, question whether declining newspaper readership will allow voters to actually see the information — calling it potentially the only way many will learn about Issue Three. Officials insist the ads are strictly informational, aiming to meet the constitutional deadline and ensure voters have access to the facts.

Ohio’s Democratic AG candidate John Kulewicz is demanding a probe into JobsOhio, citing glaring conflicts of interest involving lobbyist and board chair Josh Rubin, who simultaneously lobbied Governor DeWine for Intel’s massive state incentives while leading the agency that funneled $2 billion to businesses. Despite the governor’s claim of no conflict, Kulewicz argues Rubin’s dual role violates public trust and calls for JobsOhio to be held to the same ethics and transparency standards as other state agencies.
