Chillicothe City Schools treasurer Nick Overly presented the district's second attempt this year at a 0.75% earned income tax levy to City Council on October 12, describing a five-year levy that applies to salaries, wages, tips and self-employment income but not to Social Security, pensions, interest or capital gains. The levy goes to voters on November 3, 2026, after a May 5 attempt failed by just 61 votes, with 1,797 for and 1,858 against. The article links the local loss to a statewide trend in which only 24 of 66 school levies passed in May 2026, about 36%, compared with 64% in May 2025, according to Ohio School Boards Association data. Further public presentations are scheduled, including one on November 1 in the middle and high school cafeteria, and a seven-page FAQ is available on the district website.

- 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.
- Four seek two four - year seats on Burnsville City Council
Four candidates are competing for two four-year seats on the Burnsville City Council in the Nov. 3 election: incumbents Dan Kealey and Vince Workman, and challengers Catarina “Cati” Gómez and Chris John. This part of a Burnsville-Eagan Sun Thisweek questionnaire features Gómez, 27, a perinatal and family policy consultant who is vice chair of the city's Parks and Natural Resources Commission.

- Nscale in talks for $45 billion Anthropic AI deal as IPO looms
Nscale is in talks to secure a computing deal worth about $45 billion with Anthropic, according to Bloomberg News, which could strengthen the Nvidia-backed data center developer's bid for a roughly $30 billion valuation in its planned IPO. The proposed agreement would cover a second building at Nscale's Monarch campus in West Virginia, delivering 460 megawatts of capacity powered by Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips, and could be finalized within days, though terms could still change. Anthropic already has infrastructure agreements with Nscale worth as much as $44.6 billion, according to Nscale's IPO filing, and holds a right of first refusal on the campus's anticipated third building. Investors are scrutinizing AI infrastructure economics, and Nscale faces questions similar to CoreWeave's about financing, execution and converting its backlog into cash flow, since its contracts are future commitments rather than collected cash. Representatives for Nscale and Anthropic declined to comment.
- Trump says he'd meet with Putin and Xi, criticizes Zelenskyy
President Donald Trump said he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss ending the Ukraine war, and suggested such a meeting could happen without Zelenskyy present. He said Russia and China have done 'very little' to help Tehran, which has been accused of receiving their support in its military efforts against the U.S. Trump also criticized Zelenskyy's reaction to his decision to waive new sanctions against Russia, saying Zelenskyy 'doesn't know what he's talking about' and should have settled the war long ago. He added that 'it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine,' echoing his earlier call for Kyiv to get a new president.
- Market participants weigh in on SEC’s proposed crypto regulations
The SEC will close public comment on its “Regulation Crypto Assets” proposal, first introduced in August, on Tuesday. Over the 60-day period, the agency received about 140 comments on a proposed safe harbor that would keep token issuers from being treated as investment contracts, along with exemptions for offerings up to a set amount. The MiCA Crypto Alliance largely supported the proposed disclosure changes but asked the SEC to better define crypto-specific concepts and data structures. SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci also backed the rules, calling them a return to the Commission’s proper role, though he did not mention Congress’s inaction on the CLARITY Act. Some legal experts warn the rules could be overturned more easily than an act of Congress, and both the SEC and the CFTC remain understaffed at the leadership level.
- Why Lockheed Martin May Be an Underrated Stock to Buy Right Now
The article argues that Lockheed Martin (LMT) can withstand market volatility, with its stock up about 15% this year while still offering good value. In 2022, when the market fell, LMT’s total return including dividends was over 40%, compared with a negative 18% for the S&P 500, helped by its close ties to the U.S. government and strong defense spending. In the quarter ended June 28, revenue reached $20.1 billion, up 11% year over year. The stock trades at a forward P/E of about 16, below the S&P 500’s more than 19, and its dividend yields 2.6% versus the index’s roughly 1%. The company has raised its dividend for 24 consecutive years, which the article cites as a reason to hold the stock long term.
- Canadian dollar notches nearly four - week high on BoC rate hike bets
The Canadian dollar held most of its gains against the US dollar on Monday, as hawkish remarks from Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem drew more attention than domestic inflation data. The loonie traded 0.3% higher at 1.4095 per US dollar, near its strongest intraday level since September 23. Macklem said the BoC expects to raise its quarterly inflation forecast significantly this month because of persistently high oil and petroleum prices. Swap market data showed about an 80% chance of a BoC rate hike on October 28, up from 30% on Friday, while the benchmark rate has stayed at 2.25% since last October. Canadian bond yields rose across the curve, with the 10-year up 11.1 basis points to 3.940%, as investors also awaited a nonbinding Alberta referendum on secession.
- Homebuilder Sentiment Drops To Lowest Level Since 2012
Builder confidence has fallen to its lowest level since 2012, according to the NAHB and Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. Rising mortgage rates and higher energy and material costs have pushed sentiment to a 14-year low, keeping many buyers on the sidelines. The headline index rose one point to 38, still well below the breakeven level of 50, with affordability cited as a top concern for both buyers and builders. Builders also face elevated land, labor and construction costs, while NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz pointed to global events and energy prices as headwinds. He said efforts to ease regulatory burdens could still help improve long-term housing supply.
