A year later, charges finally filed — and it gets darker 😶🌫️
Good morning, Delaware County. Justice moves slowly sometimes — a fatal crash on U.S. 23 finally brought charges more than a year after it happened, and a grand jury upgraded a local shooting case to aggravated murder, making it one of the county's most serious criminal developments in recent memory. Heavy stuff to start the week, but Delaware County deserves to know what's unfolding in its own backyard.
On a different note, a local medical equipment specialist is throwing his hat into the congressional ring, running on healthcare costs and ethics reform. Nationally, the U.S. national debt has cleared $40 trillion — again — while tariff threats and Tesla price hikes keep the economic mood interesting. Fresh local real estate listings are inside, too, if you need a palate cleanser.
