Dayton's News Source - TOP STORIES
Dayton, Ohio--The census will be conducted this year and some have predicted it will result in Dayton and Cincinnati being grouped into one big metropolitan area.
If that happens the two would create about the fifteenth largest metropolitan area in the United States.
Some local economic development directors say that attention and status would likely attract more federal and state dollars.
Experts say the joining of the two cities started about 30 years ago when businesses and homeowners began buying up green space between the cities along the i-75 corridor.
Now thirty years later, very little land is left to be developed.

Lawsuit: Police harassed journalists, bystanders
March 15, 2010 18:15 EDT
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A federal jury is hearing testimony about allegations that New Orleans police officers have engaged in a pattern of unlawfully arresting or harassing journalists and bystanders who tape or photograph them in public.
Seven jurors heard opening statements Monday in the trial for a lawsuit, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union, that claims police officers violated the constitutional rights of Greg Griffith and Noah Learned, who were arrested at a 2007 Carnival parade.
Griffith is a student at Kent State University in Ohio.
The lawsuit cites 11 other incidents since 2005 in which people were arrested or allegedly threatened while videotaping, photographing or observing police officers.
Some of the alleged victims, including Times-Picayune city editor Gordon Russell, are expected to testify this week.
