Episode 26 of Let's Talk Clermont. We start with a quick look at news from around the county. Clermont Sun’s 2025–26 resource guide, a mystery odor in New Richmond, a Pierce Township BZA notice (Oct 15), and a major Batavia Township hearing (Oct 9) to rezone ~425 acres near Lexington Run. Then we sit down with John Harper, a lifelong Batavia resident, pharmacy lead tech, and Air Force vet running for township trustee. Harper talks slow-growth instincts, recording and publishing meetings, and annexation/CRA tensions with the Village. We also touch family, faith, and why “property rights” and “pacing growth” don’t have to be opposites. As always, we close out with some county events.
