A governor, a jug, and $40 trillion in debt walk into a fairground 🎖️
Good morning, Delaware County. The Little Brown Jug is adding Gov. Mike DeWine to its Wall of Fame — a nod to his long-running love for one of harness racing's most iconic events. He'll get his moment in the winner's circle on Jug Day, September 24th, which is shaping up to be a pretty memorable afternoon at the fairgrounds.
Beyond the local fanfare, it's a busy morning on the national front — oil markets are rattled, Amazon is tangling with regulators, and the national debt just crossed $40 trillion (no big deal). On a much lighter note, story time events are lined up at local libraries this week for the little ones, and fresh real estate listings are waiting inside if you're in a browsing mood.
