LEADERSHIP TAKING AIM AT PARTY
CHAIR RON WEISER CO CHAIRMAN
SEAN MADDOCK AND CHIEF OF STAFF
PAUL CORTEZ DIXON WROTE. THE
TRUTH IS THEY FOUGHT AGAINST ME
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AND PUT
THE ENTIRE TICKET AT RISK. SHE
WAS RESPONDING TO A LEAKED MEMO
FROM COURTIS, WHO SAID THE
ELECTION WAS DOOMED BY THE SPLIT
BETWEEN PRO AND ANTI TRUMP
FACTIONS WITHIN THE PARTY COUNTY
JUDGE HAS SENTENCED THE MAIN
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HIT AND RUN
DEATH. OF A FIVE YEAR OLD LITTLE
BOY. IT’S HEARTBREAKING WHEN YOU
SEE PHOTOS OF LITTLE PRESTON
SINGLETON. HE WAS HIT BY A CAR
ON VAN DYKE NEAR STEVENSON IN
WARREN BACK IN JUNE OF LAST
YEAR, PROSECUTORS SAY 22 YEAR
OLD MAURICE, SOME BLUR SPED
THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, TRYING
TO BEAT THE RED LIGHT, HIT THE
BOY AND KEPT ON GOING. HE WAS
CONVICTED OF A FEW CHARGES,
INCLUDING SECOND DEGREE MURDER
TODAY SIMILAR RECEIVED A
SENTENCE OF 20 TO 40 YEARS IN
PRISON AND WAYNE COUNTY. HEATED
ARGUMENTS IN COURT DID NOT STOP
FOR MAN FROM GOING TO TRIAL IN
THE DEATH OF AN OFF DUTY
SHERIFF’S DEPUTY. YOU MAY
REMEMBER DEPUTY DEVANTE JONES
WAS SHOT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021.
PROSECUTORS SAY THE SUSPECTS
WERE CONNECTED TO JONES THROUGH
ARGUMENTS IN A SERIES OF TEXT
MESSAGES, ULTIMATELY CHALLENGING
THE DEPUTY TO FACE TO FACE
MEETING WHERE HE WAS SHOT TO
DEATH. THEIR ATTORNEYS
CHALLENGED EVERY ASPECT OF THE
CASE, BUT THE JUDGE ORDERED ALL
FOUR TO FACE MURDER CHARGES WILL
BE ARRAIGNED IN TWO WEEKS.
CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL NOW SAYS IT
IS 100% FULL BECAUSE OF RSV
CASES. THE HOSPITAL SAYS THE
SURGE IS OVERLAPPING WITH THE
FLU SEASON OVERWHELMING
RESOURCES. THERE ARE PEDIATRIC
BED SHORTAGES LONGER WAIT TIMES
IN THE ER AND THE HOSPITAL IS
POSTPONING SOME ELECTIVE
SURGERIES. MODEST SEEN 259 CASES
OF RSV THIS SEASON NEARLY 50%
INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.
HOSPITAL SAYS MOST KIDS WITH RSV
CAN BE CARED FOR AT HOME.
PARENTS SHOULD TALK TO THEIR
CHILD’S PEDIATRICIAN BEFORE
RUSHING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM,
WHICH RIGHT NOW CAN BE A PRETTY
FULL PLACE. ALL RIGHT. WELL
WE’VE BEEN VERY LUCKY SO FAR IN
NOVEMBER, BUT THE COLD WEATHER
WE ALL KNEW WOULD COME
EVENTUALLY IS ON ITS WAY. 70
DEGREES EARLIER THAT MORE OVER
70 DEGREES, BUT HEADING DOWN
INTO THE THIRTIES KIM THAT’S
QUITE A SWING. BIG SWING.
ABSOLUTELY WE HAD 74 DEGREES IS
WHAT WE MADE IT UP TO TODAY,
LITTLE EVEN ABOVE WHAT WE
EXPECTED, AND NOW WE’RE DOWN TO
55. 54 GROW. SEALS STILL 62 AT
CITY AIRPORT, 60 AND PONTIAC
WILL HAVE THE MILD AIR ALL THE
WAY THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
WE’LL MAKE IT ONE MORE DAY INTO
THE LOW SIXTIES. BUT THEN LOOK
WHAT’S BEHIND THIS FRONTAL
BATTERY. YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY
WHERE THE FRONT IS. YOU DON’T
HAVE TO BE A METEOROLOGIST. LOOK
AT THE TEMPERATURES OUT OF THE
HEAD OF THE FRONT. IT’S 62 IN
CHICAGO, THEN BACK BEHIND THE
FRONT. IT’S 31 IN DES MOINES,
AND YOU LOOK UP AT BISMARCK.
TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS AND
ALL THAT COLD AIR IS MOVING HERE
TOMORROW, THOUGH. THE FRONT IS
NOT THROUGH UNTIL THE AFTERNOON
SO WE WILL MAKE IT UP TO A HIGH
OF A ABOUT 61 DEGREES. SOME OF
THE SUBURBS STAYING IN THE UPPER
FIFTIES WILL BRING IN A CHANCE
OF RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON, MAINLY
ON THE EAST SIDE. BUT LET ME
GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEEK. THE
TEMPERATURE TREND. THESE ARE
HIGHS. THESE ARE NOT LOWS. LOOKS
LIKE WE WILL STAY WELL BELOW
NORMAL. STARTING SATURDAY, I’LL
HAVE AN UPDATE ON WHAT WAS
HURRICANE NICOLE. NOW. A
