TONIGHT GOVERNOR WHITMER CALLING
FOR A TEMPORARY FREEZE OF
MICHIGAN’S SALES TAX ON GLEAN TO
HELP LOWER PRICES AT THE PUMP.
A 6% SALES TAX WOULD BE ROLLED
BACK.
THE GOVERNOR DID NOT SAY HOW
LONG THIS CUT WOULD BE IN
EFFECT.
ON TOP OF SAVING MICHIGANDERS
MONEY AS THEY FACE RECORD HIGH
GAS PRICES, IT WOULD KEEP INTACT
ROAD FUNDING.
HER ANNOUNCEMENT COMES DAYS
AFTER SHE SIGNALED A VETO OF
REPUBLICANS’ ATTEMPT TO SUSPEND
THE STATE’S 27 CENT TAX ON FUEL.

I’LL TIME IT OUT FOR YOU AND

>> Kimberly: THANK YOU.
ANOTHER BIG DAY IN THE TRIAL OF
THE MEN PLOTTING TO KIDNAP THE
WHITMER AND THE STRONG BELIEFS
HELD BY THE DEFENDANTS.
GRANT, YOU LISTENED IN ALL DAY,
WHAT WERE JURORS ABLE TO HEAR?
>> JURORS WERE ABLE TO HEAR AND
GET A GLIMPSE INTO THE MIND OF
THESE MEN AND THAT THEIRJUST WER
ANTI-GOVERNMENT, BUT EXTREMES TO
VIOLENT ENDS.
WE GOT A LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL
PLAN TO BOMB THE MICHIGAN
CAPITOL.
>> ON THE STAND TODAY ONE OF THE KEY INFORMANTS FOR THE
KEY INFORMANTS FOR THE
PROSECUTORS, A POSTAL WORKER WHO
WAS LED TO THE GROUP, IT SHOWED
THE TANGLED WEB OF EXTREME
IDEOLOGY.
THEY SAY THEY’RE NOT A WHITE
SUPREMACY GROUP.
GROUPS WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE
BOOGALOO MOVEMENT WHICH WISHES
FOR A CIVIL WAR OR RACE WAR.
FOLLOWERS OFTEN WEARING HAWAIIAN
SHIRTS.
ANOTHER MEMBER MAKING EXPLICIT
ANTI-SEMITIC STATEMENTS,
INCLUDING I WANT ZIONISTS BANKER
BLOOD.
RECORDINGS AND MESSAGES
REVEALING MILITIA MEMBERS CALLED
FOR KILLING DOCTORS ENCOURAGING
VACCINES AND ONE WRITING IN THE
ENCRYPTED CHAT APP, I THINK THAT
SOME MEDICAL FASCISTS ARE GOING
TO NEED AN EXPLETIVE SOON.
AND VACCINES, BLOW THEM UP.
BOMBS AND IMPROVISE ARED
EXPLOSIVES AT THE MICHIGAN
CAPITOL WERE DISCUSSED AS THE
ORIGINAL PLAN BEFORE THE PLOT TO
KIDNAP GOVERNOR WHITMER.
THE GROUP’S LEADER ADAM FOX
TELLING THE INFORMANT HE WAS
INSPIRED BY TIMOTHY McCVEIGHMCVE
OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBER.
AND IF THEY CAN’T HAVE IT, MAKE
IT GLOW.
>> A DAY FULL OF ALARMING
TESTIMONY, THEY ARG ORIGINALLY
WANTED TO USE THE RALLY IN
LANSING TO WHIP PEOPLE UP INTO
THIS, AND SIMILAR TO JANUARY
6TH.
AND THERE WAS A MAN ATTACKER ON
THE U.S. CAPITOL, HAD DIRECT
CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION WITH
MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP TRYING TO
KIDNAP THE GOVERNOR.
THAT’S A DIFFERENT COURT CASE.
THIS CASE WILL BE BACK IN GRAND
RAPIDS ON MONDAY.
>> Kimberly: GRANT, THANKS.
>> Jason: NOW TO THE CORONAVIRUS
AND A SLIGHT UPTICK IN NEW DAILY
CASES 2770, OR AVERAGE OF 1385.
THE SEVEN-DAY MOVING AVERAGE OF
DAILY CASES, 811.
THE FIRST UPSWING IN THE
SEVEN-DAY CASE AVERAGE SINCE
LATE JANUARY.
THE STATE ALSO REPORTS 50 DEATHS
OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS.
THE SEVEN-DAY POSITIVITY RATE
SITS AT 3.5%.
>> Kimberly: A NEW CONSTRUCTION
PROJECT IS ABOUT TO MAKE IT
TOUGHER TO GET AROUND FARMINGTON
HILLS.
STARTING MONDAY, HERE IS WHAT
DRIVERS WILL SURFACE.
NORTHBOUND ORCHARD LAKE CLOSES
BETWEEN 13 AND 14 MILE.
TWO SOUTHBOUND LANES REMAIN
OPEN.
AND THAT’S SO CONSIDERING, TOUGH
CONSIDERING 14 MILE IS ALREADY
CLOSED BETWEEN ORCHARD LAKE AND
