Prosecutor poised to file charges against ex Taft aide
Columbus prosecutors say they will file ethics charges against Brian Hicks, Gov. Bob Taft’s former chief of staff, over gifts received as a public official and failure to disclose them. The deadline looms Friday to beat the statute of limitations. Hicks, in office 1999 to 2003, did not comment as investigators also probe his 2001 stay at Tom Noe’s Florida home amid a state investment scandal.

A state commission leads a recovery plan after a $6.25 million deficit was found. Residents oppose a proposed throughway in Deer Run, urging an emergency vehicle path instead.

JEDD Talks Progress With Liberty Township and Partners
Becker said it is too early to set the local share in the JEDD, likely below the previous 17.5 percent request by Hamilton. The latest township proposal allocated 2 percent to Hamilton, 10 percent to Mason, plus a 5 percent tax collection fee. Middletown may join due to location near Lemon Township and Monroe, which border Liberty Township. Continued discussions are expected in coming weeks with final approval possible by City Council if an agreement is reached.
