Around the Miami Valley

Tonight the City of Dayton is holding a public meeting to show new design concepts for the proposed Webster Street replacement bridge over the Mad River.  Bridge designer EMH&T will be on hand to hear suggestions and answer questions.

Assistant Director of Public Works, Steve Finke says the bridge is still structurally sound but the replacement is needed.

Last week the Dayton City Commission approved a new three-year contract with the International Association of Firefighters, Local 136 (IAFF).  The agreement includes a combination of wage freezes, modest raises, changes in sick leave, and increases in health care contributions by employees. 

Springfield -  A Clark County judge has issued a preliminary injunction against striking Union Workers from the Moyno Incorporated Company in Springfield. The workers have been on the picket line since March 8th.

Common Pleas judge Douglas Rastater handed down the injunction recently which states that members of the United Auto Workers Local 902 and their associates cannot trespass or damage Moyno property. The injunction also prohibits workers from drinking alcohol while on the picket line or harassing people that are leaving or entering the Moyno facility.
