Local politicians react to Kettering mayor Lehner leaving elected office
Aug. 5—After nearly three decades in elected office at the municipal and state level, Kettering Mayor Peggy Lehner will not seek another term. Her husband, Dr. James Lehner, is retired, so Lehner said she is going to enjoy retirement with him. "I have thoroughly enjoyed serving in the city, both as mayor and previously as council member and certainly as state legislator. I've enjoyed every minute of it," said Lehner, 75, who said it's time to give younger people a chance to step up. Although she will not hold political office, Lehner said there are still a lot of issues and needs in the greater community, particularly those affecting children and the poor. "I don't think any of us can afford to walk away from some of these public issues, and I don't intend to. I just won't do it as mayor, but I will serve as called and where I think I can make a difference," Lehner said. Elected mayor in November 2021, Lehner returned to the Kettering City Council where she was an at-large councilwoman from 1998-2008. She succeeded her longtime friend Don Patterson, the city's longest-serving mayor who spent 16 years in the role. They were both first elected to council seats in 1997 and served together for 10 years. "Peggy was impactful on everything she did," said Patterson, who added that he was honored to have served with her. During their shared time, the city of Kettering experienced a growth in population with new and expanded businesses to provide jobs for residents and the revenue needed to benefit the community. "We had a shared vision of what needed to be done," Patterson said. Returning to familiar surroundings as mayor, the issues facing the city were not. She provided leadership as the city navigated COVID-related health issues and the impact of the work-from-home trend. In the Ohio Statehouse, Lehner served for 12 years in Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate, where she led the education committee. As a state senator, the Republican in 2015 unveiled a bipartisan bill to overhaul Ohio's charter school system to bring more accountability and background checks. She also co-sponsored a bill requiring schools to notify parents within two hours if a child doesn't show up for school. "Peggy is the definition of a true public servant. She leads with heart, cares deeply about others, and has dedicated her career to improving and saving the lives of children through her work in education and health care," said U.S. Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio. "Tina and I wish her and Jim all the best in a well-earned retirement." Lehner said her first introduction to public issues was on the Ohio Ethics Commission, where she served from 1991-97. Before that, the mother of five children and grandmother of 14, including a grandson who died in October 2021 in a rowing accident, was president of Ohio Right to Life from 1984-88 and active at St. Albert the Great Catholic Church, where she served on the parish council from 1984-87. She credits Husted among others for encouraging her to run for Kettering City Council. She followed Husted to the Ohio Statehouse, where she was elected first to the House seat he vacated, then to his former Senate seat. After her election to the Ohio House, Lehner was in a unique situation when she was appointed to the Ohio Senate to fill out the last month of Jeff Jacobson's "lame duck" session before she assumed her House seat. Husted was House speaker so he was not able to fill his new seat early. She quit following his political path because he went up too high, she joked, serving as Ohio's secretary of state and lieutenant governor before his appointment to the U.S. Senate to fill Vice President JD Vance's seat. As she is winding down her public role, Lehner said the political climate is worrisome and that she is concerned it will deter people from stepping forward. "It's my sincerest hope that good people will continue to run for these public offices," she said. "We shape our own lives and we shape our own communities. And if we fail to do that, then I'm just fearful of the quality of communities we will have. So I really really encourage people to get involved and be part of finding solutions instead of creating problems." Three seek mayor's post Kyle Boze, a Fairmont High School teacher, and councilmen Bob Scott and Bryan Suddith have pulled petitions to run in the mayor's race, according to the Montgomery County Board of Elections website. Only Boze's petitions have been filed and certified, records show. The filing deadline is Aug. 21 for the Nov. 4 general election. Solve the daily Crossword

