Clermont County • October 15, 2025
Good morning, Clermont County. The high-stakes world of financial litigation is heating up as Huntington National Bank's CEO prepares for a November deposition in a two-year-old RICO lawsuit filed by a Cincinnati real estate developer. While the Columbus-based institution deals with legal challenges, the case appears to be moving steadily toward trial—a significant development in what must be a complex financial dispute involving serious racketeering allegations.
Just minutes away in Brown County, a more immediate crisis unfolded Tuesday morning when a serious two-vehicle collision at a Georgetown intersection left a child and adult with injuries severe enough to require airlift transportation to Cincinnati hospitals. As Ohio State Highway Patrol investigators work the scene, local residents are also navigating the ripple effects of the federal government shutdown, which threatens everything from health care subsidies to SNAP benefits as the political impasse stretches into its second week.

🏦 Bank CEO faces deposition in real estate developer's RICO lawsuit. Huntington National Bank's Stephen Steinour will be deposed in November as part of a two-year-old case filed by a Cincinnati real estate developer. The upcoming deposition signals the lawsuit is approaching a trial date. While details of the allegations aren't specified in the article, the case involves racketeering claims against the Columbus-based financial institution. The bank has recently made other personnel changes, including naming a new Cincinnati market president.
🚑 Two airlifted after serious two-vehicle collision in Brown County. A child and an adult sustained severe injuries in the crash that occurred Tuesday morning at the intersection of T McNoun Road and Yockey Road in Georgetown, Ohio. AirCare transported the child to Cincinnati Children's Hospital and the adult to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment. Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers believe both injured individuals were in the same vehicle. The road remains closed as authorities investigate the scene.
🏛️ Federal shutdown impacts Cincinnati as political impasse continues. Local residents face uncertainty over health care subsidies, SNAP benefits, and WIC funding as the government shutdown enters its second week. The shutdown stems from partisan disagreements over Affordable Care Act subsidies and Medicaid cuts, potentially affecting tens of thousands in Greater Cincinnati. While SNAP benefits were distributed for October, future payments remain uncertain, and WIC funding could run out within weeks. Meanwhile, most NIOSH employees are furloughed, federal courts remain temporarily open, and national attractions like the Taft Historic Site are closed.
