Marietta residents fight fracking brine disposal, call it 'Russian roulette'
It's difficult to talk about Marietta without using the word "historic." The southeastern Ohio city of more than 13,000 residents sits at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers, along the West Virginia border. It is home to the largest burial site of Revolutionary War soldiers in a single graveyard, ancient Indigenous archaeological sites dating to about 100 BC, is recognized as Ohio's first permanent American settlement in 1788, and the first organized seat of government for the Northwest Territory from which Ohio was formed. But the community is now dealing with a modern threat they fear could define the city's future. Since 2025, residents, activists and local organizers have sounded the alarm about the possibility that toxic, radioactive wastewater stored thousands of feet underground could migrate into the region's drinking water. They warn that contamination could trigger an environmental disaster. For years, trucks from neighboring Pennsylvania and West Virginia have crossed into Ohio to dump billions of gallons of radioactive wastewater known as brine – the chemical waste from fracking for oil and gas – thousands of feet underground through injection wells near Marietta's water supply. The brine is stored deep underground between porous rock formations that, in

Democratic governor candidate Amy Acton hosts healthcare roundtable
ZANESVILLE – Muskingum County was next on the list for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton and her campaign. She made an appearance at the Muskingum County Democratic Party headquarters on Muskingum Avenue Aug. 7, where she took part in a roundtable discussion on healthcare costs and how to lower them. Several community members, like Vietnam War veterans, mine and line workers, physicians and nurses, introduced themselves and expressed some of their concerns. "From studying social work, I know what can happen when people... don't get proper care, it just starts to snowball more and more and more... It's scary watching the cost just go up and up and up," said Caleb Buck, a student at Ohio University Zanesville.

A few days earlier, Acton issued a policy statement calling for a conditional moratorium on data centers in order to "to
