Dead Americans receive nearly five million monthly in erroneous federal payments
Reports show that about 4.8 million dollars a month are sent to deceased individuals by multiple agencies including the Defense Department, Labor, Railroad Retirement Board and OPM, with another 475,000 from Veterans Affairs. GAO notes slow data sharing between Social Security and states limits cross-agency cleanup, while checks clear due to prior direct deposits or forged signatures. Recovery odds decline after a year.

Oberlin Library Faces Financial Risk If Levy Fails
Phil Tear of the Citizens Committee warns the Oberlin Public Library could cut staff and hours and drop planned book purchases if the 3-mill five-year levy on the May 7 ballot fails. Library director Pat Hotsworth says the levy would cover about 35 percent of funding, with the rest from the state.
