    News Man Weekly: Property taxes with Pat Dropsey; Main Street, Keesee verdict and more!

    This week on News Man Weekly, Carl, Zac and Hayden catch up on the latest headlines from North Central Ohio, including the completion of Mansfield's $20 million Main Street improvement project, the conviction of a former Faith Life Church official and Mansfield City Council's decision to put a proposed downtown camping ban on hold.  Plus, on the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Carl counts down his Top 5 worst maritime disasters in history, from the Titanic to some lesser-known tragedies that claimed thousands of lives. Then, we welcome Richland County Auditor Pat Dropsey for a timely conversation about property taxes — a subject generating plenty of questions and frustration among local homeowners.  With Richland County undergoing its 2026 property valuation update, Dropsey explains why home values are climbing, how those assessments translate into actual tax bills and what residents can expect when their bills arrive in 2027. The conversation also covers Ohio's complicated property tax system, recent legislative efforts to provide relief and what homeowners can do if they believe their property has been overvalued.  Whether you're a longtime homeowner or just trying to make sense of your latest property assessment, this episode aims to make one of Ohio's most confusing issues a little easier to understand. This episode is powered by the great folks at Relax, It's Just Coffee.

Where will everyone park? What happens to existing businesses? And how will the project be financed? It's a conversation about the challenges, opportunities and long-term vision behind one of downtown Mansfield's most significant redevelopment efforts in decades.

    A conversation with U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan

    Welcome to a special edition of the Source Daily podcast, a one-on-one interview with U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan.  Jordan (R) is seeking re-election next week in the November election.  Richland Source invited all three candidates for the 4th congressional district -- including Joshua Kolasinski (D) and Tracey Tackett (I) -- to participate in such discussions.  Jordan was the only candidate who accepted our invitation to participate.  Our discussion with Jordan touched on a variety of issues — using some of the questions developed by author and reporter Amanda Ripley as a way of cutting through conflict with questions that “complicate the narrative.” Richland Source Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell conducted the interview.  Support the show: https://richlandsource.com/members See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
