Saline Township resident Edith Andersen has just released Rebuilding Nature: Yard by Yard, a friendly, practical guide to transforming lawns into thriving, wildlife-friendly gardens. In an era of hotter summers, heavier rains, and changing seasons, our yards can be more than just pretty—they can be part of the climate solution. The book offers down-to-earth steps for creating habitat, conserving water, and building resilience right where we live. It’s about neighbors working together to make our communities greener and more alive again—yards that hum with bees, dance with butterflies, and welcome back the wildlife we’ve missed.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
Overcast, with a high of 81 and low of 60 degrees. Overcast during the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, overcast for the evening,
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
