@ZachGorchow @ReginaforRep @kasbenal @Cheyna_R I mean I’d say it was a stellar episode but solid works too
Yes, I pointed out this 2017 story from @kasbenal -- gongwer.com/blog/153601/Ch… (no login required) -- that was a big warning. The collective response in town? 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

After returning to the House with the tie-bar between 5534 and 5592 broken, 5534, which would create a study to examine alternative ways to fund courts, fails to clear the chamber. 5592, which extends the sunset for the current model, passes by wide margins.

News on community college guarantee: House budget does NOT include. It does make revisions to Michigan Achievement Scholarship - chair says those students should still see free tuition.
Higher education budget news: House proposal declines to phase out the Tuition Grant Program for private colleges/universities, maintains current funding. Governor recommended phasing out the scholarship w/increases in other aid #MiLeg
Gov. Whitmer's proposal to reduce payments on retiree health care debt, set to be 100% funded soon, cleared a big first hurdle with approval from a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. The Senate, so far, is following the governor's plan. Story from @kasbenal.

As expected, Dems regained a voting majority in the #MiHouse tonight. Mai Xiong wins the 13th House District & Peter Herzberg wins the 25th.
AG Dana Nessel is planning to announce criminal charges today in the investigation against former House Speaker Lee Chatfield, who has been accused of sexual assault and financial impropriety by his former sister in law, Rebekah Chatfield. bit.ly/3ONAnkp
A fantastic night last night at the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame induction ceremony with former @GongwerMichigan VP Larry Lee inducted among a stellar class of six outstanding journalists. Deserving recognition for a 39-year career building Gongwer. And a great person.

In Grand Rapids this morning as @GovWhitmer talks recently signed bipartisan economic growth and development legislation giving local Kent Co. governments the power to raise revenue for community improvement projects. Gov checked out some local wares prior to the event (up next).
Congrats to @detroitnews reporter @karaberg95 for winning a Wade McCree Award for the Advancement of Justice for her shocking report of Michigan kids who have died from child abuse under the watch of Child Protective Services. A must-read investigation: detroitnews.com/in-depth/news/…

Never thought I would be able to say this, but I am excited to announce I will be taking over the role of editor-in-chief of @thesnews next year! I have loved this place more than anything for three years and I can’t wait to cap off college being the leader of the newsroom 💚🤍

Bridge’s Lauren Gibbons honored for investigation into juvenile court fees bit.ly/4d0ZPy5
I decided to make a list of Lansing area roads that are not closed (feel free to let me know if I missed one): -
One of the most beautiful sights as a reporter in any budget hearing. Actual physical copies of budget documents.
Something for fun, courtesy of Capitol archives: the press area on the MI House floor from 1985-86 term. I only recognize one face -- second from left is Roger Weber of @Local4News, a kickass reporter whose work was one of the pieces that made covering the Capitol a goal for me.
Side note: The urge to look directly at the sun, sans eclipse glasses, was a lot stronger than I thought it would be tbh
Honestly, the fervor surrounding the eclipse has been kind of nice in the sense that it is an event with mostly nationwide access/interest that -- as far as I'm aware, and if it's not, don't spoil this for me -- is incredibly wholesome and fun to be part of.
Working from the Capitol lawn right now while others around me do the same, waiting to be in the path of totality. Kids are running on the lawn. Folks have out blankets and snacks. There's no point to this tweet other than vibe is very cool and I love living in a community!!
Greetings from inside the top of the dome at MI’s beautiful Capitol. Thanks to Barb Thumudo for leading us up the scaffolding w informative commentary. Photo by Ryan Kazmirzack #MiCapitol
Hooray Oakland University! A school that is located in ROCHESTER HILLS, MI, in OAKLAND County. So fun! Go Grizzlies! — signed an OU alumna and Oakland County native driven to post on the internet after seeing 19.57 too many jokes about Oakland, Michigan.
At the @MICountyRoads conference this morning. If I'm up early after a late night of helping untangle what the Legislature did, you get me in glasses. Also, no, I was not sleeping listening to the esteemed @RickAlbinWoodTV even though I look a bit out of it in this photo.
Here's something I regretfully missed last night while flying home: Honored to be named a 2023 Michigan Journalist of the Year, along with my ace colleague @mwilk_Bridge. Thanks to the @MichiganPress Association for the recognition!
It was a good time! Last week, I made everybody listen to me on a podcast, so glad I had the opportunity to up the ante
Congrats to @ElenaDurnbaugh, who makes her Off The Record debut on this week's show. And @AdrianHemond conveniently waited until the cameras were off to challenge me to a debate over dark money: pbs.org/video/mar-15-2…
Woke up this morning to find out I’m a sports writer and so is @annaliznichols. Thank you @MichiganPress for this unexpected but extremely fun honor!