Can e.l.f. Keep Margins Pretty Despite Tariffs?
E.l.f. Beauty (NYSE:ELF) reports fiscal Q1 2026 earnings after the bell on August 6. Analysts expect EPS of $0.84 on $352 million in revenue, which would mark high single-digit top-line growth as the company laps a 50% gain from Q1 last year. Despite being down 9% YTD, shares have rebounded more than 130% since April, reflecting optimism around the company's ability to mitigate the tariffs headwinds. Roughly 75% of e.l.f.'s products are sourced from China, and new U.S. tariffs implemented in mid-2025 are putting pressure on input its Q4 2025 call, management said it would raise prices by $1 across select items to offset the impact. Q1 results will offer the first glimpse at how that move is affecting volumes and whether consumers are absorbing the increase. Commentary on further mitigation, such as nearshoring, promotional shifts, or cost discipline, will be closely watched. Beyond tariffs, focus remains on viral growth and global execution. TikTok-driven awareness, new launches, and traction in markets like India and the UK will need to prove they can sustain both unit growth and profitability. With valuation still elevated, margin clarity and pricing elasticity will shape how investors digest Q1 results. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says pharma tariffs could go to 250%, threatens EU if it fails on investment pledge
President Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports "within the next week or so," as he prepares to add more sectoral duties to his mix of tariffs. "We'll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, but in one year — one and a half years, maximum — it's going to go to 150%. And then it's going to go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," Trump said during a CNBC interview. Trump also threatened the European Union with increased tariffs if it failed to live up to a pledge to invest some $600 billion in the US. Meanwhile, the world is awaiting Trump's country-specific duties and jockeying ahead of their implementation. India has called out Trump after he threatened to "substantially raise" tariffs on Indian exports over its Russian oil purchases, slamming the move as unjustified. India said it would protect its interest and accused the US of a double standard on trade with Russia. Trump has signed an order to hike tariffs on Canada to 35%, while setting rates from 10% to 40% on dozens of partners. Those duties are set to come into full effect this week. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul has more details on the latest orders. You can see the new rates Trump is set to levy in the graphic below: In the past several days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of deals and trade moves leading up to his self-imposed deadline: Trump granted Mexico, the US's largest trading partner, a 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs. The US agreed to a trade deal with South Korea. The agreement includes a 15% tariff rate on imports from the country, while the US will not be charged a tariff on its exports, Trump said. Trump imposed 50% tariffs on semi-finished copper products starting Aug. 1. The president signed an order to end the de minimis exemption on low-value imports under $800, thereby applying tariffs from Aug. 29. Trump signed another order to impose a total of 50% tariffs on many goods from Brazil. However, it exempts key US imports like orange juice and aircraft parts that benefit Embraer (ERJ). The US and EU agreed to a trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on EU goods. The nations are still working on finalizing many terms of the deal.

Trump threatens EU with increased tariffs if it doesn't meet investment pledge President Trump threatened to hike tariffs on the European Union back to 35% if the bloc fails to live up to a pledge to invest some $600 billion in the US. "A couple of countries came [and said], 'How come the EU is paying less than us?' And I said well, because they gave me $600 billion," Trump said during a CNBC interview. "And that's a gift, that's not like, you know, a loan," he said, claiming that the terms allow the US to direct where the EU invests.

US tariff on EU goods set at flat 15% The EU said on Tuesday that European Union goods entering the US face a flat 15% tariff, including cars and car parts. The rate includes the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff and won't exceed 15% even if the US raises tariffs on items like semiconductors and medicines.

Trump presses India, China to halt Russian oil buys as trade talks roll on The US and China are making progress on a trade deal, but a major sticking point remains: Washington wants Beijing to stop buying oil from Iran and Russia. China has pushed back, saying it will secure energy based on its own national interests. 'China will always ensure its energy supply in ways that serve our national interests,' China's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Wednesday following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, responding to the U.S. threat of a 100% tariff. 'Coercion and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests," the ministry said. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has rejected pressure from President Trump, encouraging people to buy local goods. India has not told its oil refiners to stop purchasing Russian oil, and those decisions remain up to each company.

Trump tariff policy leaves some partners losers but few winners WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's tariff onslaught left a lot of losers — from small, poor countries like Laos and Algeria to wealthy U.S. trading partners like Canada and Switzerland. They're now facing especially hefty taxes – tariffs – on the products they export to the United States starting Aug. 7. The closest thing to winners may be the countries that caved to Trump's demands — and avoided even more pain. But it's unclear whether anyone will be able to claim victory in the long run — even the United States, the intended beneficiary of Trump's protectionist policies. 'In many respects, everybody's a loser here,'' said Barry Appleton, co-director of the Center for International Law at the New York Law School. Barely six months after he returned to the White House, Trump has demolished the old global economic order. Gone is one built on agreed-upon rules. In its place is a system in which Trump himself sets the rules, using America's enormous economic power to punish countries that won't agree to one-sided trade deals and extracting huge concessions from the ones that do.

