DOWNTOWN FOR NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. THE WIND HAS DIED DOWN A BIT ACROSS METRO DETROIT, BUT
OVER JUST THE PAST FEW HOURS,
TEMPERATURES HAVE DIPPED BACK
INTO THE RANGE THAT WE’RE USED
TO SEEING IN FEBRUARY. AS YOU
CAN STILL SEE A PRETTY STIFF
BREEZE THERE ACROSS THE FLAG
DOWNTOWN AT THIS 11 O’CLOCK OUR
GOOD EVENING. I’M DEVIN SCILLIAN
GIL DTE REPORTING ABOUT 5000 OF
ITS CUSTOMERS WITHOUT POWER
AFTER WIND GUSTS REACHED INTO
THE 50 MILE PER HOUR RANGE TODAY
, KIM ADAMS IS HERE WITH YOUR 41
FORECAST HIM. WELL WINDS ARE

WIND GUSTS TODAY, MOST OF WHICH
CAME BETWEEN FIVE AND SIX
O’CLOCK TONIGHT. WILLOW RUN
AIRPORT, 54 MPH GUST AND THEN
EVERYWHERE ELSE PRETTY MUCH IN
THE MID TO UPPER 40. SO IT WAS A
DEFINITELY A WINDY AFTERNOON FOR

PRETTY STEEP TUMBLE. JUST IN THE
LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. IT WAS 60
IN MONROE EARLIER THIS EVENING,
THERE NOW DOWN TO 40 39 AT METRO
38 IN ANN ARBOR. THE HIGHEST

NOW TO A DAY OF DRAMA IN LANSING
. ARGUMENTS OVER HOW TO
STRUCTURE TAX RELIEF LIKE THOSE
$180 INFLATION RELIEF CHECKS,
THE GOVERNOR’S PITCHING TURNED
INTO A SHOUTING MATCH ON THE
HOUSE FLOOR AND THEN
GAMESMANSHIP IN THE SENATE,
ENDING WITH NO VOTE. MARA
MACDONALD LIVE WITH MORE AND THE
TAKEAWAY HERE. QUITE A QUITE A
DAY AND EVENING, MARA. WELL WE
SAW HOW THE SAUSAGE IS GOING TO
GET MADE IN LANSING UNDER THE
NEW LEADERSHIP, THAT’S FOR SURE
. DEVIN SCILLIAN FOR EVERYBODY
AT HOME. THOSE $180 CHECKS THAT
THE GOVERNOR IS PITCHING. THAT
IS JUST ABOUT A DONE DEAL. THE
IDEA OF ROLLING BACK INCOME
TAXES APPEARS TO BE DEAD IN THE
WATER AND THE GAMES WELL, SAME
AS IT EVER WAS. MOTIVE IS
ADOPTED. MUFFLED YELLING YOU
HERE IS THE OUTRAGED GOP IN THE
MICHIGAN HOUSE WHEN THE
DEMOCRATS WHO CONTROL THE GAVEL
PUSHED THROUGH A VOTE ON HOUSE
BILL FOUR OH ONE WITHOUT LETTING
MEMBERS SPEAK ON IT. THAT’S THE
BILL, WHICH INCLUDES THE
GOVERNOR’S $180 CHECK PROPOSAL,
PHASING OUT THE THREE TIER
RETIREMENT SYSTEM, BOOSTING THE
EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT AND
PUTTING $800 MILLION INTO THE
SORE FUND, WHICH PROVIDES
INCENTIVES TO BUSINESSES. GOP
MEMBERS SUPPORT A LOT OF WHAT’S
IN THIS, BUT NOT THOSE ONES.
$180 CHECKS. THEY WANT TO SEE A
REDUCTION IN THE STATE INCOME
TAX FROM 4.25 TO 4 POINT. OH,
FIVE. THE BILL SQUEAKED BY 56 TO
53 WAS HEADED OVER TO THE SENATE
FOR A VOTE OF THE SENATE ANALOGY
EARNED ALL RIGHT. BUT THE GOP
WHO HAD THE GAVEL AT THE TIME
WHILE THE DEMOCRATS WEREN’T ON
THE FLOOR, PULLED A PROCEDURAL
FAST ONE AND ADJOURNED SO NO
VOTE COULD BE TAKEN. SENATE
REPUBLICANS LITERALLY SOLD THE
GAVEL AND RAN HOME RAN AWAY FROM
THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE FOR THAT
KIND OF RELIEF. IN MICHIGAN
FAMILIES THAT IS PROCEDURAL. IT
IS PETTY. WHAT’S ONE MAN’S PETTY
IS ANOTHER’S RIGHTEOUS
INDIGNATION, SENATE MINORITY
LEADER ERIC NESBITT SAYING
TONIGHT IN PART THE DISRESPECT
THAT WAS SHOWN TO HOUSE
REPUBLICANS THIS AFTERNOON BY
LOCKING THEM IN AND DENYING THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DEBATE SUCH A
CONSEQUENTIAL VOTE WAS AN INSULT
TO THIS INSTITUTION. IT IS MY
HOPE THAT WE CAN COME BACK, HIT
THE RESET BUTTON AND LEGISLATE
THROUGH A MORE TRANSPARENT
PROCESS. BACK HERE LIVE SO AFTER
ALL THE SHOUTING ZOH VER WHAT
REALLY HAPPENS NEXT? WELL, FOR
STARTERS, THE HOUSE AND THE
SENATE DO NOT TYPICALLY HAVE
SESSIONS ON FRIDAYS, WHICH MEANS
THE SENATE WILL RECONVENE NEXT
WEEK. THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE A
VOTE ON THIS BILL. THEORETICALLY
THEY HAVE THE VOTES TO PASS IT,
AND THEN IT’S ON TO THE NEXT
ISSUE. WHERE LIVE DOWNTOWN
TONIGHT. I’M MARA MACDONALD.

