RECORD OF 96 DEGREES ANDREW,
KIMBERLY AND DEVON, THERE’S A
GOOD CHANCE OF BREAKING THAT 90
YEAR OLD DEGREE ALMOST 90 YEARS
OLD. WE’RE LOOKING AT HIGH
TEMPERATURES TOMORROW EASILY IN
THE MIDDLE NINETIES, 96 WAS SET
BACK IN 1933. WELL WE COULD MAKE

THANK YOU, SOME BREAKING NEWS
JUST IN FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT,
WHERE AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A
PEDAL BAR SENDS A WOMAN TO THE
HOSPITAL. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT
OUTSIDE COMERICA PARK AND TIM
PAMPLIN IS ON THE SCENE WITH THE
NIGHT CAMP, TIM. WELL, THERE,
YOU SEE, THE YOUNG LADY SAID IN
HER MID TWENTIES, GOOD NEWS. SHE
IS TALKING TO THE MEDICS. SHE’S
ALERT AND CONSCIOUS. HERE’S WHAT
HAPPENED. WE’RE MONTCALM AND
WOODWARD. THAT’S THE COMERICA
PARK OFF IN THE BACKGROUND. AS I
MAKE MY WAY AROUND THIS POLICE
CRUISER THERE IS THE MICHIGAN
PEDAL BAR, THE MICHIGAN PADDLER.
IT’S A PEDAL BIKE. YOU SEE HIM
RUNNING AROUND TOWN. PEOPLE GET
ON THEIR DOZEN. ALSO, PEOPLE
HAVE A JOLLY GOOD TIME.
TYPICALLY UNFORTUNATELY, THIS
EVENING THE YOUNG LADY BECAME
DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE
FELL UNDERNEATH, AND THEN THE
THING RAN HER OVER AGAIN. SHE’S
IN THE BACK OF THE AMBULANCE.
SHE IS TALKING TO THE MEDICS AND
POLICE ARE TALKING TO OTHER
PEOPLE THAT WERE ON THIS PEDAL
BAR OUTSIDE COMERICA PARK. BUT
TO RECAP, A YOUNG LADY SHOULD
HAVE BEEN HER MID TWENTIES WAS
OUT HAVING FUN WITH SOME FRIENDS
TONIGHT ON THIS MICHIGAN
DISLODGED FROM THE VEHICLE GOT
CAUGHT UP UNDERNEATH. AND WAS
RAN OVER. THAT IS THE SCENE
OUTSIDE COMERICA PARK. WITH THE
NIGHT CAME TIM PAMPLIN FOR LOCAL
OKAY. TIM BERKELEY CITY
COUNCILMAN IS AT THE CENTER OF
CONTROVERSY TONIGHT FOR VOTING
AGAINST A PRIDE BLOCK PARTY,
EXPLAINED HIS VOTE BY SAYING HE
HAD DEEPLY HELD RELIGIOUS
BELIEFS THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS
WRONG. MACDONALD LIVE IN
BERKELEY TONIGHT, MARA. HIS
COMMENTS DID NOT STOP THERE. NO
DEVON. EQUALLY. TAKE A LOOK.
BEFORE PUBLIC COMMON COULD EVEN
BEGIN. COUNCILMAN DENNIS HENAN
ISSUED AN APOLOGY TO SPEAK WITH
MORE COMPASSION TO REACH OUT TO
MORE PEOPLE WITH MAKING
DECISIONS. POLITICAL AND
RELIGIOUS VIEWS SEPARATE FROM
GOVERNMENT POLICY AGAIN. I’M
SORRY, APOLOGY DIDN’T DIM THE
HURT AND ANGER OVER HIS ORIGINAL
WORDS. I HAD NEVER KNOWN YOUR
BELIEFS BEFORE THAT WERE SO
HATEFUL AND DEEP BECAUSE YOU
NEVER OFFERED THAT INFORMATION
TO ME BEFORE I VOTED FOR YOU
TWICE. YOUR RELIGION IS JUST
THAT YOURS. IF YOU’RE USING IT
TO CAST VOTES, YOU DO NOT
DESERVE A SEAT AT THIS TABLE.
