Ohio Governor DeWine and Cincinnati City Leaders Collaborate to Combat Crime Issues.

Ohio Gov.

Mike DeWine has offered assistance to Cincinnati to combat its crime problem, with state troopers expected to help as early as this weekend.

City leaders are requesting help in specific areas, including liquor enforcement and traffic enforcement.

Cincinnati's Fraternal Order of Police supports the move, emphasizing the need to focus on violent crime rather than just traffic violations.

DeWine believes this strategy, which has been successful in other cities, will help remove hardcore criminals from the streets.

The partnership between Cincinnati's Crime Gun Intelligence Center and the state's Narcotics Intelligence Center will aid in linking evidence with crimes statewide.

UAW President Shawn Fain electrified a crowd of more than 600 union members in downtown Cincinnati as tensions rose over contract negotiations with GE Aerospace.

The rally at Hard Rock Casino came just ahead of the current contract’s expiration on August 27 at 11:59 p.m.

UAW Local 647—representing workers at GE Aerospace facilities in Evendale, Ohio, and Erlanger, Kentucky—voted 84% to authorize a strike if talks break down.

Key sticking points include job security, health care costs, and paid time off.

Some workers voiced frustration with management’s lack of compassion and strict policies.

GE Aerospace employs approximately 9,000 locally and has announced a $113 million investment in the Cincinnati region.

If a strike occurs, it could ripple through the area’s $5 billion aerospace industry and affect thousands of families.