JACLYN FRANCIS WAS IMPORTANT
HERE ON THE NIGHT TALKING WITH
LOCAL INVESTIGATORS ABOUT THE
LONG SEARCH. U S MARSHALS FOUND
THE MISSING TEEN AT A HOME HERE
IN PORT HURON, BUT LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO TELL US
THEY NEVER STOPPED WORKING THE
CASE ON SEPTEMBER 3RD 2021 I’M
MISSING 13 YEAR OLD GIRL WAS
REPORTED TO THE ST CLAIR COUNTY
SHERIFF’S OFFICE BY HER FOSTER
PARENTS, THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE
AND THE PORT HURON POLICE
DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN
WORKING THE CASE OVER THE NEXT
YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF. WE
CHECKED DIFFERENT RESIDENCES
SOMEWHERE AROUND 40 DIFFERENT
TIMES, TRY TO MAKE CONTACT WITH
FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHER PEOPLE
WHO MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AS
FAR AS YOU’RE BEING MISSING, AND
WE KEPT REACHING ROADBLOCKS.
RECENTLY A STATE AGENCY REACHED
OUT WITH NEW INVOKE AT ONE POINT
WE WERE CONTACTED BY A GROUP
THAT WORKED WITH MICHIGAN STATE
POLICE. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD
SOME INFORMATION THAT THEY’D
LIKE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE
INVESTIGATION. WE WERE OPEN TO
WORK WITH ANYBODY, AND AT THAT
POINT WE SAID, SURE, LET’S LET’S
WORK TOGETHER TO FIND THIS
PERSON. MICHIGAN STATE POLICE
GOT THE U. S MARSHAL’S OFFICE
INVOLVED AND WITHIN HOURS A
SEARCH WARRANT WAS OBTAINED AND
THE MISSING GIRL WAS FOUND IN A
PORT HURON HOME. NOW 14 YEAR OLD
IS SEVERAL MONTHS PREGNANT AND
WAS REUNITED WITH HER FATHER,
THE INVESTIGATION INTO WHO SHE
WAS WITH AND WHAT HAPPENED
DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF
CONTINUES THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE
WISHING THEY HAD BETTER
COMMUNICATION WITH THE MARSHALS
, WHO FOUND HER GOAL OBVIOUSLY,
NUMBER ONE AND WE’RE VERY HAPPY
THAT THIS YOUNG GIRL WAS FOUND
AND REUNITED WITH WITH THEIR
FAMILY. THAT’S THE NUMBER ONE
GOAL. BUT WHILE WE’RE THERE, WE
WOULD LIKE TO REACH OTHER GOALS,
WHICH, LIKE I SAID, MAYBE
COLLECTING EVIDENCE OR WHATEVER
THE CIRCUMSTANCES MAY RISE. I
WOULD HOPE IN THE FUTURE WE’LL
HAVE A BETTER WORKING
RELATIONSHIP AND WORK TOGETHER
AND CASTLE WHITE OR NOT. THE
SHERIFF’S OFFICE AND THE
PORT HURON POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE
GOING TO CONTINUE WORKING IN
THIS CASE WILL BRING YOU UPDATES
AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.
REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT.
