HALTING VOICE, DUNSKY DETAIL HOW
A 25 YEAR OLD NAMED KEVIN BACON

CANNIBALISM. THE CASE DRAWING
WORLDWIDE ATTENTION, EVEN ACTOR
KEVIN BACON, SAYING HE WAS
OFFERING PRAYERS TO THE VICTIMS
. FAMILY BACON’S KILLING,
HURTING SO MANY THAT LOVED HIM.
IT WAS JUST SO GOOD AND HE
DIDN’T DESERVE THIS. IT BREAKS
MY HEART. IT JUST I WANT
EVERYBODY TO JUST BE MORE AWARE.
JUST KNOW LIKE EVERYONE THINKS
LIKE THIS CAN’T HAPPEN IN YOUR
COMMUNITY, BUT IT CAN. IT CAN
HAPPEN TO SOMEONE YOU KNOW. AND
I JUST WANT TO. I JUST WANTED TO
BE BRING AWARENESS AND REALLY
MAKE PEOPLE THINK TWICE ABOUT
WHO YOU’RE MEETING OR WHAT
YOU’RE DOING, AND THE
INFORMATION YOU GIVE ME PLED
GUILTY, BUT THIS HEARING IS FOR
A JUDGE TO DECIDE WHAT DEGREE OF
MURDER THAT WILL GO WITH HIS
CONVICTION. BACK HERE LIVE.

JUDGE WILL RENDER A DECISION ON
FIRST DEGREE MURDER, SECONDARY
MURDER OR MANSLAUGHTER WILL LET
YOU KNOW WHAT THE DECISION IS.
WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT. SHAWN LEY
LOCAL FORWARD BACK TO YOU CASE.
ALRIGHT, SEAN. AFTER MONTHS OF
ANTICIPATION THE APPLICATION
PROCESS FOR THE WHITE HOUSE
STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM
IS UP AND RUNNING. IT’S COMING
AMID QUESTIONS OVER WHO’S
ELIGIBLE AND HOW TO APPLY.
MALONEY IS LIVE TO HELP US TAKE
US THROUGH THE PROCESS, STEP BY
STEP, AND RIGHT. I KNOW YOU WERE
AT U OF M DEARBORN TODAY. YES WE
WERE THERE AND ANOTHER SCHOOL AS
WELL. AND I’LL TAKE A LOOK TAKES
A WHOLE LOT OF THESE TO GO TO
COLLEGE. AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE
ENOUGH OF THESE, OFTENTIMES YOU
HAVE TO TAKE LOANS AND THAT’S
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING. AND
SO NOW THE QUESTION IS WHEN THE
PRESIDENT OFFERS DEBT RELIEF,
HOW DO YOU GET IT? WELL, LET’S
TAKE A LOOK. THE REASONING
BEHIND THIS CONTROVERSIAL
PROGRAM. COLLEGE DEBT IS CHOKING
OFF ECONOMIC LIFTOFF FOR THE
NEWLY GRADUATED. WILL YOU GO AND
BE SIGNING UP? DEFINITELY
DEFINITELY. I WILL BE SIGNING UP
. I WILL BE SIGNING UP, AND EVEN
THOSE AT THE HEAD OF THE CLASS
OFTEN HAVE LOANS THEMSELVES. I
HAVE THREE DEGREES BACHELOR’S A
MASTER’S AND A PHD AND $80,000
IN DEBT HE SIGNED UP THIS
MORNING. I THINK IT’S A GOOD
START. I THINK IT DOESN’T GO FAR
ENOUGH. I’D LIKE TO SEE FURTHER
LOAN FORGIVENESS. YOU GO TO
STUDENT EIGHT DOT GOV TO FIND
THE APPLICATION YOU PUT IN YOUR
PERSONAL INFORMATION. THE
GOVERNMENT SAYS THAT IT’S GOING
TO TAKE CARE OF DECIDING HOW
MUCH YOU CAN GET NOW YOU CAN
APPLY TO DAY THROUGH DECEMBER
31ST OF NEXT YEAR. ONLINE PREFER
PAPER. THOSE APPLICATIONS AREN’T
QUITE READY YET, BUT APPARENTLY
COMING SOON. IF YOU HAVE A PELL
GRANT, YOU CAN QUALIFY FOR UP TO
$20,000. IF YOUR LOANS AREN’T
PILLS, IT’S UP TO $10,000 IN
DEBT RELIEF LOAN BALANCES MUST
BE ACCRUED BEFORE JUNE 30TH OF
2022. NOW THERE ARE MANY WHO SAY
THIS ISN’T DEBT RELIEF AS MUCH
AS A TRANSFER FROM TAXPAYERS TO
LOAN RECIPIENTS WHICH MADE
GIBRALTAR YOU HAVE THEM DEARBORN
STUDENT DEVIN NEGI, HESITANT
PEOPLE WOULD BENEFIT THE MOST. I
PERSONALLY DON’T THINK THEY’RE
NECESSARY BECAUSE THAT’S A LOT
OF SPENDING. SOMEBODY’S GOING TO
PAY FOR THAT. MY PARENTS ARE
WORKING CLASS PEOPLE. THEY
DIDN’T GO TO COLLEGE, SO I FEEL
LIKE THEY WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE
TO FLOAT THE BILL FOR THE PEOPLE
THAT DID. SO THERE ARE INCOME
LIMITS. IF IT’S AN INDIVIDUAL,
YOU HAVE TO HAVE MADE 100
$125,000 IN 2020, OR 2021 FOR
FAMILIES. IT’S $250,000 IN THAT
SAME PERIOD, BUT IT’S MUCH MORE
COMPLICATED THAN THAT. IF YOU
NEED TO KNOW MORE, YOU CAN
CERTAINLY GO TO THE STUDENT GOV.
