Ohio Airports Reject Shutdown Video

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Akron-Canton Airport are not airing a video from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that blames Democrats for the federal government shutdown and its impact on air travel.

Cleveland Hopkins said the video “could be viewed as political or partisan,” while Akron-Canton said the video doesn’t align with its policies.

The video also didn’t air Tuesday at John Glenn International Airport in Columbus, and the airport said it’s under legal review.

The video was intended to play at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints nationwide. Currently, TSA workers and air traffic controllers are working without pay.

Toledo Selected for Truck Project

Stellantis will invest nearly $400 million in its Toledo Assembly Complex as part of a four-year, $13 billion project expected to boost domestic vehicle production by 50% and add more than 5,000 jobs.

Five new vehicle designs are planned, including a midsize truck to be built in Toledo alongside the Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler. The Toledo project is expected to create more than 900 jobs and launch in 2028.

Stellantis employs more than 4,300 people at the Toledo facility. Gov. Mike DeWine said the investment would “continue to reinforce Toledo’s legacy in the automotive sector, positioning Ohio at the forefront of the global automotive industry.”

Ohio Ranks High in Halloween Spirit

Ohio ranked No. 2 nationally for trick-or-treating, according to a Kuru Footwear study that considered walkability, pedestrian safety, child population, and average Halloween weather.

The Buckeye State also ranked No. 4 in another study examining Halloween spirit. Ohio has more haunted houses than any other state, and ranks in the top five for most Halloween music and costume searches.

With Halloween about two weeks away, the travel guide Unearth the Voyage listed eight “haunted” restaurants to try around the state. The top three destinations are The Golden Lamb in Lebanon, The Buxton Inn in Granville, and Spread Eagle Tavern & Inn in Hanoverton.
