Toledo police, fire unions anticipate different impacts from city layoffs
Toledo’s police and fire unions are bracing for sharply different outcomes from the city’s planned layoffs. Eleven firefighters are facing layoffs, according to their union president, while police union leaders expect no officers to be laid off. The city of Toledo is preparing to lay off about 100 employees across all departments effective Jan. 4, with affected workers notified Thursday and Friday, Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said a day earlier. “It’s my opinion that the city values police over firefighters,” said Joe Cira, president of Toledo Firefighters Local 92. “My opinion is that both police and fire are extremely important to the safety of the citizens of Toledo, and they should be treated equally.” “[But] to be clear, nobody should be cut from safety forces,” he continued. “There is no room for cuts from either safety force.” Officer Michael Haynes, president of Toledo Police Patrolmen’s Association, said his expectations of zero cuts of police officers are well-founded. “I can never be positive, but I’ve been told by a credible source that no officers will be laid off,” he said. He didn’t disclose that source. “We’re already at a net minus 20 officers this year, the lowest that Toledo police have ever

Editorial: Cuts will be coming in Oregon after vote
It will not be a merry Christmas for Oregon city employees, as significant job cuts are now the only way to plug a multimillion-dollar budget deficit following voters’ rejection of a billion-dollar data center project. Oregon City Council Finance Committee Chair Dennis Walendzak asked fellow council members to clear the first Saturday in December for a daylong meeting dedicated to balancing the city’s budget. Read more editorials Mr. Walendzak addressed the council at the end of Monday’s session, which had opened with resident comments mostly cheering the passage of the ballot initiative blocking the data center planned for city-owned land at Corduroy and Wynn roads. “Obviously, 60 percent of Oregon residents are pleased with the election outcome,” Mr. Walendzak noted, adding that because personnel and benefits make up 81 percent of the budget, balancing the books takes far more than cutting back on office supplies. Voters’ rejection of the ballot measure eliminated a projected $250 million revenue stream — derived from the property sale and a 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement shared with the school district — forcing both the city and schools to operate with significantly fewer resources. During Monday’s meeting, supporters of the anti-data center charter amendment acknowledged the financial

The Heights restaurant announces second temporary closure this year
The Heights, a popular restaurant in downtown Toledo, announced Friday on social media it is temporarily closing.

Toledo officer resigns after duty weapon found in car driven by felon
A Toledo police officer has resigned after violating several department policies, a department spokesman said, including leaving a firearm in her vehicle, which was being driven by someone barred from having a weapon. Makinnah Billegas resigned effective Oct. 28 following two investigations that found willful violation of the law, conduct unbecoming of an officer, and violation of restricted telecommunications. One investigation began in August after an officer stopped a vehicle registered to Ms. Billegas that was being driven by James Moore, who had previously been convicted of a felony and barred from possessing a firearm. A search of the vehicle found Ms. Billegas’s loaded duty weapon in the locked glove compartment. Moore was arrested by police following the stop. According to the investigation report, Ms. Billegas also contacted officers and asked them not to take the firearm or make a report. Ms. Billegas was also found to have performed a search of the department’s database at the request of another person, violating restrictions on the use of the law enforcement database. “We expect every officer to uphold the law and meet the standards of this department. When an officer falls short of those expectations, we have the responsibility to address