STUDENT AID DOT GOV WEBSITE. TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THE EXACT
INFORMATION BACK TO YOU. WRITE
ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU IF YOU
HAVE PREVIOUSLY DEFAULTED ON
PAYMENTS ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR
THIS RELIEF? YES IN FACT, THE
SIMPLE ANSWER IS YES, BUT THERE
IS WHAT THEY CALL A FRESH START
PROGRAM. AND IF YOU ARE IN
DEFAULT, YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK
INTO THAT. BECAUSE THAT COULD
HELP YOU GET BACK ON YOUR FEET.
OKAY WE APPRECIATE IT TUESDAY,
THREE WEEKS AWAY. CRUNCH TIME
BEGINS THREE WEEKS FROM VOTERS
HEADING TO THE POLLS IN THE
MIDTERM ELECTIONS. PRESIDENT
BIDEN IS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL,
URGING DEMOCRATS TO VOTE TO GIVE
THEM ENOUGH SEATS IN CONGRESS.
TO CODIFY ABORTION ACCESS IN THE
LAW. THAT COMES AS CANDIDATES
SPAR IN DEBATES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY IN A FIGHT FOR EVERY
VOTE. ALICE BAR HAS THE LATEST
FROM WASHINGTON. ALICE GOOD
EVENING. SOME ARE QUESTIONING
WHY PRESIDENT BIDEN DIDN’T PUSH
HARDER TO CODIFY ABORTION RIGHTS
BEFORE THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS. HE
SAYS SIMPLY. HE DIDN’T HAVE THE
VOTES AND PROMISES. IF HE GETS
ENOUGH, IT WILL BE HIS FIRST
PRIORITY IN THE NEW CONGRESS.
WITH THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS JUST
THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SEEKING TO DRAW
ATTENTION BACK TO A LEADING
ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATS, ACCESS TO
ABORTION, CARE ABOUT THE RIGHT
TO CHOOSE, THEN YOU GOT TO VOTE
THE PRESIDENT PROMISING TO
CODIFY THE RIGHT TO AN ABORTION
INTO LAW IF DEMOCRATS PICK UP
SEATS IN THE NEXT CONGRESS
SUPPORT OUR SIGN A LAW CODIFYING
ROE IN JANUARY, DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES GOT A BOOST THIS
SUMMER AFTER THE SUPREME COURT
OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE, BUT
REPUBLICANS ARE NOW SURGING
AGAIN. WITH THE ECONOMY AND
INFLATION RE EMERGING AS THE TOP
CONCERN FOR VOTERS. VERY, VERY
FEW WOMEN ACTUALLY GO AND GET AN
ABORTION, BUT EVERY WOMAN IS
GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE IS
GOING TO THE GAS PUMP ECONOMY,
DEMOCRACY AND ABORTION, ALL KEY
FLASHPOINTS IN LAST NIGHT’S
DEBATES, LIKE WHEN THE OHIO
SENATE CANDIDATES WENT HEAD TO
HEAD OVER REPUBLICAN SUPPORT
OVER A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN.
THEY WANT PEOPLE TO GET A
PASSPORT AND HAVE TO GO TO
CANADA LARGEST GOVERNMENTAL
OVERREACH IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
LIFETIME. I THINK IT’S TOTALLY
REASONABLE TO SAY YOU CANNOT
ABORT A BABY, ESPECIALLY FOR
ELECTIVE REASONS. AFTER 15 WEEKS
OF GESTATION, THE STATE OF
DEMOCRACY TAKING CENTER STAGE AT
THE UTAH SENATE DEBATE, AS THE
INDEPENDENT CHALLENGER ACCUSED
THE REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT OF
BACKING EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE
2020 ELECTION ON JANUARY 6TH.
THAT WAS THE MOST AGREE GIS
PORTRAYAL OF OUR NATION’S
CONSTITUTION IN ITS HISTORY BY A
U. S SENATOR. THERE WERE PEOPLE
WHO BEHAVED VERY BADLY ON THAT
DAY. I WAS NOT ONE OF THEM.
CANDIDATES FIGHTING FOR EVERY
VOTE, WITH VOTERS APPEARING
MOTIVATED TO GEORGIA ALREADY
SEEING RECORD EARLY TURNOUT,
ACCORDING TO A NEW NEW YORK
TIMES SIENNA COLLEGE POLL.
VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY BELIEVE
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IS UNDER
THREAT, BUT FOR MOST, IT’S NOT
THEIR TOP ISSUE. 39% OF VOTERS
SAY THEY’D BE COMFORTABLE
BACKING A CANDIDATE WHO REJECTED
THE 2020 ELECTION RESULTS IN
WASHINGTON. ALICE BAR FOUR LOCAL
ALL RIGHT, ALISON, IF YOU’RE
STILL TRYING TO GET FAMILIAR
WITH THE ISSUES AHEAD OF THE
ELECTION, THE TEAM THAT
CLICKONDETROIT.COM HAS YOU
COVERED. OUR VOTER GUIDE HAS
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT ALL THE LOCAL RACES,
VOTING LOCATIONS, THE IMPORTANT
DEADLINES, YOU’LL FIND IT ON THE
ELECTIONS PAGE RIGHT NOW.
ALRIGHT LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
NEW CORONAVIRUS NUMBERS FOR THE
WEEK AND IT SEEMS TO BE HOLDING
PRETTY STEADY. 12,414 NEW CASES
OVER THE PAST SEVEN DAYS
AVERAGING OUT TO 1700 CASES
ABOUT PER DAY, RIGHT IN LINE
WITH LAST WEEK, 173 NEW DEATHS
ARE ALSO BEING REPORTED OVER
THAT SAME TIME PERIOD. OKAY
