Rain can't dampen festivities parade in Middletown
The Middletown July 4th parade featured floats by local churches, facilities and military groups, a drill team with battery powered tools, and the Middletown High School alumni band. Grand marshal Lafayette Bronston, a Vietnam veteran and NAACP leader's husband, praised the event despite lingering rain and quipped it could have been a monsoon.

Auditors Fight Change In Tax Policy At State Budget
Auditors claim the budget changes shift burden to property tax owners and complicate their work. Dusty Rhodes, Hamilton County auditor, criticizes the veto. The plan tightens homestead exemptions by capping the income test at 30 000 dollars and ends 12 5 percent local levy cost sharing, raising voter costs on new and replacement levies.

Changes to homestead exemption shift tax relief to low income homeowners
The state budget narrows the homestead exemption to residents with gross income under 30000 annually, allowing $25000 of home value to be exempt from local taxes for those who qualify. Existing recipients keep benefits. Also, starting Nov 5, the state ends the 12.5 percent local levy rollback for new and replacement levies, while renewal levies remain untouched.
Tax plan slashes income tax and aids small business
Hackett described levies approved to begin in November as part of a new state budget that reduces income tax by 10 percent over three years and provides a 50 percent deduction for business owners on up to $250 000 of income. He urged monitoring homestead exemptions to avoid harming middle class and elderly residents.

Animal panel formed to guide tiger response plan
Local residents discuss building a county level action plan as authorities form an animal panel. Damian Oxter of Liberty Two sits on the team while Piaskowy seeks local experts such as park rangers, veterinarians, and venomous snake specialists to join in coming months. The law's requirements are seen as unclear and rural counties may default to shooting a tiger.
