Officials are working on plea negotiations for three Chilean men charged in the December burglary at Joe Burrow’s Anderson Township home when nearly $300,000 in designer luggage, watches and jewelry was stolen while the Bengals were in Dallas, and the suspects face federal and Hamilton County charges after being arrested during a traffic stop.

Ohio House lawmakers will vote on July 21 to try to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s vetoes on three property tax measures—needing 60 votes in the House and, if successful, 20 votes in the Senate for the override.
