NO MATTER HOW YOU SHAKE IT, IT’S
A LOT OF MONEY TODAY. GOVERNOR
WHITMER SIGNED A $22 BILLION
BIPARTISAN EDUCATION BILL IN THE
LAW, LARGEST OF ITS KIND EVER IN
MICHIGAN GOES WELL BEYOND JUST
THE CLASSROOM. LET’S BRING IN
ROD MELONI LIVE TONIGHT WITH
MORE ON WHERE THAT MONEY IS
GOING TO GO, ROD. WELL, DEVIN,
YOU KNOW THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS
ALWAYS WANTED TO SPEND IT THIS
KIND OF MONEY ON EDUCATION, AND
SHE GETS TO DO THAT. NOW SHE IN
THE LEGISLATURE ARE GOING TO
SPEND THE FIRST FIVE BILLION ON
COLLEGES, BUT THE REST GOES TO
THE REST OF THE EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM. GOVERNOR GRETCHEN
WHITMER TRAVELED TO FLINT SMART
COMMUNITY COLLEGE TODAY TO SIGN
WHAT AMOUNTS TO WHEN
HISTORICALLY LARGE EDUCATION
BUDGET. THE BIPARTISAN DEAL
STRUCK BECAUSE LANSING IS AWASH
AND COVID CASH THE GOVERNOR
TODAY SAYING, I’M GRATEFUL TO MY
DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN
FRIENDS IN THE LEGISLATURE FOR
WORKING WITH ME TO GET THIS
DONE. WE CRAFTED AN EDUCATION
BUDGET AFTER COUNTLESS
CONVERSATIONS WITH PARENTS AND
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AND
ADMINISTRATORS AND EXPERTS.
HERE’S HOW IT’S PARCELED OUT.
19.6 BILLION GOES TO K THROUGH
12 ON A PER PUPIL BASIS. IT’S A
RECORD SMASHING 9100 AND $50
THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR. 450
MORE THAN LAST YEAR AND AN
OVERALL INCREASE OF 630 MILLION
. IT PROVIDES $214 PER PEOPLE
MENTAL HEALTH SPENDING HALF A
BILLION DOLLARS EACH WILL GO
TOWARDS WHAT ARE KNOWN AS
SUPPORTS EXTRA ASSISTANCE FOR
THE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED
AND SPECIAL ED STUDENTS. TO
ATTRACT NEW TEACHERS. THERE’S
THE MICHIGAN FUTURE EDUCATOR
FELLOWSHIP INCLUDED OFFERING
$10,000 A YEAR IN TUITION TO
ASPIRING TEACHERS AND FOR THE
TEACHERS ALREADY IN THE PIPELINE
OUT DOING THEIR STUDENT TEACHING
A 96 $100 STIPEND AS AN
INCENTIVE TO STAY IN THE
CLASSROOM. AND FINALLY, SCHOOL
BUILDINGS WILL GET IN THERE HALF
BILLION DOLLAR FACELIFT AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WILL SEE HALF
A BILLION DOLLARS MORE. HOUSE
REPUBLICAN JOE BELLINO SAID
TODAY THAT WHILE THIS IS A GREAT
BUDGET, LET’S NOT GET USED TO
THIS KIND OF SPENDING IN THE
FUTURE. IT’S AN HISTORIC BUDGET
. BUT OBVIOUSLY IN THIS BUDGET,
THERE’S A LOT OF ITEMS THAT ARE
ONE TIME THINGS THAT I DON’T SEE
HAPPENING YEAR TO YEAR TO YEAR
THE NEXT 10 YEARS. WELL, THERE
IS $7 BILLION IN COVID MONEY
LEFT BEHIND AND LEFT STILL TO BE
SPENT. IN THE MEANTIME, THE
STATE IS ACTUALLY SEEING HIGHER
REVENUES FROM THINGS LIKE ONLINE
GAMBLING FROM MARIJUANA AND FROM
A LOTTERY TAXES. AND SO THAT’S
HELPFUL. BUT THEN AGAIN, THERE
IS INFLATION, SO WE’LL HAVE TO
SEE WHAT ALL OF THIS DOES TO
SCHOOL BUDGETS. GOING FORWARD
DEVIN BACTERIA THAT’S JUST PART
