​

Good morning, Hamilton County. Every drop counts this summer at Hoxworth Blood Center, where donors are being rewarded with more than just the satisfaction of saving lives. The seasonal blood shortage is being combated with a refreshing blend of incentives—$10-20 e-gift cards for donors and free coffee from Biggby's 32 regional locations. It's a timely reminder that while vacation plans may pause, the need for blood never takes a break.

Meanwhile, our local entertainment industry is buzzing with opportunity as multiple film productions seek Cincinnati talent. From the $100/hour roles in "This Is My Body" to supporting parts in feature films like "Dexter vs Michael Myers," actors at all experience levels have chances to build sustainable careers. In other news, "Ohio Citizens for Property Tax Reform" is gathering signatures for a November ballot measure that would eliminate real property taxes statewide—a response to dramatic increases that have prompted numerous relief proposals from lawmakers.
