• Clermont County man accused of stealing from New Richmond football league (wlwt.com) — New Richmond families are learning that a former treasurer of the New Richmond Junior League Football program has been indicted on a felony theft charge in Clermont County. Investigators say league leaders contacted New Richmond police after noticing alleged personal use of the organization’s debit card between July 2024 and July 2025. The exact amount missing remains unclear as the case moves forward.
• Residents push to dissolve Clermont County village, citing lack of input on areas future (local12.com) — New Richmond residents are organizing a petition drive to dissolve the village government, arguing they’ve had too little say on major projects like the U.S. 52 reconfiguration and Liberty Landing riverfront overhaul.

Organizers aim to file by July 1 to reach the November ballot.
