Dear HP Neighbors, My daughter will be a junior this fall. For more than two years, she has volunteered at the Children's Institute in Squirrel Hill. She has assisted children there with varying degrees of needs between the ages of two to eleven. She has also participated in caregiver training sponsored by Magee Women's Hospital . I am confident that my daughter would enjoy doing general babysitting for ANY family as her schedule permits. She will be available June 12 through July 12 and August 5, until the Labor Day weekend. Thank you in advance for your consideration. References are happily provided upon request. Geoff

[Highland Park] Property Taxes
by Mike Barnes 13 May '06

13 May '06

I moved to Highland Park in July of 2004. Much to my dismay I was welcomed with unfair property taxes and a 3% wage tax. My house is very similar to my immediate neighbors around me yet I am paying twice as much in property taxes as my neighbors just because I bought my house after 2002. Not a good way to attract movement into the city? I have filed an appeal however according to the county my appeal needs to be based on 2002 sales? If anyone can offer any suggestions to my situation I would be very thankful I do not understand why people that moved to the City are being unfairly taxed just because they bought their homes after 2002? If the city wants to attract new residents and businesses this surely is not the way to do it. Thanks, Mike Barnes 1110 N Highland
