Princeton City Schools warns that if the emergency levy on the May ballot is not passed, the district will likely cut academics, athletics and staffing—after already losing 40 staff members through attrition.

Hamilton County Commissioners approved a $184 million upgrade plan for Paycor Stadium on Tuesday, with the county providing over $64 million and the Bengals contributing $120 million (half from an NFL loan).

Commissioners Denise Driehaus and Stefanie Summerow Dumas voted in favor, while Commissioner Alicia Reece opposed the measure (citing taxpayer concerns).
