Stars, strikes & free admission? Your weekend's already planned 🎟️
Good morning, Ross County. All 14 cases before the Grand Jury last Friday came back as true bills — a clean sweep that signals prosecutors mean business and public safety is very much a priority around here. On a more wallet-friendly note, Treasurer David Jeffers just handed property owners an extra 28 days to settle second-half taxes, pushing the deadline to August 21. Meanwhile, Bridge Street construction keeps humming along, so smoother roads are coming whether you're patient or not.
Nationally, gas prices, healthcare costs, and a major media breakup are all stirring the pot — plenty to chew on inside. Locally, the weekend calendar is stacked with Tecumseh! drama under the stars and Digital Navigator tech help if your Wi-Fi situation needs a hero. Fresh listings are inside too.