HANNON IS EMBROILED IN
CONTROVERSY AFTER HE NOT ONLY
VOTED NO ON A PRIDE BLOCK PARTY
, WHICH THE REST OF THE COUNCIL
SUPPORTED, BUT HIS REASONS WHY,
INCLUDING HIS QUOTE, DEEPLY HELD
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND CLAIMING
HE WASN’T HOMOPHOBIC. BECAUSE HE
FELT EQUALLY ABOUT ALL KINDS OF
SIN. THOSE WORDS IN RAGED THE
STANDING ROOM ONLY CROWD. IT IS
DIFFICULT TO GRASP WHAT YOU
MEANT WHEN YOU COMPARED OUR
LIVES AND OUR LOVE TO ALL KINDS
OF SIN. WE’RE GLAD THAT YOU’RE
NOW RECOGNIZE THAT OUR COMMUNITY
WILL NOT TOLERATE HATE FROM OUR
GOVERNMENT. BUT THE HARM THAT
YOU HAVE CAUSED IS NOT SO EASILY
UNDONE. BEFORE THE JUNE 6TH
MEETING, WE KNEW YOU AS DENNIS
HANNON, THE COUNCIL MEMBER. NOW
WE KNOW HE WAS DENNIS HADN’T THE
BIGGEST BACK HERE LIVE. DESPITE
THE APOLOGY, MANY ASKED FOR HIM
TO RESIGN HIS POSITION ON THE
CITY COUNCIL, SOME EVEN SAYING
THAT THEY WOULD SUPPORT A RECALL
. WE’RE LIVE IN BERKELEY
TONIGHT, MARA MACDONALD. LOCAL
4. OKAY MAURA. THANK YOU. POLICE
IN DEARBORN HEIGHTS TONIGHT,
SEARCHING FOR THE PERSON
RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGING A
PREGNANCY CENTER THAT OFFERS
FREE SERVICES TO WOMEN ARE
PAMELA OSBORNE IS LIVE OUTSIDE
THE CENTER NEAR ANN ARBOR TRAIL
AND TELEGRAPH HIM. THIS WASN’T
JUST WINDOWS SMASHED EITHER.
RIGHT KIMBERLY. SO IF YOU TAKE A
LOOK HERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE
VANDALS TRIED TO LEAVE A MESSAGE
BEHIND. IT’S BEEN A RACE, BUT
THE PEOPLE WHO OPERATE THE
CENTER HERE THEY SAY THAT THERE
HAVE BEEN OTHER PREGNANCY
CENTERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
THAT HAVE HAD VANDALISM DAMAGE
AND HAVE BEEN TAGGED AS WELL.
THAT LEADS THEM TO BELIEVE THAT
THEY’RE BEING TARGETED FOR THEIR
PRO LIFE VIEWS AND STANCE. THEY
ALSO SAY THE PERSON WHO DID THIS
HAD LITTLE TO NO CONSIDERATION
FOR THE FAMILIES AND THE WOMEN
THEY SERVE HERE. BROKE. HOLD THE
WINDOWS. BASICALLY GARY
HILLEBRAND IS UPSET. THE
PREGNANCY RESOURCE CENTER HE
OVERSEES BECAME A TARGET FOR
VANDALS OVERNIGHT. SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY MORNING, I FEEL BAD FOR
ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DONATE MONEY
AND GOODS AND TIME HERE THAT
SOME OF THAT HAS TO GO TO
CLEANING UP 11 WINDOWS WERE
SMASHED THREE GLASS DOORS
SHATTERED, BUT IT’S THE MESSAGE
THAT WAS SPRAYED ONTO THE
BUILDING THAT HAS HILLEBRAND
THINKING THEY WERE TARGETED
RELATED TO NOVI WADE. DECISION
COMING DOWN FROM THE SUPREME
COURT. LOT OF PEOPLE ARE UPSET
ABOUT THAT, AND TAKING IT OUT.
ODDLY ENOUGH, PEOPLE LIKE US WHO
ARE TRYING TO HELP THE LADIES
WHO ARE PREGNANT WOULD HELP JUST
LAST MONTH, 97 MOTHERS TURNED TO
THE LINEN PREGNANCY CENTER FOR
HELP. THEY OFFER THE BASICS LIKE
FORMULA, DIAPERS, CLOTHING AND
SUPPORT WITH PARENTING AND
BUDGETING CLASSES, EVEN
ULTRASOUNDS, BURGLARY ALARMS
FRONT DOOR AND LOBBY MOTION. IS
EVERYTHING OKAY? THE SECURITY
SYSTEM WORKING NOW DIDN’T ALERT
THEM TO ANY ISSUES OVERNIGHT.
THE CAMERAS IN THE BACK DID NOT
CAPTURE WHO VANDALIZED THERE.
THE PROPERTY. HILLEBRAND WOULD
LIKE TO KNOW WHO BUT MORE THAN
THAT HE WANTS THE WOMEN AND
FAMILIES THEY SERVE TO KNOW
THEIR DOORS ARE STILL OPEN. I
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO THEM.
I JUST FOR OUR CLIENTS. I WANT
THEM TO KNOW WE’RE STILL HERE.
THEY ARE NOW CONTEMPLATING
PUTTING CAMERAS ALONG THE FRONT
SIDE OF THIS BUSINESS, WHICH
THEY DIDN’T THINK THEY’D HAVE TO
DO BECAUSE IT’S PRETTY WELL LIT,
AND IT SITS RIGHT UP AGAINST A
MAJOR ROAD. BUT AS WE KNOW
SOMETHING DID HAPPEN HERE.
