“We’ve both just been incensed over the last week of what has happened to this town nationally and even locally,” Teager stated.

1000’s of Haitian immigrants have settled in recent times within the predominantly white, blue-collar metropolis of about 60,000, about 45 miles (70 kilometers) from the state capital of Columbus, the place they’ve discovered work in factories and warehouses that had been struggling to fill job openings. The sudden inflow has strained colleges, well being care amenities, and metropolis companies and pushed up the price of housing.

DeWine acknowledged that Springfield has challenges however stated that it’s a “city that frankly, is on the move. If you look where Springfield was 15 years ago, 10 years ago, even five years ago, we’re moving.”
