Closing Highland County Court, Madison Township Division would shift real costs onto Greenfield in police overtime and lost patrol time (our department files roughly 80 percent of the charges here), onto the sheriff in added deputies for transport and service, and back onto county taxpayers through more failures to appear, warrants, and jail days for people who simply can't make a 34-mile round trip to Hillsboro.

Democratic socialists’ much-anticipated iron-clad grip on the party in Wisconsin dissolved into thin air Tuesday night when David Crowley pulled off a stunning upset, defeating Francesca Hong for the Democratic nomination for governor.

Since I was a kid I’ve been fascinated with history, poring for hours over a collection of front pages of The Columbus Dispatch that my mom bought me at the state fair, or a reprint of a 1903 Sears catalogue she got… somewhere, or yellowing hardbound editions of American Heritage magazine. But the fascination also goes back to something more tangible — and to a place only yards away from the fairgrounds. To the grounds of the brutalist Ohio History Center that went up in 1970. 

A Hollywood treatment of real-life events, “The Brink of War” gets off to an inauspicious start. The Cold War was “at its most critical point” in October 1986, reads the opening prologue card—yet one could assert that about basically any month from 1945–1991.

The genius of elections is not that they remove bad politicians. It’s that the possibility of removal changes behavior long before Election Day. Congress doesn’t need more elections. It simply needs to remember every month that one is coming. Perhaps Pavlov’s bell could do the trick.

David Williams, president of the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, said there is not enough accountability or oversight of the money that goes to nonprofits.

AI should strengthen, not destabilize, our education and workforce systems, and many educators and employers are already showing how that can be done responsibly.

Thanks, Stephen, for 20 years – and counting – of outstanding sports reporting. You are the best in the business. And good luck to all of today's young student-athletes.

We can’t let the despots win. If we do, we have failed terribly at learning history and saving our country for future generations. 

I am looking forward to seeing her bounding across the fields and jumping across rocks and swimming in the creek, but yes, I am going to miss these walks, where I can reach down and run my fingers across her furry forehead.

Democrats are embracing the failed economic agenda of socialism: higher taxes, lower wages, fewer choices, and less opportunity. Americans don’t want socialism. They want the best opportunity to chase their American dream and raise their families in freedom.

Most of us, after being away from home for a period of time, finally find ourselves feeling an itch, a longing, a certain need that draws us back to the place we call home.

Accountability does not always require a courtroom. Sometimes it requires only that we stop pretending we don’t see the truth. It requires that we restore the principle that free people, not unaccountable bureaucrats, retain the right to make their own medical decisions.
