Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Water leaks put Toledo luxury apartments into disrepair, tenants form union to fight worsening conditions (13abc.com) — Tenants at Toledo's Saxon House apartments say persistent leaks, mold, and unreliable plumbing have turned once-luxury units into increasingly unlivable homes, so they've formed a tenants' union to push for repairs. With the building in foreclosure and a court-appointed receiver now in charge, residents are seeking legal permission to place rent into emergency escrow until systemic problems are fixed.
2. Garmin Marathon Series returns to Toledo Sunday, road closures raise neighbor concerns (13abc.com) — Toledo streets will see more than 3,500 runners Sunday as the Garmin Marathon Series returns, bringing rolling road closures that could briefly trap some neighbors in their blocks. Organizers say police will reopen streets as the last runners pass, while nearby residents push for course tweaks that better balance scenic routes with everyday access for Toledo neighborhoods and businesses.
3. Oregon man accused of killing girlfriend, staging death as suicide pleads no contest (wtol.com) — A Lucas County case tied to Toledo details how a 20-year-old Oregon, Ohio man pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter, felonious assault, and evidence tampering in his girlfriend's 2025 shooting death. Prosecutors say he tried to stage the killing as a suicide, and he has agreed to a recommended 30–35.5 year prison term, with sentencing set for October 2.
4. Higher fuel prices could push up costs beyond the pump, UToledo professor says (wtol.com) — A University of Toledo business professor warns that rising gasoline and diesel prices will likely hit Toledo households twice, first at the pump and then through higher prices on groceries, deliveries, and services. He explains how trucking and transportation costs feed into store shelves, urging residents to budget carefully as fuel costs continue to fluctuate.
5. Two indicted in Ohio for allegedly defrauding investors in Ponzi scheme (wlwt.com) — A Toledo man and a Michigan woman have been indicted in Lucas County, accused of running a Ponzi-style investment scheme that allegedly took more than $1.7 million from mostly elderly investors in Ohio and Michigan. State officials say the Toledo adviser continued steering clients into an unlicensed Michigan investment club even after losing his job, and both now face numerous felony securities and theft charges.
