Cheap Township Coins The Hancock County commissioners have received a request to separate McComb from Pleasant Township.Properties have been annexed to the village in the past but those properties continue to pay real estate taxes to the township. The goal of the request is to make the township lines identical to the village limits.Clerk Sara Mutchler said Tuesday the commissioners’ office is looking into the request and no action is necessary now.

In a letter to the commissioners signed by McComb Mayor Charles Latta and members of Village Council the elected officials said they have determined that “it is in the best interests of the residents of the village” if the village limits and the township lines do not overlap.There are three primary reasons for the request according to the letter:

“Our governments must adapt to changing conditions in order to effectively serve our constituents and to wisely expend the tax dollars contributed by the individuals and institutions of the community.” Overlapping boundaries cause “an overlapping governmental structure that historically does not allow for efficient use of time or resources thus wasting taxpayers’ money.”Township Coins For Sale“Historically it has been shown that Pleasant Township trustees take action to represent the concerns of rural residents while the village makes decisions addressing the needs of those in the village.
