Gov. Rick Snyder on Wednesday signed legislation officially outlawing police having sex with prostitutes on duty by removing an exemption that previously blocked their prosecution. "Every day the brave men and women in Michigan's law enforcement community work tirelessly to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of all Michiganders," Snyder said. "These bills help ensure the ongoing integrity and accountability of our law enforcement system by clarifying what actions officers are exempt from while performing their official duties."

When Anthony Sevy got a parking ticket in Royal Oak, he wasn't pleased. When he went to pay his ticket with pennies, he was turned away, choked, and then defecated himself - his attorney claims.

Sevy went to pay his $10 parking ticket in Royal Oak's 44th District Court in February, but was told he'd have a $1.75 surcharge on his credit card. He wasn't happy and left.

Rachel Piland, 30, and Joshua Piland, 36, are charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of their infant, Abigail, in February, the Lansing State Journal reported.

Seventy-one water systems in Michigan now have higher lead levels than the city of Flint, results of the most recent federally-required testing shows. Water sampling in Flint from January through June showed the city's 90th percentile for lead was at 7 parts per billion, far better than the last six months of 2016, but still higher than 92.6 percent of the 1,333 water systems regulated by the state Department of Environmental Quality.

Last week we noted how Freshman Michigan Representative Michele Hoitenga has been pushing a broadband competition-killing bill she clearly neither wrote nor understands. The industry-backed bill, HB 5009 (pdf), would ban Michigan towns and cities from using taxpayer funds to build or operate community broadband networks, and would hamstring these communities' abilities to strike public/private partnerships. The bill is just the latest example of broadband industry protectionist laws ISPs ghost write, then shovel unobstructed through the corrupt state legislative process.

A drone sneaked contraband into a Michigan prison in May, but the breach went undetected for nearly two months, according to State Police documents The Detroit News obtained through an open records request. Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Chris Gautz said Friday that an after-the-fact review of video surveillance discovered that prisoners at Ionia’s Richard A.

It is the first time that law enforcement and state prison officials have confirmed a successful drone delivery of contraband to Michigan inmates.

Gina Luster bathed her child in lukewarm bottled water, emptied bottle by bottle into the tub, for months. It became a game for her seven-year-old daughter. Pop the top off a bottle, and pour it into the tub. It takes about 30 minutes for a child to fill a tub this way. Pop the top, pour it in; pop the top, pour it in. Maybe less if you can get gallon jugs.
