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

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

The intent was to refresh the Heights’ offerings during the slower winter months, a hotel spokesman said at the time.

Hudson, Britton Deerfield look to keep playoff runs alive in crucial Week 12 matchups
Hudson and Springport met on the gridiron for the first time last season. By halftime, the Tigers knew they were regional champions. On Friday, for the second straight year, Hudson (10-1, 1st in LCAA) will host Springport (10-1, 1st in Big 8) at Thompson Field with a regional title on the line. Beckett Campbell stole the show last time around. The running back had a career night with 14 carries for 359 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 68-22 win over the Spartans as a sophomore. Campbell, now a junior, will lead Hudson once more against the Big 8 Conference champions. Springport retained momentum from its program-best 11-1 season in 2025. The Spartans ran the table with an undefeated 8-0 record in conference play. Their only loss this season came in Week 3, a 42-13 loss to top-ranked Beal City. Last season, Springport’s offense was led by senior quarterback Gibson Overweg. His younger brother, sophomore Rip Overweg, has since filled his shoes. Rip has led a Spartan offense that prides itself on running the ball and making high-percentage throws. Last week, he accounted for four total touchdowns in Springport’s 34-22 district final win over Decatur. “[Overweg]
