In this week’s edition, Richland Source Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell sits down with Village of Lexington Mayor Bob Jarvis.

The two discuss why Jarvis got involved in local government as a council member and then mayor of the village; the mayor’s role in a village with a full-time administrator; efforts to resolve a downtown eyesore; and how soon they expect to have a Baker’s Pizza location in Lexington where Buck’s Restaurant used to be.

Hunnell is also joined by Executive Producer Zac Hiser and videographer Grant Ritchey to talk about the news of the day, including Mansfield native Matt Failor’s continuing efforts in the 2025 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race; a proposal from an 18-year-old student to Ontario City Council regarding affordable housing; the arrest of a suspected illegal alien from Honduras in Ashland County last week; and also this week’s Stupid Criminal of the Week.
