Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
We're kicking off the month with some big changes in Franklin County. Starting today, shoppers will notice a slight increase in their receipts as the sales tax goes up by 0.5%. This bump is due to the new COTA levy, so remember that your purchases are helping fund our public transit system.
In job market news, while Ohio ended 2024 on a strong note, economists are cautioning about potential challenges ahead. Bill LaFayette from Regionomics predicts slower growth for central Ohio in 2025, with an estimated addition of just 4,400 jobs. However, healthcare and education sectors are expected to provide some stability.
On the business front, a local construction company is dealing with an unusual theft. They're asking for the public's help in locating a crane valued at over $500,000 that was stolen from a job site in Columbus. If you've spotted any suspiciously large equipment on the move, authorities would like to hear from you.
In community news, the Franklin County Coroner's Office is hosting an art exhibit aimed at breaking the stigma surrounding addiction. This unique initiative brings together art and public health awareness in an unexpected setting.
Sports fans, here's something to cheer about: Capital University's Grace Osborn has shattered the NCAA lacrosse points record. It's a proud moment for our local sports scene.
Now, let's talk weather. We're in for a warmer spell, with temperatures climbing into the 70s by the weekend. However, keep those umbrellas handy as rain is in the forecast.
In an odd culinary incident, Waffle House customers in Grove City reported finding a human tooth in their hash browns. Health officials are investigating, so maybe stick to the waffles for now.
On a more positive note, the Grove City High School marching band recently had the honor of performing on the USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor. It's great to see our local talent showcasing their skills on a national stage.
In today's crime report, police are searching for a Toledo murder suspect who may have been hiding in Columbus. Authorities believe the individual had connections in our area that allowed them to evade capture.
Looking ahead, Ohio State University students are planning a protest at the Ohio Union today regarding university policies. If you're in the campus area, expect some activity around the union.
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