DEARBORN POLICE DEARBORN HEIGHTS
POLICE RATHER NOW INVESTIGATING
REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT AND
PAMELA OSBORNE, LOCAL 4. OKAY,
PAM, THANK YOU. A COMMUNITY
COMING TOGETHER TONIGHT TO
ADDRESS VIOLENCE AND E COURSE
THIS EVENT COMES JUST WEEKS
AFTER REPORTED RISING CRIME THAT
INCLUDED FOUR SHOOTINGS AT THE
RENAISSANCE ESTATES APARTMENT
COMPLEX. WELL, THOSE WHO
ATTENDED TONIGHT’S EVENT, THOUGH
THE INITIAL INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL
CENTER CHURCH SAW THE WAYNE
COUNTY SHERIFF AND THE ACTING
POLICE CHIEF, DISAGREEING ON THE
AMOUNT OF HELP BEING PROVIDED BY
THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE. I’M NOT
HERE TO PLAY GAMES. I’M NOT HERE
TO PLAY POLITICS. I’M HERE TO
SERVE THE CITIZENS OF THE COURSE
SO IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GET
INVOLVED IN THE GAME PLAYING AND
POLITICS, YOU CAN’T PLAY
POLITICS WITH FOLKS LIVES. MOST
OF THESE CRIMES ARE BEING
COMMITTED. ON THE WEEKENDS. AND
AT NIGHT. THE SHERIFF’S
DEPARTMENT IS MOSTLY BEING THERE
DURING THE WEEK WHEN NOTHING IS
GOING ON. SHERIFF SAYS DEPUTIES
ARE REGULARLY PATROLLING AND E
COURSE THE ACTING CHIEF
DISAGREED. IT’S SHERIFF SAYS HIS
DEPARTMENT WILL PROVIDE
ASSISTANCE THROUGH SUMMER AND
INTO THE FALL AND BY THE END OF
THE MEETING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
POINT OUT. THE SHERIFF AGREED TO
MEET WITH THE PASTOR AND THE
ACTING CHIEF TO DISCUSS
SOLUTIONS. TOMORROW MORNING,
DETROIT CITY COUNCIL IS EXPECTED
TO VOTE ON ANOTHER TAX BREAK FOR
DAN GILBERT’S HUDSON SITE
DEVELOPMENT DOWNTOWN SKYSCRAPER
PROJECT, NOW EXPECTED TO COST
$1.4 BILLION IN BEDROCK IS
SEEKING AN ADDITIONAL $60
MILLION TAX BREAK FROM THE CITY.
LAST WEEK. DETROIT CITY COUNCIL
DELAYED A VOTE AFTER PUSHBACK
FROM RESIDENTS TODAY. MAYOR
DUGGAN DEFENDED THE PROJECT.
WE’VE HAD A SITE THAT’S BEEN
EMPTY FOR 40 YEARS. DAN GILBERT
STEPS UP AND IS BUILDING THE
SECOND LARGEST BUILDING IN THE
ENTIRE STATE OF MICHIGAN AT THE
TIME. NOBODY ELSE’S TRYING THAT
CONSTRUCTION COSTS HAVE GONE UP
DRAMATICALLY. HE’S NOW PLANNING
A 48 STORY BUILDING. IF HE
DOESN’T HAVE THIS $60 MILLION,
HE’S GOING TO GO BACK AND LOOK
AT. CAN I BUILD A BUILDING THAT
BIG AND WE ALL LOSE? TOMORROW
CITY COUNCIL MEETING WHICH WILL
BE FOLLOWING STARTS AT 10 A.M.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SAYS HE IS
CLOSE TO MAKING A DECISION ON
WHETHER TO SUPPORT A TEMPORARY
BREAK FROM THE FEDERAL GAS TAX
PAUSE WOULD LOWER THE COST PER
GALLON BY MORE THAN 18 CENTS,
BUT IT REQUIRES ACTION BY
CONGRESS. HOW SOON CAN WE EXPECT
A DECISION? I HOPE I HAVE A
DECISION BASED ON DATA I’M
LOOKING FOR BY BY THE END OF THE
WEEK. TAX CARDS GETS REBATE
CARDS. WELL THAT’S PART OF WHAT
WE CONSIDER THAT’S PART OF THE
WHOLE OPERATION. RIGHT NOW. THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE PRICE FOR A
GALLON OF GAS IS 4 98 HERE IN
METRO DETROIT. WE’RE PAYING AN
AVERAGE OF FIVE 20-6 PER GALLON
HOURS FROM NOW. THE NEXT HEARING
ON THE JANUARY 6TH INSURRECTION
WILL KICK OFF AND THIS ONE WILL
FOCUS ON FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S ALLEGED EFFORTS. TO
INFLUENCE STATE LEGISLATORS AND
ELECTION OFFICIALS TO OVERTURN
THE 2020 ELECTION. WE’RE GOING
TO HEAR FROM GEORGIA’S SECRETARY
OF STATE BRAD RAFFENSPERGER,
ABOUT THE PRESSURE HE FACED FROM
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO FIND THE
VOTES NECESSARY FOR HIM TO WIN
THE STATE OF GEORGIA. TOMORROW’S
