- Oakville City Council approves resolution in support of fire district
At its October 12 meeting, the Oakville City Council approved a resolution backing two levies on the November ballot for Grays Harbor Fire District No. 1 (GHFD), the oldest fire district in Grays Harbor County. The district operates two stations covering a 97-square-mile area. The first levy would fund daily operations, personnel, station and apparatus maintenance, training, equipment and supplies, helping maintain service levels amid inflation and fire insurance ratings. The second, an Emergency Medical Services levy, would support medical transports, reduce reliance on outside agencies, and sustain faster response to heart attacks, strokes and trauma. An open house is scheduled for October 17 from 4 to 7 p.m.
- Second Attempt at Chillicothe City Schools Levy Outlined to City Council
Chillicothe City Schools Treasurer Nick Overly presented to City Council the district's second attempt this year at a 0.75% earned income tax levy to support the schools. The proposed five-year levy would apply to salaries, wages, tips and self-employment income, but not to Social Security, pensions, interest or capital gains, and is on the November 3, 2026 ballot. The May 5, 2026 attempt failed by just 61 votes, 1,797 for and 1,858 against, part of a statewide trend in which only 24 of 66 school levies passed in May. According to Ohio School Boards Association data cited in the article, that compares with 64% approval in May 2025 and 52% in May 2024. A further public presentation is set for November 1, the day before the election.

- Has VinFast found the 'chicken' to solve Vietnam's auto industry's toughest dilemma?
Vietnam's auto industry has long been stuck in a chicken-and-egg dilemma: low output discourages suppliers from investing, while a weak supporting industry keeps costs high. The article argues that VinFast's growing output could create the stable demand suppliers have been waiting for. VinFast delivered 196,919 electric vehicles globally in 2025, up 102%, including 46,977 VF 3s, and in the first nine months of the year it delivered 42,272 VF 3s and 40,018 Limo Green vehicles in Vietnam alone. The company said it added 55 domestic suppliers and localized 108 component groups in one year, and opened supply opportunities for its plants in India and Indonesia. However, suppliers still need stable, long-term orders, as well as competitive quality, cost and logistics, before they can commit to new investment.

The bounce was tepid: the Nasdaq rose 1%, while CoreWeave turned negative and fell to a new low for the year below $60 per share. Oil rose about $2 to around $103 per barrel, lifting inflation worries and pushing Treasury yields higher. Bank of America raised its price target on Eli Lilly to $1,397 from $1,341 after a physician survey suggested oral GLP-1 pills and Medicare coverage are expanding the obesity drug market, with Foundayo at 27% of U.S. oral GLP-1 new starts.

American Airlines shares are down 23% year to date at $11.87, lagging United (down 14%), Delta (up 8%), the U.S. Global Jets ETF (down 8%) and the S&P 500 (up 13%). Higher fuel costs drove the drop: in Q2 2026 revenue rose 16.3% to $16.7 billion, but aircraft fuel expense jumped 83.3% to $4.9 billion, operating margin fell to 2.7% from 7.9%, and net income dropped 88.2% to $71 million. Management cut its full-year adjusted outlook to a range from a loss of $0.65 to a profit of $0.65 per share, and guided to a Q3 adjusted loss of $0.70 to $0.10 per share. Premium revenue per unit rose 13.4% and managed corporate business grew 26%, but the company carries a stockholders' deficit of $3.97 billion and total debt of $34.7 billion. The article says the stock could rebound if fuel prices ease, and Q3 results are expected on October 22.
