Officials in Troy are celebrating the news that the community is selected as a site for one of three small-town music festivals staged in the U.S. by the popular British band Mumford & Sons.

The expected crowd could double the population in the city of 25,000 when it hosts one of the band's Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers in late August.  It's estimated that it could be an economic impact of $12.6 million for the region.

The United States Postal Service announced  Wednesday it will suspend mail delivery on Saturdays. WYSO’s Emily McCord reports the decision is expected to save 2 billion dollars a year.

Local officials are breathing a sigh of relief today after Governor Kasich released his budget proposal for the next two years. As Emily McCord reports, cities aren’t facing the kind of cuts they did in the past, and may even see some modest growth.

Governor Kasich has released his long awaited plan for funding Ohio’s schools. Kettering Republican Senator Peggy Lehner is the Chair of the Senate Education Committee. She joins McCord to discuss the impact of the Governor's education proposal.

Governor Kasich is set to reveal his plans to overhaul school funding in the state.  There’s very little known about details but as Emily McCord reports for WYSO, it’s likely that digital education will be component.
