Good morning, Meigs County. Alan Greenspan — the man who guided the U.S. economy through recessions, booms, and everything in between for nearly two decades — passed away this week, closing the book on one of the most influential careers in American financial history. Meanwhile, Tulsa is moving forward with $105 million in reparations for the 1921 destruction of "Black Wall Street," a long-overdue reckoning over a century in the making. And in Boulder, a flamethrower attack at a public event left eight people injured — a jarring reminder that the news never really slows down.
On a lighter note, a federal budget deficit is making headlines alongside some wild tariff math from the Treasury. Closer to home, the ⚔️ Civil War Battle Memorial Dedication on July 18 is right around the corner, and fresh real estate listings are waiting inside.
