September 9, 2024, Press Release from the Office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost: (COLUMBUS, Ohio) – Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost today directed his office to research legal avenues to stop the federal government from sending an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities.  The directive comes in response to concerns from communities, particularly Springfield in Clark County, that have been inundated and overwhelmed by surging migrant populations. The sudden and extreme population growth has strained the city’s economic, medical and educational systems.

A large crowd of American Township residents attending Monday night's board of trustees meeting voiced concerns about potential development north of Bluelick Road. To help residents who have questions, the Allen Economic Development Group provided a presentation on 3 potential development concepts with the 800-acre property.

Late Monday night, at Lion Farms USA Mink Farm in Hoaglin Township, fencing was intentionally destroyed, releasing between 25,000 and 40,000 mink. Mink are predators, so such a large number of them escaping poses a significant threat to pets, livestock, and wildlife populations. People who own chicken and ornamental fish ponds are particularly at risk.
