May ballot in Tuscarawas County will only have tax issues after withdrawal of candidate
NEW PHILADELPHIA ‒ With the decision by Dover Councilwoman at Large Julie Leggett not to seek reelection in 2025, there will be no contested partisan races in Tuscarawas County for the May 6 primary. The ballot will only have tax issues and local options. More on upcoming election: Voters in New Philadelphia and Strasburg will see school bond issues on May 6 ballot Leggett, a Republican who was named to fill a vacant position on Dover council in 2023, recently said she decided to withdraw from the race for family reasons. That leaves three Republicans running for the three council at large positions ‒ Councilman at Large John Correll, David Jones and Zachary Wallick. Among the most noteworthy tax issues on the ballot will be a 5.9-mill bond issue to build new school buildings in New Philadelphia and a 3.6-mill bond issue in Strasburg to revamp the district's athletic and band facilities. At a recent meeting of the Tuscarawas County Board of Elections, the board voted to reverse a decision to consolidate the Mill Township polling location at 7342 Newport Road SE, Uhrichsville, with one in Warwick Township. The board considered closing the Mill Township location because residents were casting ballots in a very small room, leading to a lack of privacy for voters. Other concerns included difficulty of access for people in wheelchairs and the pavement in the parking lot is limited and leaves mostly gravel for parking. However, the board received an email from Jennifer Ong, the township's fiscal officer, protesting the decision. "The Mill Township trustees are very much opposed to taking the polling location out of Mill Township," the email said. "The trustees are of the opinion that relocating the voting location outside of Mill Township will having a chilling effect on voter participation by Mill Township residents." The trustees noted no one from the board of elections had ever approached them with concerns about the location before they received notification about the planned consolidation, the email said. The board decided to keep the current voting location in Mill Township for now and then look for another location in the township for future elections, with input from the trustees.

Shots fired during road rage incident in Wayne Township; Dundee teen in custody
DUNDEE ‒ A 19-year-old Dundee man is being held in the Tuscarawas County Jail after several shots were fired during a road rage incident Saturday night in Wayne Township. The suspect is facing two counts of improperly handling of firearms in a motor vehicle, a fourth-degree felony; and one count of aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor. According to an announcement from the Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Office, a 34-year-old New Philadelphia man reported the road rage incident at around 8:09 p.m. He said an unknown person fired a gun from a moving vehicle. The incident began in the Wilmot area and continued into Tuscarawas County, said Detective Capt. Adam Fisher of the sheriff's office. Witnesses told deputies that between six and seven shots were fired in the Walnut Creek Bottom Road and Dundee Wilmot Road area of Wayne Township. Police later located a shell casing at the intersection of those two roads, Fisher said. The New Philadelphia man provided a description of the suspect's vehicle, a Ford Focus, which was found in Dundee. After talking with the owner of the vehicle, deputies determined that the 19-year-old was the person who fired the gun, Fisher said. When the suspect was searched, several spent shell casings were found in his pocket. They matched the shell casing found at the intersection. The weapon used in the incident, a .40 caliber handgun, had been thrown into a nearby creek. Witnesses provided a general area for deputies to search, he said. The Holmes County Sheriff's Office was contacted, and that agency provided a K-9 to assist in the search. The weapon was found in a shoebox in the creek.
