  • Ohio Approves $40M PTSD Fund for First Responders, Passes Landmark Legislation in Transformative Year

    Ohio Approves $40M PTSD Fund for First Responders, Passes Landmark Legislation in Transformative Year
    2025/12/25
    Ohio has approved a landmark $40 million fund to support first responders battling PTSD, marking a major win championed by the International Association of Fire Fighters. In politics, the 136th General Assembly introduced over 900 bills in 2025, with Governor Mike DeWine signing key measures including a $60 billion two-year state budget featuring a flat tax, an overhaul of higher education under Senate Bill 1, and House Bill 15 to boost energy generation. Other laws banned police arrest quotas, cracked down on dangerous dogs, and tweaked cannabis regulations, while a new congressional map emerged after partisan disputes, as reported by the Statehouse News Bureau. Active proposals include raising the minimum wage, creating a local food task force, and limiting AI regulations via the Ohio Right to Compute Act, per LegiScan.

    Economically, Ohio's job market showed signs of weakening, with September unemployment dipping slightly to 4.8% but the state losing 2,000 jobs and labor force participation falling to 62.4%, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and analysts at The Buckeye Institute. Construction added jobs nationally, but local pressures persist amid inflation. Positive notes include $4.2 million in state funding announced by Rep. Dontavius L. Jarrells for Columbus State equipment and Bexley development.

    Communities saw education pushes like Bath Local Schools advancing a $56 million high school bond for May ballots, per WLIO, amid statewide funding woes echoed by Fairfield Schools. Infrastructure advanced with Butler Tech's new aviation and bioscience centers set for early 2026.

    No major recent weather events disrupted the state.

    Looking Ahead, watch for pending bills on minimum wage and elections before the 2026 session end, Bath's bond vote, and economic reports clarifying job trends amid federal delays.

  • Ohio Secures $150M Settlement with Mercedes-Benz Over Diesel Emissions Fraud, Highlights State's Proactive Consumer Protection

    Ohio Secures $150M Settlement with Mercedes-Benz Over Diesel Emissions Fraud, Highlights State's Proactive Consumer Protection
    2025/12/23
    Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced a nearly 150 million dollar multistate settlement with Mercedes-Benz for selling diesel vehicles with illegal emissions-cheating software from 2008 to 2016, affecting over 7,600 vehicles in the state, according to the Ohio Attorney General's office. Governor Mike DeWine signed landmark property tax reforms into law, delivering over 3 billion dollars in relief to homeowners by curbing unvoted tax hikes and closing loopholes, as reported by Ohio REALTORS. The state approved 17 economic development projects expected to create more than 2,300 jobs, including expansions by companies like SencorpWhite in Hamilton adding 230 positions and CareSource in Dayton with 167 new roles, per announcements from Governor DeWine's office and the Ohio Department of Development. In education, districts like Olentangy and Salem advanced facilities plans, with Olentangy eyeing new schools to manage enrollment growth and Salem adding classrooms to its K-8 project on budget for 2027 completion.

    The 136th General Assembly sent only a few dozen of over 900 introduced bills to DeWine, including higher education overhauls amid reduced GOP gridlock, according to Ideastream Public Media. Weather remains mild with no recent significant events, though scattered rain showers are forecast from Christmas Eve through the 26th, bringing a few hundredths to half an inch statewide, as noted by Ohio Ag Weather and the National Weather Service.

    Looking Ahead, watch for property tax changes hitting 2026 bills, new school funding votes like Independence's May ballot issue, and potential cold snaps after mild holiday rains. Bipartisan pushback grows on federal AI policies and data center expansions amid electricity concerns.

  • Ohio Ends 2025 with Economic Wins, Political Shifts, and Winter Challenges

    Ohio Ends 2025 with Economic Wins, Political Shifts, and Winter Challenges
    2025/12/21
    Ohio wraps up 2025 with a blend of economic momentum and political anticipation amid winter challenges. Governor Mike DeWine approved 17 economic development projects expected to create 2,347 jobs and retain 8,592 more, with over $1.1 billion in investments, according to the Ohio Governors Office. Standouts include SencorWhite's 230-job relocation to Hamilton from Massachusetts and CareSource's 167-job expansion in Dayton, both backed by Job Creation Tax Credits. Separately, DeWine announced 12 projects adding over 1,100 jobs in data centers and digital health, as reported by Ohio Tech News, though data center growth faces rising public pushback over electricity costs. Despite these wins, analysts note a weakening job market, with Ohio's labor force participation at 62.4% and increased unemployment claims topping 50,000 last week per the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. An Emerson College poll shows the economy as the top concern for 44% of voters.

    In politics, the 136th General Assembly saw DeWine sign multiple bills into law on December 19, per his office, while House Bill 575 proposes process tweaks to the Current Agricultural Use Valuation program for fairness, awaiting 2026 action according to the OSU Farm Office. The Columbus Dispatch recapped 2025's big political moments, eyeing midterm races ahead.

    Communities focus on growth: Olentangy Schools plan stadium upgrades and new facilities to combat overcrowding projected for 2026-27, while Salem K-8 adds six classrooms to its $55.8 million buildout, staying on budget as stated by Treasurer Michael Douglas. Broadband expansion along US Route 30 seeks applicants through January, investing $20 million in middle-mile infrastructure, Lydia Mihalik of the Ohio Department of Development noted.

    Recent weather brought arctic blasts and lake-effect snow to Northeast Ohio, with gusts to 50 mph, flash freezes, and up to 3 inches in snow belts per WKYC forecasts, following a December 13 storm dumping inches across southern counties as covered by Peoples Defender.

    Looking Ahead: Watch for CAUV changes in the New Year, data center debates, and 2026 midterms shaping Ohios economy and policies.
