“From talking to the employers this morning, many of them said that particularly after the pandemic, during the pandemic, but then when people, things were opening back up, they had a real need for employees. We had one company that told me, you know, I don’t think we would even be here if it wasn’t for the Haitian employees. We had others that talked about positions that they simply could, could not fill.”

STORYLINE:
Ohio state police will help protect schools in a city that has endured dozens of violent threats in the wake of a national political furor over Haitian migrants.
That’s according to the governor, who appeared in Springfield on Monday. Republican Gov. Mike DeWine says dozens of members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol will be stationed in city schools starting Tuesday, sweeping each building every morning before the arrival of faculty or students.
Springfield City Hall, several schools, and state motor vehicle offices in Springfield were forced to evacuate last week after receiving bomb threats.
DeWine says at least 33 separate bomb threats were made in recent days, all of them hoaxes.
Bill Teager and Paul Gomia drove to Springfield from Middletown, Ohio, Monday, to visit the Haitian-owned Rose Goute Creole Restaurant in town and to see if they could offer any support to folks living in town.
Springfield officials, meanwhile, announced that a two-day CultureFest starting Sept. 27 is being canceled because of threats and safety concerns.
