Senior services face funding squeeze as levy funds shift
Clermont Senior Services Inc. relies on a half mill levy from 1982, funding nearly half of its programs. Clermont County commissioners may divert about 300,000 dollars in Title XX funds from senior services to the welfare department, risking cuts to meals, home care, and transportation for seniors. The agency warned that losing Title XX could force it to seek grants, while senior programs like nutrition centers, GAIN S, and Chore Service continue with reduced federal revenue and donations.

Parole Boosts Felons Amid Calls For Reform
Kenneth Waybright could be free on parole in Clermont County next week after about 10 years of a life sentence for the 1974 Montgomery Arms rape and murder in Amelia. Blevins and Harris received long prison terms for murder and LSD trafficking, with prosecutors arguing the parole system fails to protect society and victims. The parole board granted Waybright parole after review, while prosecutors say letters and prison behavior should be weighed heavily.
