Re: Worn becomes Warren again after electing first female mayor!

Prediction: Hizzoner (Fouts) files to run for Stone's vacant State House seat. My prediction was almost accurate! Fouts indeed is running for the State House, albeit in a different district than the one I thought: https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/19/ex-warren-mayor-jim-fo...

Oakland County GOP is in disarray (what else is new?)

No one seems to know who their candidate is for the Oakland County Executive race now that Brooks' daughter, Mary, has dropped out of the race.

Re: The MEDC needs to be disbanded

You are certainly correct that a risk exists that the environmental consultants will miss issues (recognized environmental conditions) during phase I and phase II assessments that could bite a property owner in the ass later. I suspect the number of borings performed and soil samples collected on a ...

Re: The MEDC needs to be disbanded

A properly prepared Baseline Environmental Assessment could shield a successor owner from liability associated with preexisting environmental hazards. There are shopping centers, ski hills and even subdivisions built on former landfill sites. I believe the LG Chem battery plant in Holland was built ...

You are absolutely right; I forgot that there was a story from Bill Freeman. I remember the "Freeman File" on News 8 in the late 80s.

Re: Tesla strikes again

I completely agree Ford is a total disaster right now. No argument from me.

The Bronco is truly awful (and I'm no fan of its little sibling, the Bronco Sport, either).

Re: Tesla strikes again

It's nice to see Elon not blame the consumer for once for his product's defects.

Tesla shares have lost 40 percent of their value year to date.

Re: Yammies aren't built so well these days...

They did the right thing by replacing your A6A, since after all your full warranty period was still active. That's an expensive unit.

I just wish their build quality was as good as it used to be, especially with regard to their entry level receivers.

Unfortunately, the meth head hillbillies won't suddenly change their behavior or lifestyle simply because a new manufacturing plant opens, sad to say.

Re: The MEDC needs to be disbanded

No, you don't have to "actually deliver." Also, in some cases, economics are tilted absurdly in favor of the grant / subsidy recipient. That's why the MEDC process is a joke. The press releases to which you linked are misleading. Ford's "investment" in Marshall is conditioned upon receiving over a b...

Re: The MEDC needs to be disbanded

Nothing wrong w/ the organization? How the hell was the $20 million in question ever approved?

To which battery plants are you referring? Marshall and Big Rapids? I wrote here months ago regarding the economic absurdity of the subsidies the Marshall plant was seeking.

The MEDC needs to be disbanded

This highly corrupt organization has been giving sweetheart deals, at times under false pretense, to politically connected individuals for years. The majority of its board members are handpicked by the Governor. Gee - what a shock that an organization run by big Whitmer donor, Fay Beydoun, received ...

Re: March PPM's

WJLB simply does a better job serving the hip-hop and R&B audience than 107.5. 107.5 is basically a half-assed version of WJLB. No one listens to The Morning Hustle locally (a syndicated morning show from Urban One), and 107.5 in evenings airs a syndicated show from Atlanta. 107.5 seems to play a lo...

RFK, Jr. has something in common with Keith Butkovich!

RFK, Jr. will appear on statewide Michigan ballots as a Natural Law Party nominee. Butkovich in 2018 (I think?) was their gubernatorial nominee in Michigan. RFK, Jr. will appear as their 2024 U.S. Presidential nominee. LMAO https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/18/robert-f-kenn...
