Feds take control of illegal alien cases in Ohio
In central Ohio the number of arrestees moved from Franklin County jail to federal ICE for possible deportation rose to 799 last year from 628 the year before and 48 in 2008. Police warn prosecutions suffer as deportation actions disrupt cases including a homicide witness and a heroin arrest. Authorities clash over who flags inmates for deportation as statewide communication gaps widen.

Ohio Legislature Sets Record for Inactivity
The Ohio General Assembly’s two year session ended as the least productive in modern history with only 58 bills becoming law. Lawmakers met 52 times in the House and 58 times in the Senate, far below the prior average. Senate Republicans had more seasoned experience than the House leaders amid term limits and divided chambers.

Northeast Ohio sees rise in short sales amid foreclosures
Short sales in Northeast Ohio rose to about six percent of September home transfers, up from around two percent four years earlier, with Cuyahoga Geauga Lake Lorain Medina counties included. Analysts say they lessen vacancy and preserve some recovery for lenders, though processing delays and fraud vetting remain risks. North Olmsted residents Kimberly Deskins and Mike Krisp pursued a short sale for their three bedroom home after a buyer offered sixty eight thousand dollars in cash before pulling out.

Ohio towns struggle to fill abandoned big box stores
Miami Valley faces 28 vacant properties over 50 000 square feet and four million square feet of empty retail space a 19 percent vacancy rate far above the national 11 percent average. Redevelopment is uncertain as communities seek buyers for large vacant sites dubbed red fields with few prospects for repurposing. The recession and suburban shift accelerated abandonments while Trotwood uses state funds to raze nearly 1 million square feet of the former Salem Mall to remove a blight.
