City of Toledo to lay off around 100 city workers effective Jan. 4, The Blade reports
TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - About 100 city workers are reportedly being laid off starting Jan. 4, 2027, according to our media partner The Blade. Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said the number is higher than previously expected, in part because of the failure of Issue 16 and because income tax collections have been lower than expected. He said the layoffs will be across all departments, according to The Blade.

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

Data center restrictions gain momentum across northwest Ohio
Successful citizen-led ballot initiatives limiting the size of data centers have led to a flurry of activity in other Toledo-area municipalities since the Nov. 3 election, including Whitehouse, Waterville, and Rossford. Volunteers turned over signed petitions for those three communities on Thursday, Friday, and Monday, respectively. They claim they gathered more than enough signatures for the Lucas County Board of Elections to certify them and require each of those municipalities to put similar ballot issues in front of voters in those communities. Next up are Perrysburg, Maumee, and Bowling Green. Toledo, which would need many more signatures because of its size, could eventually be targeted as well, said Lyn Cox, county lead for Conserve Ohio’s grassroots efforts in Lucas and Wood counties. Petitions have come back from printers for Perrysburg and Maumee, and are expected to be available in the next day or two for Bowling Green, she said. In the coming weeks, citizen-led ballot initiatives also will begin in Sylvania and Holland, Ms. Cox said. The activity comes in the aftermath of Oregon’s overwhelming vote in favor of a charter amendment that bans the construction of data centers that require 25 megawatts or more of electricity, which eliminates hyperscale
