NEW: The cost of President Trump's plan to repair the Reflecting Pool has jumped by 88 percent, to $13.1M, gov't records show.
The price appears to include a 20 percent profit margin for Trump's handpicked contractor, who got the job in a no-bid contract.

A truly incredible and historic day in Toledo.
Vincent Mauri — a 25-year-old former college runner from Warren, Ohio — does not have a coach or a sponsor or even a long-distance pedigree. He had never run a half marathon, let alone a full one.
On a Sunday for the ages at the Glass City Marathon, he ran one of the greatest races in American history.
Mauri did not just break the GCM record by ... more than 13 minutes, or obliterate the Ohio marathon record, too. He became the fourth American ever to break 2:06.

Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.
Studies show that when local news outlets stop scrutinizing government, efficiency drops. Public payrolls bloat. Waste increases.
The cost gets passed to you—roughly $85 in added taxes per person after a county loses one of its last few papers.

@DanEggenDC Exactly. There were times when a story ran days or even weeks later in print. And we deliberately held some stories out of print to create special sections. But dipping back 7+ years? WTH
