A new $23 billion education budget plan in Michigan is opening the door for recent high school graduates to attend a community or tribal college, tuition-free. The "Michigan Achievement Scholarship, Community College Guarantee" was signed into law by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in July - and is expected to save over 18,000 students almost $5,000 each year.
Michelle Richard, deputy director for higher education with the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement and Potential, said this new education initiative is a real game-changer for every high school student in the state.
"So if you graduated the class of 2024, or the class of 2023, you are still eligible to enroll this fall at your local community college and attend tuition free," she said.
Students who qualify for the federal Pell Grant can get an extra $1,000 from the state to help with additional college costs like books and supplies.
Richard stressed that if a student wants to start community college this fall, they need to complete the free application for federal student aid on the MiLEAP website.
Those 21 years old or older can also take advantage of the tuition free option. Richard said $52 million is available in a program called "Michigan Reconnect," designed for older students.
"If you are in the workforce and you're thinking about making a change, Michigan Reconnect offers a tuition free pathway to earn that skills certificate or degree at your local community college - and same application," she added.
The state of Michigan has also established the "Sixty by 30 Goal" aiming for at least 60% of Michiganders to obtain a degree or skill certificate by 2030.

Two labor unions are fighting for their first collective bargaining agreements with the University of Michigan's Michigan Medicine.
Workers held an informational picket outside University Hospital last week, to protest what they say is U of M's ongoing refusal to agree to what they call fair contracts that would address issues of understaffing and low pay.
United Michigan Medicine Allied Professionals, and Service Employees International Union, represent about seven thousand workers in the state.
Kate Robbins is a physical therapist and the treasurer of United Michigan Medicine Allied Professionals local.
"When COVID hit, a lot of people retired from medicine," said Robbins. "And so, we are asked to do more with less, and it's starting to really burn out all of the employees in the hospital."
University of Michigan Health responded in a statement saying, in part, they "look forward to continuing collaborative discussions with union members and employee groups working in a shared goal to provide the best care possible for their patients."
Over the past 18 months, the two unions have emerged to represent diverse Michigan Medicine workers - including rehab, behavioral health, respiratory therapists, and more.
Robbins stressed that despite many members living just above the poverty line, their struggle is not only for fair wages and better staffing, but also for the well-being of the community.
"Our purpose is to take care of people," said Robbins. "And if we can't take care of people and we can't take care of ourselves, then it does a disservice to everybody who's involved in medicine and involved in the U of M community."
Robbins said she's hopeful that hospital management will respond to the informational picket by accelerating the pace of negotiations and finding more common ground.
Their aim is to have the contract dispute resolved by early this fall.

DETROIT (CCN) — The Detroit Free Press reported today (Friday, July 12, 2024) that UAW President Shawn Fain has been accused of steering money to benefit his fiancee and her sister.
A court filing in federal court on Wednesday was first reported by the Detroit News. It was a motion to demand that UAW leadership release various documents related to an investigation by court-appointed monitor Neil Barofsky. He was assigned by the government after a scandal resulted in 15 previous UAW leaders going to prison for stealing money of UAW members.
Media reports had previously reported that Barofsky was looking into allegations that a vice president at the international office in Detroit had misused funds and that a regional director had embezzled union funds.
The latest report by the Free Press today says Fain ordered a vice president to take actions that would benefit his fiancée and her sister, among other reasons, according to the court filing. Barofsky wants the court to confirm his authority to get access to records immediately and to compel UAW leadership to produce documents he wants immediately.
Fain has so far made no comment to the media.

WARREN (CCN) — The lead singer of the Four Tops has filed a lawsuit over alleged racial profiling by a Warren hospital, according to a report in today's (July 1, 2024) Macomb Daily.
Alexander Morris sued Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital on 12 Mile Road in U.S. District Court in Detroit over an April 7, 2023 incident where he alleges they put him in a straight jacket and treated him as a psychiatric patient due to his race The Four Tops singing star says he went to the emergency room for chest pain and difficulty breathing.
Morris contends in his civil complaint that when he went into the hospital that he “informed a nurse and a security guard that he was a member of the famous Motown group the Four Tops, and that he had current security concerns due to stalkers and fans.” He claims in the lawsuit that hospital staff "didn't believe him" and "delayed treatment" while "treating him as a psychiatric patient."
Morris, 63, now lives in nearby Southfield.
Morris replaced lead singer Harold “Spike” Bonhart in early 2019. He was a minister with a powerful voice who ran J. Alexander Morris Ministries in Los Angeles. Bonhart had joined the Four Tops in 2011 — replacing long-time member and former Temptations singer Theo Peoples. That left only Abdul "Duke" Fair as a remaining founding member. Also in the group now are Roquel Payton (son of original member Lawrence Payton) and Ronnie McNeir.
The Four Tops are one of the most famous Motown groups to come out of Detroit. They powered Motown to international fame during the 1960's.

