$1.2M gone & MGK got rained out 👀 Wiz had the last laugh
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The county left $1.2 million in lead safety funds sitting on the table — money that was there, earmarked, and then just... gone back to the state. That's a tough headline to swallow. Meanwhile, MGK's own festival turned on him when a sudden downpour cut his headlining set to 30 minutes, while Wiz Khalifa quietly had the last laugh by finishing his set before the skies opened up.
On the commute front, an I-90 ramp shuts down Sunday for two weeks — worth rerouting now before you find out the hard way. Nationally, a salmonella-linked salsa recall has grocery shoppers reading labels twice. Fresh real estate listings are inside if you're browsing the market this weekend.
