Independence Township Budget
Does anyone know if Independence Township adopted a budget for 2020. I received an estimated tax bill, the quarterly amount due on August 1st, but it was much higher than I expected it to be. I am wondering how they arrived at the amount if the local and county budgets haven't been passed yet, which would provide us with a tax rate.

Yellow jackets in AC, help!
We have a built in ac unit (we are renters this is not our house) and it seems as though yellow jackets have made it their home this summer. We have been increasingly seeing them go in and out but we can’t tell exactly where they are going, if they are going into the actual unit, into the insulation that surrounds it, or into the wall somehow. The unit is right by our main entrance into the house so I’m really getting paranoid about it.
Has anyone else had similar issues and if so what was the best route to... More

Lost Cat-MV
Rascal has been missing 11/2/2018. Corner of Nikitin and Baldwin in Mansfield Village. She's petite and has never been outside. She was strictly an indoor cat. She is microchipped! Without any solid sightings of her I am thinking someone took her in. I need to know what happened to her and ultimately get her home. She's an important member of my family, my best friend. My heart is missing a huge piece. My daughters are now old enough to experience the joys of having a pet and they LOVE cats and I'd really love to share that with them. I... More

Big sister gift
My sister is pregnant with her second child due in November. I'm looking to get ideas for a big sister gift for my niece who will be 10 in August. We all know a new baby is going to take a lot of time and energy from mom and I don't want my niece to "lose" her baby sibling excitement; so I thought a fun gift would help since mom and baby will be getting a ton of them. We won't know if she's having a boy or girl until just before her due date...any ideas are welcome!