LANSING (CCN) — The Michigan Public Service Commission acted Tuesday (July 23, 2024) to approve settlement agreements raising rates on natural gas customers of Consumers Energy Co. and electric customers of Alpena Power Co.
The Commission approved the Consumers Energy settlement agreement that authorizes the utility to raise its natural gas distribution rates by about $35 million, effective Oct. 1.
The amount approved is a nearly 75% reduction from the $136 million Consumers initially requested. Under the settlement agreement, Consumers was granted a rate of return on common equity of 9.9% and a common equity ratio of 50%. The company had sought a return on common equity of 10.25% and a 51.5% common equity ratio.
The settlement agreement also provides guidance in several areas, including the utility’s sale this year of its unregulated home energy products program to a third-party buyer for an upfront gain of about $110 million. Consumers will share all of the upfront gain with customers; $27.5 million will be used to offset the company’s approved revenue deficiency, and $82.5 million will be credited to customers over a three-year period.
A typical customer using 100 ccf of natural gas per month will see an increase of $1.16, or 1.15%, on their monthly bill prior to the application of the home products sale credit to their bill. After application of the credit, a typical customer using 100 ccf a month will see a decrease of $0.27, or 0.27%, on their monthly bill.
Consumers is also authorized to spend $215.3 million for the year ending Sept. 30, 2025, on its Enhanced Infrastructure Replacement Program (EIRP), aimed at replacing the company’s highest risk pipe for safety, reliability, and efficiency. Consumers will continue to file annual EIRP planning and performance reports and hold an annual technical conference in January for interested parties that will provide the engineering basis and support for the plastic and steel pipe projects selected in the EIRP planning report.
Intervenors in the case were the Michigan Department of Attorney General; Association of Businesses Advocating Tariff Equity; Retail Energy Supply Association; Lansing Board of Water & Light; Michigan State University; Citizens Utility Board of Michigan, and Energy Michigan. MPSC Staff also participated. All parties signed the settlement.
Attorney General Dana Nessel issued astatement, saying, “Michigan consumers deserve reliable utility services at fair prices. That's why my department scrutinizes every proposed rate hike by utilities. Today's decision by the Commission to approve the settlement reducing Consumers Energy's proposed increase ensures money stays in the pockets of their customers instead of needlessly increasing the company’s bottom line. We will continue to advocate for affordable and dependable service for residents across our state.”
The Commission last approved a natural gas rate increase for Consumers Energy in August 2023 for about $95 million.
Separately, an amended settlement agreement was signed that permits Alpena Power Co. to implement a $2.5 million rate increase with the utility agreeing not to seek to raise rates again before 2026. The settlement agreement, resolving all matters in the case, represents a nearly 37% decrease from the $3,959,588 Alpena Power initially requested to fund increased operational expenses including labor, equipment and material costs, investment in its utility plant, as well as costs for vegetation management and other expenses.

