Ohio Edison plans to raise electric bills by 1.5% for Clark County customers—meaning an average user will pay about $1.92 more per month—to cover costs for better distribution services. The Public Utilities Commission will hold an evidentiary hearing May 5 at 10 a.m. in Columbus to review the proposal.

Young’s Jersey Dairy in Dayton is changing its Easter hunt on April 20 by using plastic eggs — each egg has a ticket for a free ride on Cowtherine’s Carousel and the farm will donate $1,500 each to The Foodbank in Dayton and Second Harvest Food Bank in Springfield. The dairy said it will use real, hand-dyed eggs again in 2026.

A federally funded shipment of essential foods—chicken, pork, milk, eggs, cereal and turkey breast—was canceled for Second Harvest Food Bank as the permanent cut in the Local Food Purchase Assistance program will leave over 350,000 families with less support; the delivery was set between May and August. This loss comes at a critical time when many children will miss free or reduced-price school meals during the summer.

Thousands of Ohioans start their day with Today in Springfield

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“This newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use the newsletter to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
