Franklin County • August 22, 2025
Good morning, Franklin County. The definitive guide to Central Ohio's medical elite has arrived! Columbus Monthly just unveiled its prestigious list of 1,000 top doctors for 2025, featuring peer-nominated physicians across 77 specialties. This comprehensive resource, curated through Castle Connolly's rigorous selection process, showcases both established medical leaders and rising stars making waves in healthcare—perfect for finding that new specialist or primary care physician you've been meaning to research.
In the development world, Columbus builders are navigating a labyrinth of bureaucratic roadblocks as area commissions and historic review boards create bottlenecks for projects across the city. Meanwhile, a significant shift in transparency has occurred at PUCO, where utility companies can no longer preview draft audits before public release—a change the Ohio Consumers' Counsel calls a "sea change" in accountability. The days of utilities softening unfavorable findings before you see them are officially over.

🏗️ Columbus developers face bureaucratic roadblocks to city projects. Area commissions and historic review boards are creating development limbo for many projects when their missions aren't aligned. The misalignment often creates an adversarial process that stalls construction plans throughout Columbus. Recent projects affected include a mixed-use development, apartments near OSU campus, and plans in German Village. Developers are seeking greater continuity in zoning ordinances to streamline the approval process and reduce delays.
⚖️ PUCO ends utilities' power to review audits before public release. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has stopped allowing utility companies to preview draft audits, a practice that let them soften unfavorable findings. Now utilities can only see completed audits and request redactions for proprietary information, with Ohio Consumers' Counsel calling it a "sea change" in transparency. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill prohibiting discrimination against students with braided hair returns for a fourth attempt, and CMHA is asking landlords to hold off on rent increases amid budget concerns. Senator Bernie Moreno faced a hostile City Club crowd while discussing Trump's second term.
