To the Editor:† I would like to share something I learned from a frustrating five days without power.

If you are a DTE customer and have not had power for three days, you can request a $25 service credit.†
To do this you have to call DTE (1-800-477-4747) during normal business hours and speak to a customer representative. It may take a billing or two before you see it, but it'll help offset the extra cost you incurred during the power outage.

To the Editor: At the last Scio Township Board meeting, all of my colleagues who are running for re-election, began the process of raising our taxes 100 percent to fund public safety.
I voted a resounding NO! Why?
Because there is $1.274 million in the "Township Public Safety and Improvement Fund" for just such use, plus another $450,000 surplus from the audited 2007 budget.
I will not vote to raise taxes while sitting on $1,724,000.
In today's economy when foreclosures are up 300 percent, people are losing their homes and some in our township don't have two nickels to rub together, my colleagues want to take four dimes. Well, I say NO!
