Secret Service Raises Ohio River Level for JD Vance's Family Kayak Trip
The Secret Service raised the water level of Ohio's Little Miami River to facilitate Vice President JD Vance's kayaking trip for his birthday, prompting criticism over government spending and special treatment, though the Vice President was unaware of the increase. The move was justified by the Corps of Engineers as a safety measure, and similar instances of special accommodations for political figures have occurred in the past.
