CINCINNATI â Sarah Hess is a flow arts performer at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. Like thousands in the Tri-State area, she filed for unemployment last year.
WCPO first talked to Hess in February, when her Ohio unemployment benefits stopped coming after a false report of fraud. No, there s no fraud, she said. All the shows are canceled.
After Courtney Francisco s story and work with the state unemployment office, Hess case was cleared up and the checks continued.

There are finance and tax tools that can be used to promote a more sustainable future for cities.
United States city budgets are tighter than ever due to COVID-19. The American Rescue Plan Act, recently passed by Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden, will provide some relief in the near term, while the proposed American Jobs Plan offers a tantalizing vision of federal infrastructure investments that could drive local climate action and equity nationwide.
Yet there remains an immutable reality that U.S. cities without dedicated revenue streams to fund climate change mitigation, resilience and environmental justice will continue to face fiscal constraints. Simply put, these social and environmental causes are at risk of being deprioritized when they stand side-by-side with other essential services.

The Cincinnati Art Museum is iconic. In addition to housing world-renowned works of art and hosting internationally recognized artists, the museum is also incredibly accessible and family friendly. Last spring, the Cincinnati Art Museum took its commitment to community engagement to the next level with the Art Climb.
The Art Climb is a stunning work of art that marries form and function through a nine-story staircase. It’s 164 carefully laid steps that literally link the Cincinnati Art Museum to the community.

The Art Climb includes a staircase from the sidewalk at the intersection of Eden Park Drive and Gilbert Avenue and leading all the way up to the front museum entrance. This project connects the Cincinnati Art Museum to its neighbors in a dramatic and meaningful way. (A Cincinnati Metro bus stop is located at the bottom of the staircase.)
