We look at the news affecting Greater Cincinnati and the Tri-state.

Ohio’s Congressional map is likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court, after a panel of federal judges ruled it's unconstitutionally gerrymandered to favor one political party over the other. The Ohio legislature considers an abortion bill more restrictive than the "Heartbeat Bill" Governor Mike DeWine signed just last month.

The shut-down General Motors' plant in Lordstown, Ohio, could be the site of an electric-powered vehicle manufacturer if a Cincinnati-area businessman reaches a deal to purchase the facility.

Cincinnati City Manager Patrick Duhaney sends his budget proposal for next fiscal year to Mayor John Cranley.

And a new music venue is set to lead-off development of the Ovation project along the Ohio River in Newport.
