The DDN publishes another article about Dayton's bad economy.

"A new report confirms what Daytonians have long known — that the recent recession was a body blow to the city — while also saying that Dayton has not recovered to pre-recession strength.
But local observers countered that the report from the Brookings Institution think tank does not take into account recent data and events — such as a Chinese auto glass manufacturer’s $360 million investment and the Proctor & Gamble distribution center that will bring a combined 2,300 new jobs."

One paragraph of truth immediately followed by the standard cheerleading. This ranking is pretty bad and rightfully so.

Apparently we have the worst schools in the state.

"Dayton and Trotwood public schools will be the first districts in Ohio this year to undergo on-site reviews because of their risk of “academic distress.”
The Ohio Department of Education’s district review team will spend next week studying the leadership, teaching, student support and more in Dayton Public Schools, and then will do the same at Trotwood-Madison the week of Feb. 23. The only other Ohio school district getting a detailed on-site review this school year is Lima."

Lovely.
