Good morning, Kent.

The Ohio Division of Wildlife reported that 964 active bald eagle nests have been recorded in 87 of Ohio’s 88 counties with Ottawa County showing 112 nests (Meigs County is the only county without one).

The Ohio Division of Wildlife reported 964 active bald eagle nests in 87 counties, with Ottawa County having 112 and only Meigs County lacking one—wetland habitats near Lake Erie help the birds find abundant food—which supports their growing population.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed four property tax relief measures in the state budget, leaving lawmakers divided on whether to override the veto—some plan to act this summer while others want to wait until October when the legislature resumes.

The governor said he will form a working group to study the issue and find new tax solutions for homeowners.
