A thread about the Bratenahl story. Some details didn't make the story. I called the mayor to request ticket data. He demanded to know who provided info about a problem. He said the village had no issues; the ACLU of Ohio cleared it in 2019. https://t.co/6pwNdrvnt5
@telkinsjr Thank you, Tony! I couldn’t have been luckier to end up on your team right out of college. There are so many lessons learned from those days I still think about.
After five years at @gannett, today is my last day. I’m so grateful for my time here and the many talented journalists I’ve worked with. I’ve learned so much from my kind and dedicated colleagues.
It feels especially fitting that my final project was alongside my local paper, the @statesman. This story is worth your time (and a subscription)! https://t.co/K8wcTyzjWD

Some important things in Texas that journalists (and therefore the public) weren't given in-person access to today:
- the first execution in 10 months
- the signing of a law that restricts abortion access
- the full text of SB 7, which restricts voting in the state
