💙💛 Did you know that today is World Day? So if you see someone rocking mismatched socks or blue & yellow, that is why!

Why March 21st?
— The date for World Down Syndrome Day signifies the uniqueness of triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down Syndrome.

Why Socks?
— A karyotype of chromosomes looks like socks and they're mismatched to celebrate everyone's differences.

Join our team by sharing your bright colored, mismatched socks like Jill, Brent, and C**t Saunders!

Franklin County homeowners need to brace for a "historic" rise in their property values this summer that will shoot the taxable value of their homes up an estimated 30% to 35%.

The Franklin County Auditor's office is well underway in the process of assigning new assessment values to properties in the county, which are used as the basis for property taxes. Given the unprecedented climb in property values since the last reappraisal, this year's changes will be dramatic, said county Auditor Michael Stinziano.
