GOOD. 50 MINUTES NOW 48 IN ANN
ARBOR. A LOT OF FORTIES IN
LIVINGSTON, NORTHERN OAKLAND
COUNTY, PORT HURON IS 50. IT’S
50 IN ADRIAN. THE RAIN ACCORDING
TO OUR 4WARN WEATHER RADAR SHOWS
A HALF AN INCH TO THREE QUARTERS
OF AN INCH OR MORE FROM FRIDAY
AFTERNOON EVENING AND OVERNIGHT,
BUT COLD FRONT HAS COME THROUGH
AND YOU CAN SEE MOST OF THE
MOISTURE HEADING TO TORONTO AND
EVEN THE CLEARING LINE COMING
OUR WAY, AT LEAST FOR A FEW
HOURS UP NORTH. WE SEE MORE
CLOUDS AND A COUPLE OF SPRITZES
SPOTTY AREAS OF DRIZZLE THROUGH
THE MIDDLE DAY OR EARLY
AFTERNOON AND WE’RE IN THE
MIDDLE SIXTIES TODAY, BUT STAY
TUNED. I’VE GOT A WARMING END OF
THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND COMING
UP. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

WILL HAVE LESS MONEY TO SPEND IN
THE COMING YEAR. PROJECTIONS
SHOW MICHIGAN’S REVENUE WILL BE
NEARLY $900 MILLION LESS THIS
YEAR THAN FORECAST IN JANUARY,
AND THAT’S BECAUSE OF NEW TAX
CUTS NEXT FISCAL YEAR. IT WILL
BE NEARLY $2 BILLION LOWER, AND
EVEN WITH THE DIP, THE STATE IS
STILL FLUSH WITH CASH. GOVERNOR

$79 BILLION BUDGET, HER TEAM
SAYS THAT MAY HAVE TO BE REDUCED
SLIGHTLY. BECAUSE OF THIS NEWS.
