Local Haitian community center to host legal aid for those facing deportation
A help center is working to guide Haitian migrants facing uncertain futures. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] This comes as around 15,000 Haitians who live and work in Springfield must leave by Aug. 3. 'What I don't understand is the lack of empathy or sympathy towards the folks from Haiti or towards the immigrant community in general,' Viles Dorsainvil, executive director of Haitian Community Help and Support Center, said. Dorsainvil said he wants to guide the Springfield migrant community through this time, where their legal protections are coming to an end in the United States. TRENDING STORIES: Deputies: Wood thrown at officers in high-speed chase; ends in wrong-way crash on I-75 Injuries reported after car slams into Miami County home Child, adult dead after being pulled from SUV that went into pond 'We've been receiving some phone calls, so many phone calls, and we have decided to have a legal clinic tomorrow, Saturday, where some of them will have time to come and ask questions to an immigration attorney,' Dorsainvil said. He said migrants are worried about their livelihood in Springfield. Gov. Mike DeWine and Springfield city leaders said fewer Haitians can impact the city's economy. 'Their presence here in the community helps the workforce to keep moving forward. So I think there will be an economic impact on the community if it happens that they are in removal proceedings or they are deporting them,' Dorsainvil said. Along with fewer legal protections, Haitian nationals are now banned from entering the U.S. 'They put Haiti on that list because of the insecurity, and even the US embassy cannot operate properly in Haiti,' Dorsainvil said. The center is inviting anyone with questions to their legal aid event on Saturday. There will be more events like that leading up to Aug. 3. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Sandy Springs homeowners may see lower water bills
Sandy Springs homeowners may soon pay less on their water bills. A lawsuit ruling found the city is paying too much for the water it gets from Atlanta. The City of Atlanta plans to appeal the decision. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] The water wars between Atlanta and Sandy Springs started before the north Fulton city formed 20 years ago. Each water customer in Sandy Springs pays extra each month to Atlanta, which supplies the water. But a judge serving as a 'special masters' ruled that the surcharge is arbitrary and state law says Atlanta can only charge what it costs to treat and deliver that water. 'Hopefully that will lead to some type of agreement between Atlanta and Sandy Springs," Mayor Rusty Paul told Channel 2 Action News. TRENDING STORIES: Lyft driver taken hostage in lobby of Dawson County Sheriff's Office, officials say Dashcam video shows suspect lead GA deputies on 115 mph chase 'That's problematic:' Woman accused of taking money from homeowners instead of cutting down trees Paul said that should mean a significant reduction in water rates: more than 20%. 'The judge decided that yes, it is cheaper to serve Sandy Springs then it is to parts of the city of Atlanta, because we're closer to the water source,' the mayor said. He also hopes any agreement will include the needed maintenance and upgrades to the water system. Paul says there have been no improvements in Sandy Springs since it became a city. The City of Atlanta plans to fight the judge's decision. 'The city will file an objection to the recommendation of the special master and explore all additional legal options up to and including an appeal when appropriate," a spokesperson told Channel 2 Action News.

New Texas tax relief bills could mean savings if voters approve in November
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Property tax relief could be on the way for some homeowners. Senate Bill 4 and Senate Bill 32, passed by Texas lawmakers, are designed to cut costs for homeowners across the state. Tyler Johnson is the Tom Green County Chief Appraiser. 'Senate Bill 4 is to increase the homestead exemption that a person qualifies for a property they own and occupy. It increases the school exemption of their tax bill…from $100,000 to $140,000. On top of that, if you have a disabled person or someone over 65 exemption in prior years has been $10,000 and it will be increased to $60,000,' Johnson said. The Texas Homestead Exemption is a tax break that reduces how much of your home's value is taxed. For many, that could mean several hundred dollars in savings a year. Recently, San Angelo voters approved a $397 million bond for San Angelo ISD, which increases the school district's tax rate for those with homes in the district. 'The entities that had bonds passed…those bonds could effect the amount of tax savings you see from the homestead exemption…so we won't know specifically how much the bon effects whatever tax savings come from the new legislation…but the legislation will help the overall increase a person would feel from the bonds that were passed,' Johnson said. Before any of this can happen, voters in Tom Green County and across the state would need to approve a constitutional amendment in November. The amendment would officially change the Texas Constitution to allow these exemptions to take effect. If passed, the changes would apply to this tax year, which means you could see it reflected in your 2025 property tax bill. 'Once it becomes law, the district will implement the new district amount. If you already qualify for a resident homestead, we will update our system to reflect the new exemption starting in September with the idea that if it passes, it will already be associated with the tax bill you receive for your property after Oct. 1st,' Johnson said.