LANSING (CCN) — Two Lansing police officesr have been cleared of any wrongdoing in the fatal December 2023 shooting that killed a citizen when responding to a 911 call.
The investigation was announced by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Tuesday (July 16, 2024).
A.G. Nessel said her office will not bring charges after an investigation by Michigan State Police into the incident that resulted in the death of Lansing's Stephen Luis Romero, 33. Nessel said the two Lansing officers acted in self defense when firing shots at Romero.
It's the policy of the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office to request the Department of Attorney General to review all fatal shootings by officers in Ingham County for the possibility of misconduct or criminal wrongdoing.
On the night of December 1st, 2023, Lansing police were called to respond to a domestic violence incident involving a fired gun west of Bancroft Park in Lansing, between Lake Lansing Road and East César E. Chávez Avenue. The first of several 911 calls from the neighborhood came from Mr. Romero’s wife, the victim, who informed dispatchers her husband was drunk, he had struck her, he had brandished his pistol at her, and that she was alone in a car in the driveway of their home. Two officers from the Lansing Police Department arrived at the residence and found Mr. Romero standing next to the open driver’s door of the car in the driveway, and instructed him to display his hands and get on the ground. He displayed his hands and knelt in the driveway.
The officers again instructed Mr. Romero to get on the ground, with his face down. Mr. Romero did not, and instead lifted his shirt to reveal a pistol in his waistband. Following further urgent instruction from the officers to get on the ground in a face down position, Mr. Romero instead reached for and grabbed the pistol in his waistband and one officer opened fire.
After being struck and lowering himself to the ground, Mr. Romero again reached for the pistol, grabbed it, and this time removed it from his waistband. Both officers fired several shots.
Life-saving measures were attempted on scene by both police and paramedics, though Mr. Romero was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital shortly after arriving via ambulance, in the early minutes after midnight on December 2.
The Department of Attorney General review concluded the officers only fired upon Mr. Romero in moments when his hand was physically on his pistol.
Attorneys at the Department of Attorney General reviewed written reports from Lansing Police Department officers present at the scene, Lansing Police Department reports, body worn camera footage from the scene, a Michigan State Police Incident Report, Mr. Romero’s autopsy report, the Lansing Police Department’s 'response to resistance’ policy, relevant 911 calls including one from Mr. Romero’s wife, and other material.
The legal issue in this case was whether the Lansing Police officers acted in a legal manner during their interaction with Mr. Romero when they used deadly force by discharging their weapons. A.G. Nessel said law enforcement officers have the lawful authority to use force to protect the public welfare, but a careful balance of all human interests is required. An officer’s decision about the level of force necessary to control an individual will be based on the officer’s perception of the threat and the subject’s apparent ability to carry out that threat.
A.G. Nessel concluded that under all the facts and circumstances known to the officers on this date, they were justified in their use of deadly force in self-defense and in defense of others. Law enforcement officers have the same privilege of self-defense as anyone else, she said.
Shooting a gun in self-defense requires an honest and reasonable belief that an officer is in danger of being killed or seriously injured. If that person’s belief was honest and reasonable, A.G. Nessel said they can act immediately to defend themselves. The act is justified where the person (1) was not the aggressor, (2) acts under an honest and reasonable belief that they are in danger of death or great bodily harm, (3) retreats from the scene if possible and (4) the only recourse lay in repelling the attack by the use of deadly force.
MELVINDALE (CCN) — The manhunt for a suspect in the Sunday morning (July 21, 2024) murder of a Melvindale police officer is over. Michael Lopez, 44, was taken into custody Monday night just before 6:30 pm in nearby Detroit.

MELVINDALE (CCN) — The manhunt for a suspect in the Sunday morning (July 21, 2024) murder of a Melvindale police officer is over. Michael Lopez, 44, was taken into custody Monday night just before 6:30 pm in nearby Detroit.
A swarm of officers surrounded Lopez who had been spotted in the southwest area of the city after Detroit media reports used his name as a suspect police were hunting for around Metro Detroit.
Video of the arrest showed his hands were handcuffed behind his back and he was led into a police car after a day and a half manhunt that included a joint effort by the Michigan State Police, Wayne County Sherriff's Department and the City of Detroit Police Department.
The arrest took place in the 3400 block of Gilbert Street near Livernois in the City of Detroit
Witnesses told Melvindale police that Lopez was the shooter after a struggle with 26-year-old officer Mohamed Said. They say Lopez then fled on a bicycle.
Said had been dispatched to the car wash in the 17000 block of Clarann Street in Melvindale after a call about a situation there.
The Melvindale officer is the fourth officer in Michigan killed in the line of duty this year.
State Rep. Jaime Greene issued a statement, saying, “I am heartbroken and outraged by the senseless shooting of officer Mohamed Said. As we mourn the loss of Officer Said, along with Hillsdale County Deputy William Butler Jr. and Oakland County Sheriff’s Detective Brad Reckling, we must remember the immense sacrifices these brave individuals made to protect our communities. My deepest sympathies go out to the families, friends, and colleagues of these fallen heroes. Their dedication to serving and protecting us is a debt we can never fully repay. We owe our safety and freedom to officers like these who put their lives on the line every single day."
Rep. Greene added that it was “infuriating to witness the rise of anti-police rhetoric that has swept across our nation in recent years."
He added: "This dangerous narrative puts our officers in harm’s way and risks the safety of our communities. Enough is enough. We must put an end to this harmful rhetoric and instead uplift and support our law enforcement officers. We must back up our officers by enforcing our laws and holding criminals accountable, instead of slapping them on the wrist and letting them go. A well-supported and well-funded police department is essential for our safety and freedom. I stand firmly with our officers and will tirelessly work to ensure they have the resources they need and the respect they deserve.”
The Detroit News reported Tuesday evening that Lopez had been released from parole about two months ago. Court records show that Lopez served about 12 years in prison with the Michigan Department of Corrections after sentenced to a term of 10 1/2 years to 30 years for a 2011 carjacking and resisting, obstructing or assaulting a police officer case in Detroit. A second carjacking case from two days prior in September 2011 and a felony for carrying a concealed weapon charge were dismissed when he pleaded guilty.

