Since the killing of George Floyd, more and more citizens across the country are coming to better understand the racism that continues to afflict society, and this groundbreaking event aims to address the disconnect between the ideals of society and the reality all too many citizens have to live every day, according to a release from Greene County Voices.
Protestors rally in the parking lot of the Bath Township building.
Dozens of people gathered at the Bath Township Trustee building in Fairborn Wednesday night to protest the controversial bio-waste operation on Herr Road owned by Central Ohio-based Renergy Inc. The protestors said they know their opposition will be a marathon, not a sprint.
Last week, Greene County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Buckwalter ruled that the Bath Township biodigester is a public utility, because it creates a small amount of green energy. That makes it exempt from local zoning rules, per Ohio state law. Township trustees said earlier this week in a Facebook post that they would filed a motion to appeal the decision.

The Supreme Court of Missouri has overturned a circuit court’s ruling in a high-profile Ozark County murder case. According to the Ozark County Times, the Supreme Court sustained a writ of mandamus on April 6, meaning Circuit Judge Calvin Holden must allow an audio recording of a conversation between Rebecca Ruud of Theodosia and her public defender, Nina Lane into evidence.
Ruud is accused of murdering her daughter, 16-year-old Savannah Leckie, and disposing her body in a burn pile in Ozark County in the summer of 2017. Ozark County Prosecuting Attorney John Garrabrant and Anthony Michael Brown of the Missouri Attorney General’s Office represent the state in Ruud’s prosecution, and they were made aware of the recording when Ruud’s husband and co-defendant in the murder case, Robert Peat Jr., approached the prosecution for a “proffer of testimony” on Jan. 24, 2020. At that time, Peat was named a “cooperating individual for the state.”