FARMINGTON ROAD.
KIM DEGIULIO LOOKS AT WHAT IT
MEANS FOR DRIVERS AND BUSINESSES
IN THE CONSTRUCTION AREA.
>> IT’S NOT JUST COMMUTERS THAT
ARE GOING TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF
THIS ONE.
LOCAL BUSINESSES WILL FEEL IT,
TOO.
COME MONDAY, ORCHARD LAKE ROAD
WILL CLOSE IN FARMINGTON HILLS
AND JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM
HERE, 14 MILE ALSO CLOSED,
MAKING THINGS EVEN TRICKIER.
>> IT’S GOING TO HIT US HARD
WITH THE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE A
HALF HOUR, HOUR FOR LUNCH.
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO
WAIT IN THE BACKUP.
SO THEY’RE GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE
OUTSIDE OF, YOU KNOW, 15 MILE OR
12 MILE AND THAT’S WHERE WE’RE
GOING TO MISS THOSE CUSTOMERS.
>> OWNER, MIKE OF SUNRISE CAFE
ON ORCHARD LAKE SAYS THIS IS
GOING TO BE TOUGH AS NORTHBOUND
ORCHARD LAKE WILL CLOSE BETWEEN
13 AND 14 MILE ROAD WHILE THE
SOUTHBOUND SIDE WILL GO DOWN TO
TWO LANES.
>> THE TRAFFIC IS BAD ENOUGH AS
IT IS, BUT WITH THIS CLOSURE,
IT’S REALLY GOING TO BACK IT UP.
>> 14 MILE IS CLOSED BETWEEN
FARMINGTON ROAD AND ORCHARD
LAKE.
14 MILE, A CITY PROJECT.
ORCHARD LAKE IS THROUGH THE
COUNTY.
THE ROAD COMMISSION FOR OAKLAND
COUNTY SAYS IT’S UNFORTUNATE
THESE CLOSURES ARE HAPPENING AT
THE SAME TIME, BUT IT WAS NOW OR
NEVER AND THE REPAIRS ARE
NECESSARY.
>> YOU KNOW, WE ALSO HAVE
FEDERAL FUNDING, PAYING THE
MAJORITY OF THE COSTS OF THE
PROJECT.
IF WE DON’T USE IT THIS YEAR.
>> REGARDLESS, IT’S A LONG EIGHT
MONTHS WITH THE BUSINESSES AND
PROJECTS SCHEDULED TO END IN
NOVEMBER.
NOT TO MENTION THE WAR IN
UKRAINE ALSO AFFECTING
BUSINESSES LIKE SUNRISE CAFE.
>> EVERYTHING WENT UP.
I MEAN, EVERYTHING.
FROM, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING FROM
CONDIMENTS TO THE MEATS.
>> OWNER MIKE IS CONFIDENT HIS
LOYAL CUSTOMERS WILL GET THEM
THROUGH IT.
>> THEY’RE JUST--
THEY’RE GREAT TO US.
EVERYBODY SUPPORTS US, THEY WERE
SUPPORTING US DURING COVID AND I
THINK THEY’LL SUPPORT US AND
TAKE EXTRA TIME TO GO AROUND THE
MILES TO COME HERE.
>> ANOTHER CONCERN THE OWNERS
HAVE IS PATIO SEASON.
THEY SAY DURING THE SUMMER THIS
AREA CAN HOLD UP TO 15 PEOPLE AT
A TIME, BUT WITH THE LOUD
MACHINERY, THAT COMES WITH
CONSTRUCTION, THEY FEAR THAT
CUSTOMERS WILL OPT TO GO
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
>> IN FARMINGTON HILLS, KIM BEE

DEGUIEL IGIULIO
DIGIULIO, LOCAL 4.
>> AND WATER PROJECTS, MONEY
WILL GO TOWARD HELPING KEEP THE
WATER CLEAN FOR SWIMMING AND
FISHING, MANAGE THE FLOW OF
SEWAGE TO PREVENT THE FLOODING
OF ROADS AND HOMES DURING HEAVY
RAINS, AND REPLACE LEAD PIPES TO
KEEP CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
HEALTHY.
>> OUR CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO
ENJOY OUR WATER, TO BE ABLE TO
FEEL SAFE IN OUR HOMES WITHOUT
WORRYING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF
THERE’S A MAJOR STORM, AND TO BE
ABLE TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT ON
OUR ROADS IN TERMS OF FLOODING.
SO, I’M REALLY PLEASED TO HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO CHAMPION THESE
PROJECTS AND THAT WE WERE ABLE
TO GET THEM THROUGH.
