Here are the top three stories today in Avon-Avon Lake:

1. Are electric vehicles a good thing or a bad thing for Ohio's economy? According to cleveland.com, "the shift from gasoline-fueled engines to fully electric vehicles could be an opportunity and a threat, to Ohio's economy. But there's reason to believe the Buckeye State is in the driver's seat. Automakers are spending billions of dollars to shift from gasoline. Electric vehicle manufacturing could create thousands of new jobs, but it could also make thousands of jobs tied to making gasoline-powered vehicles obsolete. There are 91,600 auto jobs in Ohio — either assembling vehicles or making parts, according to the latest data from August. That's down from August 1990, when Ohio had 144,000 auto jobs. But the state still has the second largest automotive workforce in the country, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. "We see Ohio as the vehicle state, past, present and future," Ryan Augsburger, president and CEO of the Ohio Manufacturers Association said. "And we are supporting policies to make sure we continue to be the vehicle state."'(cleveland.com)
