Good morning, Delaware County. Delaware County law enforcement had a busy week — a local man received a nearly 27-year federal sentence for drug and gun crimes, and county agencies teamed up with central Ohio partners to crack down on organized retail theft rings. It's the kind of coordinated effort that doesn't always make headlines but quietly makes a difference. Nationally, a billion-dollar Powerball jackpot landed in Illinois, Treasury bonds just hit their priciest borrowing rate since 2001, and an American Airlines flight turned dramatic after a bird strike sent engine flames into the mix.
On a more grounded note, fresh local real estate listings are ready for your browsing, and today's Financial Friday tip on tackling high-interest debt might be the most useful thing you read all week.
