United Way in Sandusky County is also preparing supply kits and handling calls from parents needing extra help. WTOL
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ Ohio Division of Wildlife biologist Eric Weimer said warm water in Lake Erie's Western Basin near Marblehead depleted oxygen and worsened spawning stress—resulting in many large channel catfish dying and other fish bodies washing ashore along the Euclid to Bratenahl shoreline. Local charter captains like Sam Horn noted that trophy-sized catfish were noticeably affected, and while the fish kills create a mess and odor, they pose no threat to public safety. WTOL
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ An investigation in Toledo found that parking tickets can quickly climb from a 25-cent cost to $55, causing worry over possible 8th Amendment issues and a heavy burden on low-income residents. House Bill 29 passed on April 9 ended state license holds and shifted enforcement to local penalties such as towing and collections—raising concerns for those needing daily services downtown.
