LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — A group of Michigan lawmakers is calling for “justice” and “accountability” for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse connected to Interlochen Center for the Arts.

State Rep. Penelope Tsernoglou says House Resolution 284 would create a committee to examine Interlochen and its relationship with Epstein.

Lawmakers say Epstein attended Interlochen in 1967 and returned in 1990, donating nearly half a million dollars. They say that money went toward a cabin named after him, and that Epstein stayed on campus two weeks a year for several years.

A real estate company has withdrawn its application for a potential data center in Washington Township, but indicated that it may return with another proposal in the future.

Prologis, a San Francisco-based real estate company, proposed developing a technical campus on 312 acres south of 32 Mile Road last year. Washington Township Supervisor Sam Previti posted on Facebook on Tuesday that the company has now withdrawn its rezoning application, and the matter will be removed from the township's June 11 planning commission agenda.

Megan went missing in the summer of 2024. She was last seen in Coldwater. She's been out of contact with her family, and they are concerned for her well-being.

Does anyone have any experience with spartan solar/light reach? They seem to good to be true. Im paying ~$244 per month in electric and they said they could put panels on my house and it starts at $195 a month. It increases by 2.99% each year and is garenteed to provide a certain amount of electricity per year that decreases over time as the panels degrade.

If i use more electricity I pay DTE the excess and if i use less DTE buys the electricity and credits me.

Its a 25 year ppe but i can buy the system at market price after 5 years.

Please let me hear your thoughts.

I’m consolidating research and opinions to present to my county commissioners, as well as, to the senator and my congressman regarding the Flock cameras and their, seemingly concerning, connection to the influx of forced approvals to the construction of excessively more data centers in Michigan.

What are your two cents regarding the flock cameras? Have they been a net positive? Have you had negative experiences with how law enforcement agencies utilized it? Or what are your generalized concerns about them and how they were voted on?

Hello. I’m looking to move to Michigan in the next few years to see family but I’m freakishly scared of tornados ever since I was 6. I heard Michigan gets 10+ a year and was wondering where I can live in Michigan that has a Lower crime rate but also is a bit safer from tornados.

My fiancée and I have been touring venues in Wayne, Oakland, and Washtenaw... and we aren't falling in love with anything. Everything I'm finding on websites like the knot and zola feel like they're for people who aren't us.

What we DON'T want: Barns, Golf Courses, outdoor only/tent venues or churches still in operation as churches. (Buildings that used to be churches that are now something else are OK). We are not against hotels, but most event spaces in hotels are not it for us. We toured Royal Park and their atrium was just too small. We've also ruled out Rust Belt Market, to everyone's surprise. Their timeline rules don't work for us.

What we've liked so far: Collins Clocktower in Chelsea, currently likely our top contender. Planterra in West Bloomfield is amazing but their minimum is 75 guests and we'll realistically probably only have around 60. I like the Crofoot but my fiancée doesn't.

Upcoming tours: The DIA, but we might run into the same problem we had with Planterra.

Non-negotiables: Must be queer friendly. This is a lesbian wedding. Must be in Michigan, preferably within an hour of DTW or GRR for our guests flying in from out of state.

A little about us: We are both nerdy and alternative. We love punk, metal, shoegaze, goth, etc. We play video games, board games, TCGs and TTRPGs and like scifi and fantasy and anime. Neither of us particularly care about wedding traditions but we're having a wedding simply because it's the only way to get all our friends from out of state to show up at the same time. So places that rent for events that don't particularly seem "wedding-y" are totally cool!

Hey Detroit! My names Will Bowen I'm a local indie filmmaker and I'm premiering my first feature film at The Redford Theater next month. The screening is completely free as I'm just looking create a fun community event to enjoy.

The film is titled “Wills Home Movies” and is a coming of age comedy documentary about life in Michigan while reflecting on the moments and relationships that shape our lives.

The event will be raising money for the Michigan branch of the Make-A-Wish foundation through voluntary donations and pay-what-you-can on movie merch!

If the project interests you and you would be willing to attend the event and support local film it would truly mean the world to me.

To learn more information and reserve your tickets I have an Eventbrite page set up that I will link here. Thank you so much! TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE!

Republican gubernatorial candidate and former attorney general Mike Cox has received campaign donations of more than $30,000 from eight political action committees, four of which have his wife, former Michigan Republican Party Chair Laura Cox, listed as the treasurer.

Three of those PACs — Cox Leadership PAC, Make Michigan Grow Again PAC, and Make Michigan Safe Again PAC — have given more than 98% of the money they raised to Cox’s gubernatorial run. The fourth, Cox Majority PAC, has given around 90% to Cox. 

Good luck Mikala!

We are rooting for you!!

Michigan State University’s Board of Trustees voted to raise President Kevin Guskiewicz’s salary by more than $1 million in a special Sunday night meeting.

The move, which is subject to the finalization of an amended employment contract, would raise his salary from $1,029,000 to $2 million and increase an annual unvested employer award he receives from $200,000 to $250,000.
