Ohio forecast to have a 'brief tornado' Thursday evening, with hail and rain possible
Tornadoes are in Thursday's forecast. Ohioans should brace themselves for the severe storm to hit Thursday evening, according to Alex Kennedy, a meteorologist who works in the Cleveland office of the National Weather Service. Strong winds will begin "late evening into the overnight hours." "It looks like it will scour through the northern portion of Ohio," Kennedy said. "The main area we're focused on now is Northwest Ohio." A weather service bulletin warns Ohioans of "strong wind gusts, large hail and a brief tornado." Wind gusts are expected to top 60 mph throughout the event, tornado or not. "That could mean damaged trees, branches down and power lines could fall," Kennedy said. Rainfall could be heavy in areas, but will be localized and not widespread. The storm could impact the following Ohio counties: Richland, Ashland, Crawford, Wayne, Ottawa, Erie, Sandusky, Knox, Morrow, Holmes, Marion, Seneca, Huron, Wyandot, Lucas, Wood, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula, Hancock, Medina, Summit, Portage, Trumbull, Stark and Mahoning. The storm will be out of the Buckeye State by daybreak Friday. "It will be fairly quick moving," Kennedy said. "Anything that happens will be pretty quick." ztuggle@ 419-564-3508 This article originally appeared on Mansfield News Journal: Thursday forecast of hail, strong winds and a potential tornado

Primary election: Mansfield voters approve pair of income tax renewal levies
Mansfield residents continued their support of a pair of 0.25% renewal levies in Tuesday's primary election. They approved the so-called P.R.I.D.E. and pothole haters tax issues by comfortable margins. The pothole haters tax passed by a margin of 1,658 votes to 843, or 66.2% to 33.8%, in final, unofficial totals from the Richland County Board of Elections. As for the P.R.I.D.E. tax, it collected 1,555 "yes" votes to 922 "no" votes, a winning margin of 62.8% to 37.2%. Each levy will generate $4.8 million during each of the four years. The pothole haters tax has been renewed each time since it was first put on the ballot in the late 1980s. Jodie Perry "I'm very thankful that voters decided to give us another four years to work in both of these areas," Mayor Jodie Perry said. "That's a sign they're satisfied with the things they're seeing." The pothole haters tax funds 100% of the city's resurfacing each year. Perry previously said the city does anywhere from $4 million to $6 million in resurfacing annually. P.R.I.D.E. stands for parks, recreation, illumination, demolitions and emergency services. Half of the money goes to the safety services, 22% for parks, 20% for demolitions and 8% for street lights. "This will help us get staffing numbers up in the police department and keep the fire department fully staffed as well," Perry said. The levy covers 100% of the parks budget and provides the only funding for demolitions. "The demolition money is very unique and has helped us clean up a lot of blight," Perry said. "We'll continue getting things cleaned up, so we can build for the future." Parks have been another focus of Perry's administration. "We've made some great strides in the last 15 months," the mayor said. mcaudill@ 419-521-7219 X: @MarkCau32059251 This article originally appeared on Mansfield News Journal: Mansfield voters give thumbs-up to pair of renewal levies

Primary election: Mansfield voters asked to pass pair of income tax renewals
Two 0.25% renewal income tax issues on the May 6 ballot have been consistently passed by Mansfield voters. Mayor Jodie Perry is hoping for more of the same. "Anytime you have something on the ballot, you just never know what the will of voters will be," she said. Residents will consider the so-called PRIDE and pothole haters tax issues next month. Each levy would generate $4.8 million during each of their four years. "So much of what we do at the city is dependent on those levies," Perry said. The mayor said the pothole haters tax has been renewed since it was first put on the ballot in the late 1980s. "It funds 100% of our resurfacing every year," Perry said. "If we were to rely just on the streets budget for that, we would not be able to do much of anything." Perry said the city does anywhere from $4 million to $6 million a year in resurfacing. PRIDE stands for parks, recreation, illumination, demolitions and emergency services. Half of the money goes to the safety services, 22% for parks, 20% for demolitions and 8% for streetlights. "We're calling it parks and safety at this point. It's 100% of our parks budget," Perry said, adding it also provides the only funding for demolitions. Both the PRIDE and the pothole haters taxes were resoundingly approved the last time they were on the ballot in 2021. The pothole tax earned 76% approval from voters, while the PRIDE tax garnered 72% of the votes. Perry emphasized the city is not asking for new money. "We've had some good momentum over the last 15-18 months," she said. "There's a lot of good projects taking place." mcaudill@ 419-521-7219 X: @MarkCau32059251 This article originally appeared on Mansfield News Journal: Mansfield residents asked to pass income tax renewal levies
