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

President Donald Trump holds a campaign rally at U.S. Bank Arena, drawing supporters and protestors downtown. 

To help secure the site for its new stadium, FC Cincinnati signed a community benefits agreement with the West End Community Council. How does that agreement compare to MLS team-community agreements in other cities? 

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signs a bill to legalize hemp and CBD.

Negotiations to move a concrete manufacturing plant west of Paul Brown Stadium to make way for a music venue at The Banks are not going well based on letters traded between the parties this week.

And the Cincinnati Reds had quite the week, which included a bench-clearing brawl with the Pittsburgh Pirates and high-profile trades made just before the league deadline. They also played some baseball, beating the Pirates 4 -1 Wednesday to take the series. Where does the team go from here?
