Lake of the Ozarks Daily Digest — Thursday, March 26, 2026
Ty's Take
The formal censure of Camden County Commissioner Steve Dougan by the Republican Central Committee is the kind of political drama that rarely stays contained—when your own party turns on you publicly, there's usually more to the story than what's on the surface. Meanwhile, Richard Ross throwing his hat in the ring for Osage Beach mayor means we've got municipal politics heating up just as the weather is, with record temps in the 90s expected Thursday. The Crosby Enterprises bankruptcy filing caught my eye too—anytime a local business group has to restructure through Chapter 11, it's worth watching how that ripples through our economy, especially during what should be peak season at the Lake.
