📢 Some news from the personal desk: This is my last week at @Local4News.
It’s been a real privilege to work as a journalist in my hometown for more than a decade. I’m grateful for the incredible colleagues who made the long days (and nights) worth it.
Are taxpayers getting their money’s worth? With only 30 bills signed into law so far, Michigan’s legislative session is moving at one of its slowest paces in years.
Welcome to Detroit, @Apple. I have no doubt this will be one of the top-performing Apple Stores in the country. Detroit, you’ve got to check it out… this one’s something special. And how about that custom logo?!
After landing in Cancun this morning, I traveled directly to the maximum security prison where Paul and Christy Akeo are being held. I met with them personally for an hour and learned of the horrific conditions they are facing — rubbled walls, overcrowded cells, toilets that don’t flush, and disgusting food. This has left them scared, frustrated, and struggling to find hope. I assured them that I am doing everything I can to urgently secure their safe release.
Following my meeting with Paul and Christy I met with the president of the Quintana Roo Supreme Court to expedite any relief we can provide. Thank you to the U.S. State Department for their assets and support on the ground to end this family’s nightmare, and I hope to have more to share soon.
A big Saturday about to tip-off at the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis!
Michigan State and Michigan each trying to punch their ticket to the final game on Sunday.
Join us on @Local4News as the Spartans and Wolverines continue their chase for a championship! 🏆🏀
Knives are out in the Detroit mayor’s race: Mary Sheffield and Saunteel Jenkins were at senior living apartments on Robert Bradley when things got heated. Sheffield says Jenkins “left the city at the worst of times during the bankruptcy to go work as a CEO.”
