Good morning, Ross County. Accountability has a long memory — and a Ross County jail misconduct case is proving exactly that, resurfacing with fresh scrutiny over why a former administrator still hasn't faced criminal charges despite video evidence of an inmate assault. It's the kind of story that's hard to look away from. On a warmer note, licensed social worker Holly Sunflower is trading her client files for a classroom, returning to Ohio University Chillicothe this fall to teach the next generation of social workers — a full-circle moment worth celebrating.
Nationally, the U.S. debt crossed $40 trillion, markets got a breather from a Treasury buyback move, and biotech is buzzing after promising cancer trial results from Moderna and Merck. Fresh local real estate listings are also waiting inside if you're in a browsing mood.
