I am writing today to announce the closure of the Michigan Messenger. After four years of operation in Michigan, the board of the American Independent News Network, has decided to shift publication of its news into a single site, The American Independent at Americanindependent.com. This is part of a shift in strategy, towards new forms [...]
An abstinence-only presentation provided to numerous school districts in Calhoun and Eaton Counties in October of this year provided false and misleading information to students about HIV, experts allege.
Two county registers of deeds filed a class action lawsuit Monday on behalf of Michigan’s 83 counties alleging that the Mortgage Electronic Registration Services owes millions of dollars in property title transfer taxes.
Despite evidence of the impact of mercury on children and public health, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette last month joined with 24 other state attorneys general in filing a lawsuit to scuttle new EPA regulations that would reduce mercury emissions from power plants.
The Detroit Free Press repored this afternoon that Kwame’s been released from jail and that he’s met with his staff.

For those of you not familiar with Michigan, hold your right hand up, palm towards your face — the governor is in the region below your thumb, above your wrist, which includes the greater Detroit Metro area.
Did Jenny have a heart-to-heart this afternoon with one person or several persons, to persuade them to move on with their lives and get Kwame to man up and exit?
A call placed to the governor’s office at 4:30 p.m. wasn’t returned before this post was drafted; we’ll check in on Monday morning. But maybe we’ll get lucky and Kwame will provide the answer to our question before then.
