Loss of data center causes Oregon to tighten its budget for next year

Now that the proposed data center has withdrawn plans to come to Oregon, city officials are preparing for budget hearings to find ways to raise revenue and cut expenses for next year. Officials for two years had expected that the data center, which was going to be located near Corduroy and Wynn roads, would bring in millions of dollars to city coffers. When voters on Nov. 3 passed a data center charter amendment that limited its size, the company withdrew its plans, causing some supporters to worry about its impact on the city’s budget. City Administrator Brody Walters is not currently too concerned about the financial condition of the city. In fact, there is a $3 million surplus this year. Expect cost cutting, though, for next year, when revenue is expected to be less than expenditures. Council will have to make the tough decisions at the budget hearings, the first expected this month. “Right now, we’ve reviewed the general fund budget, and found savings in the neighborhood of $1.3 million across all departments,” Mr. Walters said of the $32 million projected budget estimate for 2027. “These are not painful cuts. It’s trimming the fat.” In a Nov. 9 letter to

I Knew Something Was Wrong with Wyandot County, Ohio’s Vote Totals

“Oops!” is the word out of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, the county seat of Wyandot County, and it didn’t exactly take a modern day Sherlock Holmes to figure that out. I was the Libertarian Party candidate for US Senate in Ohio this year. When I was reviewing the county-by-county voting results in Ohio’s 88 counties, I was amazed and dumbfounded to see that Greg Levy, the US Senate candidate of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (although his party was not identified on Ohio’s ballot) earned 11.49% of the vote in a conservative leaning county, when the highest vote percentage he had earned in any other county was 3.26%.

Fremont community gathers to honor military service

On Nov. 11, the public commemorated Veterans Day in Fremont at the Sandusky County Courthouse with speeches from veterans and a 21-gun salute to honor those who served. Sponsored by the Exchange Club of Fremont, the event included a Flags of Honor ceremony and music performed by the Fremont Ross High School Marching Band. "We celebrate this Veterans Day for a very few minutes, a few seconds of silence and then this country's life goes on," said Terry Stanforth, a past commander of the Fremont VFW Post 2947 and current director of Sandusky County Veterans Service Office. "But I think it most appropriate that we recall on this occasion, and on every other moment when we are faced with great responsibilities, the contribution and the sacrifice which so many of our military and their families have made in order to permit this country to now occupy its present position of responsibility and freedom." Ohio Army National Guard Chief of Staff Col. Sy Gladden and Retired USAF Lt. Col. Julie Barriere, a 1995 Ross graduate, also shared their reflections. Stanforth dwelled upon the self-sacrificing nature of veterans and service members. "Military men and women know the risks, but they accept them

Fremont mayor critical of court's leniency of man who threatened him

FREMONT – Judge number three took the bench at the Fremont Municipal Court Nov. 3 in the case of the man who left a threatening voicemail for Fremont Mayor Danny Sanchez . The man who said Sanchez was on a hit list paced back and forth outside the courtroom door, periodically sitting on the bench with victims and other offenders. His sentencing for aggravated menacing and telecommunications harassment, both first-degree misdemeanors, was to take place Nov. 3. The man pleaded guilty to the charges Sept. 15. Sentencing was delayed for at least 30 days for a previously ordered pre-sentence investigation. The probation department that conducts them was not informed of the court order, so did not conduct the investigation. Under Marsy’s Law, also known as the Ohio Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights, the probation officers include a victim’s impact statement outlining how the crime affected the victim's life. Meanwhile, an increasingly irritated Sanchez stood outside the courthouse giving a laundry list of problems with the case and argued some probable violations of Marsy's Law occurred. “I don’t think I’ve been represented fairly in this case as a victim,” Sanchez said. “I don’t feel I deserve any special treatment, but I
