Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Toledo paid one demolition damage claim from a little-known $2.4 million fund while denying others (wtol.com) — Toledo homeowners say city-ordered demolitions have damaged their properties, but records show only one claim was paid from a $2.4 million Nuisance Abatement Trust Fund while many others were denied. The investigation raises questions about how Toledo decides which residents get compensated, how the fund is overseen, and why its balance has grown so quickly from nuisance liens.
2. Former UToledo student pleads guilty in $50k elder scam case (13abc.com) — A former UToledo student living in Toledo on a student visa has pleaded guilty to scamming a Michigan elder couple out of $50,000 in a fake credit card fraud scheme. Investigators say he drove from Toledo to collect the cash, allegedly sent the money to India, and is under investigation in at least two other elder fraud cases before being arrested in Toledo in 2025.
3. Toledo Estates resident questions safety of mobile home park under new ownership (13abc.com) — A resident of Toledo Estates says mold, burned-out homes, and poor maintenance have him questioning whether the mobile home park is safe for his children. The new owner, Angel Oak Commercial Income Fund, says problems predate its purchase and it's working on code and safety issues, while state inspectors have repeatedly cited — and then cleared — violations at the Toledo property.
4. Top 10 Donald Ross Golf Course Redesigns (linksmagazine.com) — Toledo's own Inverness Club gets spotlighted as one of Donald Ross's top course redesigns, tracing its evolution from a 9-hole layout in 1903 to a restored championship venue. The story highlights its major championship history and notes upcoming U.S. Women's and Men's Opens, underscoring Inverness's national stature while still rooted in Toledo.
5. What $40 Trillion in U.S. Debt Means for America's Bottom Line; Drive to Decision Day in Toledo, Ohio - Here's the Scoop (iheart.com) — Toledo gets national attention in an NBC News roadtrip segment highlighting how local residents are feeling squeezed by inflation and uneasy about the rapid growth of AI data centers in northwest Ohio. The broader episode also explores the impact of $40 trillion in U.S. debt on households and touches on a royal family move, but Toledo's economic concerns are a key stop.
