Beavercreek bond issue reappears on May ballot
The Beavercreek City School District is asking voters for the second time to pass a bond issue to help build a new high school — something that school officials say would help address a major increase in student enrollment after several years of steadily increasing numbers.
The 4.9 mill bond issue would cost local homeowners $172 annually for each $100,000 of appraised real estate value.
Clark-Shawnee schools propose tax levy: What to know
Clark-Shawnee Local School District says that they have been spending in the negative, and this levy would allow them to operate with more breathing room.
A majority of this levy will go to retaining the district's current faculty and staff. And if the levy does not pass, the school board has approved the creation of a plan to look at cuts across the district.
Greenon school levy looks to finish projects, build new facilities
Greenon Local Schools says their levy is needed to transform the district and provide quality education to students. The levy will go toward three areas for the district — a new transportation hub, the elementary school and a new space for its wrestling athletes.
If passed, this levy will cost homeowners $97 for every $100,000 of appraised property value.
Huber Heights schools facing $7M in cuts if levy fails
Huber Heights City School District says the district is currently operating in a deficit, prompting an operating levy that could pull them out of the red.
Huber Heights residents will vote on a 6.9-mill operating levy that would generate $7.8 million to help the school district cover its day-to-day expenses. If it passes, the levy would cost residents about $242 a year for every $100,000 of appraised property value.
Mad River Schools propose levy for school upkeep
Mad River Local School District says building maintenance is expensive and taking thousands of dollars from the school's general fund, when those dollars could be going to other resources for staff and students.
This 2.9-mill levy would cost homeowners $100 per $100,000 of appraised property value.
Northmont Schools facing further cuts if levy fails again
Northmont Local School District is facing even more cuts if their levy does not pass. With two failing levies on the ballot in 2023, the district had to cut over 40 positions.
This time, the levy asks for 3.44 mills for ten years in order to fund day-to-day operations, including maintaining teachers, clubs and transportation for the district. Residents would pay $120 for every $100,000 of appraised property value.
Oakwood levy would improve safety of historic school buildings
Oakwood School District says the proposed bond levy would fund upgrades across its facilities, improving safety while preserving the district's historic charm.
Oakwood residents will vote on Issue 12, a 4.74-mill bond levy that would generate $40 million to upgrade school facilities. If it passes, the levy would cost residents about $166 a year for every $100,000 of property value.

A bid for bail by former New Jersey US Sen. Menendez is rejected by appeals court as prison looms

NEW YORK (AP) — A bid for bail by former U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez while he appeals his bribery conviction was rejected Wednesday by a federal appeals court, a week before the veteran New Jersey politician is scheduled to report to prison. Menendez, 71, was convicted last July of selling his clout for bribes. FBI agents who searched his home three years ago found $480,000, some of it stuffed inside boots and jacket pockets, gold bars worth an estimated $150,000 and a luxury convertible in the garage. Prosecutors said that in exchange, Menendez performed corrupt favors for the New Jersey business owners. They said he tried to protect the men and associates from criminal investigations, helped two in business deals with foreign powers and met with Egyptian intelligence officials before helping that country access $300 million in U.S. military aid. Menendez, a Democrat, has insisted that he is innocent and is seeking to overturn his conviction. He is scheduled to surrender to federal prison authorities on Tuesday. A three-judge panel on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied his bail motion in a brief order issued Wednesday. The decision did not include a rationale, but it said one of the three judges would have granted the motion. An email seeking comment was sent to his attorneys. Menendez, who once served as chair of the influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee, resigned his seat a month after his conviction. He had been in the Senate since 2006. Two business owners also were convicted last year along with Menendez. His wife, Nadine Menendez, was convicted in April of teaming up with her husband to accept bribes from the business owners. Her trial was delayed after she was diagnosed with breast cancer and required surgery. Her sentencing has been set for Sept. 11.

What The CPI Inflation Numbers Mean For The Future

The Consumer Price Index numbers for May came out on Wednesday. The seasonally adjusted number was up 0.1% in May, a drop from April's 0.2%. except for March, it was the lowest monthly inflation figure since July 2024. Over the last 12 months, inflation was 2.4% before seasonal adjustment. There is volatility over time, but also a downward trend line, even if it hasn't dropped fast enough for people's tastes. Below is a graph from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, showing year-over-year comparisons. Year-over-year changes in the CPI Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis The news was good, at least in theory and at a high level. At a more detailed look, perhaps not. Other issues — tariffs, rising deficit spending, and spending cuts for important common good activities — combine with inflation to create greater uncertainty in the near future and the potential for a recession. Here Are The CPI Details That Affect You CPI at the headline level sounds good. Details are, on the whole, more discouraging. Here are some product categories where inflation was much higher: All are necessities, if not for everyone, for many millions. Other items helped keep the headline inflation down: The moderating factors don't necessarily remove the burden of the items with greater inflation, depending on how households spend and experience inflation. Near Future Effects On Inflation 'Shelter and energy are going to keep the disinflation trend intact,' wrote Jamie Cox, managing partner for Harris Financial Group, in a note. 'Prices are moving down in two of the largest categories, so investors should expect further declines in inflation in the coming months. 'However, CPI remains above 2% and even though the tariff rates are going to be less than originally feared, after they are implemented, they will further increase the cost of goods,' wrote Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Northlight Asset Management, in a second note. 'Because of this and the tariff pause that's scheduled to be lifted next month, we are still cautious, but many of the risks that were present in early April, appear to be receding at this time.' As Oxford Economics noted, the May CPI data have been 'encouraging, but unlikely the new norm.' For example, the administration announced a temporary trade truce — again — with China following talks in London. This time, tariffs will be 55%. That's a blended number and includes 20% tariffs on fentanyl, a 10% reciprocal tariffs, and then an average 25% for tariffs already in place before this year, according to a MarketWatch report. The congressional spending bill is likely going to send spending and the deficit up, which will also provide inflationary pressure. While the headline numbers sound like a reprieve, it probably won't be ultimately.

Judge Blocks Detention of Mahmoud Khalil Under Foreign-Policy Provision

A federal judge in New Jersey on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from detaining Mahmoud Khalil under a seldom-used provision of immigration law related to foreign-policy interests, putting the former Columbia student a step closer to being able to stay in the U.S. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz doesn't mean Khalil will immediately be released from an immigration detention facility in rural Louisiana.
