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

Toledo police, fire unions anticipate different impacts from city layoffs
Toledo’s police and fire unions are bracing for sharply different outcomes from the city’s planned layoffs. Eleven firefighters are facing layoffs, according to their union president, while police union leaders expect no officers to be laid off. The city of Toledo is preparing to lay off about 100 employees across all departments effective Jan. 4, with affected workers notified Thursday and Friday, Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said a day earlier. “It’s my opinion that the city values police over firefighters,” said Joe Cira, president of Toledo Firefighters Local 92. “My opinion is that both police and fire are extremely important to the safety of the citizens of Toledo, and they should be treated equally.” “[But] to be clear, nobody should be cut from safety forces,” he continued. “There is no room for cuts from either safety force.” Officer Michael Haynes, president of Toledo Police Patrolmen’s Association, said his expectations of zero cuts of police officers are well-founded. “I can never be positive, but I’ve been told by a credible source that no officers will be laid off,” he said. He didn’t disclose that source. “We’re already at a net minus 20 officers this year, the lowest that Toledo police have ever

The Heights restaurant announces second temporary closure this year
The Heights, a popular restaurant in downtown Toledo, announced Friday on social media it is temporarily closing. The restaurant and bar will close Saturday “while we give the space and menu a fresh new look,” a hotel spokesman said Friday afternoon. “We plan to reopen in December 2026 and will share the exact reopening date as soon as it’s set.” The private catering space will remain open and available for events throughout the refresh. To book a private event, guests can contact Brittany Haas at brittany.haas@marriott.com or 419-244-2444. The eatery is located on the rooftop of the Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel, 444 N. Summit St., with views of the Maumee River and the city skyline. The Renaissance’s hospitality team made a similar move earlier this year when the Heights announced a temporary closure at the beginning of February, which lasted nearly four months. The intent was to refresh the Heights’ offerings during the slower winter months, a hotel spokesman said at the time.

To the editor: All money went to oil companies
It never ceases to amaze me how people are seemingly confused by the truth. To all those who have made excuses for the drubbing the Republicans just took, including the vice president, I offer the following simple facts: It’s the economy, stupid! Remember that phrase? Read more letters to the editor Simply drive down any main street and look at the posted gas and diesel prices! Go to the grocery store and look at the prices! Go to McDonald’s and look at the prices! $8 for a Big Mac! Want to buy a house? Aside from the unaffordable price, the interest rate on the mortgage is hard to imagine, let alone pay! Finally, when the oil companies post their earnings, you’ll know where most of the money went. For a country supposedly energy independent, this must be some kind of sick joke except that we Americans are paying for it. America First isn’t a suggestion.
