Voters pass multiple tax measures in Hocking County

In unofficial results from the Hocking County Board of Elections, a number of local tax levies were passed by county voters in the Nov. 3 election — though with two of the measures, the vote was close enough that the outcome could conceivably still change once outstanding provisional votes are counted. Levies that passed by solid margins include: • Scenic Hills Senior Center renewal levy — 5,293 for, 3,954 against • Murray City current expenses renewal levy 1 — 57 for, 25 against • Murray City current expenses renewal levy 2 — 56 for, 26 against • Murray City fire renewal levy — 61 for, 22 against • Murray City street renewal levy — 57 for, 25 against • Murray City police renewal levy — 52 for, 30 against • Good Hope Township fire renewal levy — 382 for, 156 against • Laurel Township road renewal levy — 268 for, 160 against • Saltcreek Township road renewal levy — 199 for, 134 against Others, however, were close enough that outstanding provisionals could potentially flip the outcome. These include the Falls Township fire renewal and increase levy, which won by a three-vote margin of 848 for, 845 against; and the Laurelville

Licking County to close River Road at SR 16, citing traffic safety concerns

Licking County will completely close but permit emergency access at River Road and State Road 16 in a push to keep drivers safe. There isn’t a merge lane for commuters turning onto Route 16 from River Road, which the Ohio Department of Transportation said threatens traffic safety . The agency believes closing the intersection could help prevent crashes after there were 14, half of which resulted in injuries, there between 2021 and 2025. The intersection is 7 miles west of Newark in Granville Township. The closure will shift how residents in the Mill Race neighborhood access the highway, pushing them to James Road and others that ODOT expects would see more traffic because of the change. Commissioner Tim Bubb, Duane Flowers and Rick Black voted unanimously Nov. 2 to approve a petition from ODOT to close the intersection to commuters but allow emergency access. Each of them cited safety in their reasoning, with Bubb stating he believes safety concerns outweigh convenience. "At the end of the day, safety for our children, people who live here and thousands of people who drive on that intersection – safety trumps just about everything," Bubb said during a Nov. 2 meeting. "Tolerating an unsafe

Perry County Commissioners discuss finances

NEW LEXINGTON — At their Wednesday meeting, the Perry County Commissioners received quarterly financial updates from county Administrator Jim Stroup, who explained that a few departments had been trending downward in their spending, and that the county received slightly more revenue than expected. The commissioners then approved a handful of appropriations. It was later explained that these appropriations included funding for engineering costs for Northern Perry County Water and Wastewater, a $2,000 grant for the sheriff’s office for national forest patrol, and a $37,000 appropriation from the general fund, which acted as an insurance buyout for a cruiser that was heavily damaged by floodwater. The commissioners also approved and accepted a $1,000 donation from Humana for the annual back-to-school bash. They also agreed to award four ODOT demolition projects to the lowest bidder. These projects are centered around four brownfield sites located within the county that need to be demolished. Later, they authorized board of commissioners President Scott Owen to sign the records retention schedule for the Sheriff’s office. They also authorized him to sign a grant proposal for emergency phone communications within the elevator at the Job and Family Services building. They later agreed to increase the ceiling from

Meet the candidate: Thad Claggett vies for third term as state representative in House District 68

Thaddeus Claggett (R-Licking County) can trace his family history back more than 130 years in the low-rolling knolls of the Welsh Hills in Licking County. The Republican representative for District 68 in the Ohio State House — running to maintain his seat against Democrat Mason Blankenship — says his roots in his community run deep – in part because his family has lived on the same street in Newark for 130 years, and, in part, because of his commitment to serving the community.