WOODHAVEN (CCN) — A long-time attorney for embattled Detroit businessman Bob Carmack tells The Daily Gazette that the Detroit Free Press called about a social media post saying Carmack has passed away.
Attorney Steve Haney represented Carmack in high profile cases that included a four-felony charge by the City of Detroit and a drunken driving charge pursued by the state's Attorney General's office. He was never convicted.
Carmack's friend, Michelle Spicer, made the social media post.
She wrote: "Fly high my friend Robert Carmack. You surely will be missed by many ... one day the injustice that you endured will rectify. Karma will one day be served. Rest in peace and Rest in Power. You gave it your all and it was not in vain. It's a shame how powerful the corrupt lying politicians truly are. God has you now."
Carmack was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. It spread to his spine last fall.
He turned 65 in May and Spicer said Carmack was placed in hospice on Monday.
"I saw him then. Aside from not looking himself, he was good. No pain, same old feisty Bobby, then it was downhill from there. He passed with the four kids by his side — Robert, Kate, Sophia and Joe. God rest his soul."
Carmack is survived by six children and countless friends who will miss his humor, bigger than life personality and generosity.
Spicer was a long-time employee at Carmack's many businesses. She recalled that she began at Carmack's Collision Shop on Michigan Avenue in Downtown Detroit. "I originally started there at the collision shop with his old man," she recalled. "I was put there (later when returning to work there) to babysit Bobby. Oh my God, there is so much history."
Carmack's wishes were to have no funeral service but to be cremated and have his ashes scattered in Las Vegas where his oldest daughter lives.
A doctor gave him a letter recommending hospice car about five months ago — a few weeks before an operation at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor allowed him to walk again. He had been confined then to a wheelchair for more than a month after a large tumor was discovered on his spine.
"It's a miracle," he proclaimed after walking out of the hospital in Ann Arbor. "They told me in Detroit that I would never walk again — that there was absolutely no hope. God is good."
Haney and other friends say they had not heard from Carmack in at least six weeks after almost daily contact while he was going through the earlier stages of his health battle.
Spicer said she learned that he had become unable to communicate nearly two months ago and went back to UM Hospital where he remained until going to a hospice facility on Monday.

LANSING (CCN) — Two bills to expand Michigan's consumer protection laws passed the State House of Representatives Monday (July 1, 2024) before legislators took their summer break.
The bills now move over to the State Senate when lawmakers return from vacation on July 30.
The pair of laws passed by the House, dubbed as the "Taylor Swift" bills, are to crack down on online ticket purchases by bots .
The bills passed with bipartisan support.
Lawmakers dubbed the legislation as the "Taylor Swift" bills after automated bots purchased tickets to the famous pop star's Eras Tour to drive up the price to see her for fans who were then forced to buy from the ticket holders.
If the State Senate also passes the bills and they are then signed into law by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the state's Attorney General office would be empowered to investigate any future violations of the new law. The measures will ban anyone from trying to get around measures to limit ticket purchases.