Switzerland business minister says it could revise tariffs offer ZURICH (Reuters) -The Swiss government is open to revising its offer to the United States in response to planned heavy tariffs, Business Minister Guy Parmelin said, as experts warned the 39% import duties announced by President Donald Trump could trigger a recession in Switzerland. Switzerland was left stunned on Friday after Trump hit the country with one of the highest tariffs in his global trade reset, with industry associations warning of tens of thousands of jobs being put at risk. The country's cabinet will hold a special meeting on Monday to discuss its next steps, with Parmelin telling broadcaster RTS that the government would move quickly before the U.S. tariffs are imposed on August 7. "We need to fully understand what happened, why the U.S. president made this decision. Once we have that on the table, we can decide how to proceed," Parmelin said. Read more here.

President Trump said on Monday he will "substantially" raise tariffs on India. Stocks still remained in rally mode following Friday's sell-off. "India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits," wrote Trump on Monday morning. "They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA," he added.

Swiss gold trading takes spotlight in trade talks with Trump President Trump's tariffs on Switzerland were prompted by the country being the world's largest hub for gold refining. Gold flows in from places like South America, Africa and gets processed in Switzerland and then exported to countries like the US. This gold trade makes Switzerland's exports to the US look large and the refiners don't get to keep most of the profits. Bloomberg News: Read more here.

Trump presses India, China to halt Russian oil buys as trade talks roll on The US and China are making progress on a trade deal, but a major sticking point remains: Washington wants Beijing to stop buying oil from Iran and Russia. China has pushed back, saying it will secure energy based on its own national interests. 'China will always ensure its energy supply in ways that serve our national interests,' China's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Wednesday following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, responding to the U.S. threat of a 100% tariff. 'Coercion and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests," the ministry said. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has rejected pressure from President Trump, encouraging people to buy local goods. India has not told its oil refiners to stop purchasing Russian oil, and those decisions remain up to each company. 'The world economy is going through many apprehensions — there is an atmosphere of instability,' Modi said at a rally in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. 'Now, whatever we buy, there should be only one scale: we will buy those things which have been made by the sweat of an Indian.'

Trump tariff policy leaves some partners losers but few winners WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's tariff onslaught left a lot of losers — from small, poor countries like Laos and Algeria to wealthy U.S. trading partners like Canada and Switzerland. They're now facing especially hefty taxes – tariffs – on the products they export to the United States starting Aug. 7. The closest thing to winners may be the countries that caved to Trump's demands — and avoided even more pain. But it's unclear whether anyone will be able to claim victory in the long run — even the United States, the intended beneficiary of Trump's protectionist policies. 'In many respects, everybody's a loser here,'' said Barry Appleton, co-director of the Center for International Law at the New York Law School. Barely six months after he returned to the White House, Trump has demolished the old global economic order. Gone is one built on agreed-upon rules. In its place is a system in which Trump himself sets the rules, using America's enormous economic power to punish countries that won't agree to one-sided trade deals and extracting huge concessions from the ones that do.

Switzerland business minister says it could revise tariffs offer ZURICH (Reuters) -The Swiss government is open to revising its offer to the United States in response to planned heavy tariffs, Business Minister Guy Parmelin said, as experts warned the 39% import duties announced by President Donald Trump could trigger a recession in Switzerland. Switzerland was left stunned on Friday after Trump hit the country with one of the highest tariffs in his global trade reset, with industry associations warning of tens of thousands of jobs being put at risk. The country's cabinet will hold a special meeting on Monday to discuss its next steps, with Parmelin telling broadcaster RTS that the government would move quickly before the U.S. tariffs are imposed on August 7. "We need to fully understand what happened, why the U.S. president made this decision. Once we have that on the table, we can decide how to proceed," Parmelin said. Read more here.
