How one man in rural Ohio is fighting a $5B Amazon data center

When John Glenn first started trying to stop an Amazon Web Services data center from going up in his rural Ohio township, he worried he was being selfish. The 37-year-old truck driver was concerned the data center, planned for about half a mile away from his St. Clair Township home, would make life harder for his family and that his two young kids wouldn't want to play outside with the noise and traffic. "Once I got to thinking and digging into it, the selfish part kind of went out and I started thinking about everybody's else's families," Glenn told The Enquirer. "I would want somebody to fight for me and my family." Now, Glenn is leading a charge to stop the $5 billion Amazon data center from locating in the Butler County township once and for all. And he may win. Glenn, who was appointed to the St. Clair Township Zoning Commission in October, has spent his first few weeks in the role spearheading a resolution to ban data centers from the township, which is home to about 6,600 people. He won a spot on the zoning commission, he said, after stopping in the township administrative building to ask what

I was the first woman nominated Ohio governor. My defeat didn't mean what I feared | Opinion

Nan Whaley, the former mayor of Dayton, was the 2022 Democratic nominee for Ohio governor. The week after the 2024 election, I travelled with a large group of women from Dayton to New York City to see the Broadway show "Suffs." The show is based on the story of the decades-long fight for the passage of the constitutional amendment for women to have the right to vote in our country. After the loss of Kamala Harris and my own loss for governor in 2022, I felt beat down and hopeless about women ever being able to reach the highest levels of elected executive office. Suffs resonated deeply with me. The show’s finale is a song titled “ Keep Marching ." “You won't live to see the future that you fight for; Maybe no one gets to reach that perfect day.” That was the reminder I needed. My favorite line in the song is “... progress is possible, not guaranteed; It will only be made if we keep marching; Keep marching on.” I saw my wildest dreams In the dark days of 2024, after so many losses in Ohio and around the country, this song became my mantra of why I