OF IT, BECAUSE SO THE EDUCATION
BUDGET IS NOW FINISHED FOR THE
YEAR. WHAT ARE WE HEARING ABOUT
THE GOVERNOR SIGNING? THE
OVERALL STATE BUDGET. WELL SHE’S
PRETTY HAPPY ABOUT THAT, TOO
BIPARTISAN BILL, AND SHE’S
SAYING THAT SHE’S PROBABLY GOING
TO SIGN THAT NEXT WEEK. WE WILL
STAY FOLLOWING IT. ALL RIGHT,
ROD OTHER NEWS TONIGHT. A MAN IS
SENTENCED IN A MURDER OF A WELL
KNOWN SALON OWNER, JIMMY PICKET
, WAS SENTENCED TO 45 TO 60
YEARS IN PRISON ON SECOND DEGREE
MURDER CHARGES. HE KILLED BASHAR
HALIBUT IN A MOTEL ROOM ON EIGHT
MILE IN DETROIT, THEN STOLE FROM
HIM. CALLEBAUT WAS A WELL KNOWN
HAIRDRESSER FROM BLOOMFIELD
HILLS. INVESTIGATORS THINK HE
USED A DATING. APP TO MEET
PICKET. PROSECUTORS SAY THIS
CASE HIGHLIGHTS THE DANGER
FACING MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ
COMMUNITY. THE FORMER PRESIDENT
OF THE MADISON HEIGHTS SCHOOL
BOARD IS FACING BRIBERY CHARGES
. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYS
ALBERT MORRISON WAS PAID MORE
THAN $560,000 IN BRIBES FROM THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS CONTRACTOR JOHN
DAVID. INVESTIGATORS SAY AN
EXCHANGE MORRISON GAVE DAVID
SCHOOL CONTRACTS WORTH MORE THAN
$3 MILLION. MORRISON IS ACCUSED
OF LYING TO THE SCHOOL BOARD
WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT IT AND NOT
PAYING TAXES ON THE MONEY. BOTH
MEN ARE FACING CHARGES.
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS IN THE MIDDLE
EAST. HIS FIRST TRIP THERE SINCE
TAKING OFFICE. FIRST STOP WAS
ISRAEL WHERE HE REAFFIRMED HIS U
. S PARTNERSHIP WITH THAT NATION
, TWO SIDES AGREEING ON THE
THREAT IRAN POSES SIGNING A
JOINT DECLARATION TO KEEP IRAN
FROM GETTING A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS HE HOPES
IRAN WILL REJOIN THE 2015
NUCLEAR DEAL. BUT THE U. S AND
ISRAEL DIFFER IN THEIR APPROACH
TO IRAN. I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE
THAT DIPLOMACY IS THE BEST WAY
TO ACHIEVE THIS OUTCOME. WORDS
WILL NOT STOP THEM. MR PRESIDENT
DIPLOMACY WILL NOT STOP THEM.
THE ONLY THING THAT WILL STOP
IRAN IS KNOWING THAT IF THEY
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THEIR
NUCLEAR PROGRAM THE FREE WORLD
WILL USE FORCE. PRESIDENT BIDEN
WILL TRAVEL TO SAUDI ARABIA
TOMORROW, HOPING TO ENCOURAGE
MORE OIL PRODUCTION IS GAS
PRICES REMAIN HIGH. BUT THAT
VISIT DRAWING CRITICISM BECAUSE
OF RECENT HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN
THE COUNTRY. INCLUDING OF
COURSE, MOST NOTABLY THE 2018
MURDER OF WASHINGTON POST
JOURNALIST JAMAL SHOJI. IF ON A.
TRUMP THE FIRST WIFE OF DONALD
TRUMP HAS DIED. THE FAMILY SAYS
SHE DIED AT HER HOME IN NEW YORK
CITY, BUT A CAUSE OF DEATH HAS
NOT BEEN RELEASED. IVANA WAS
DONALD TRUMP’S FIRST WIFE AND
THE MOTHER TO DONALD JR. IVANKA
AND ERIC TRUMP. IN A STATEMENT,
THE TRUMP FAMILY CALLED HER A
FORCE IN BUSINESS, WORLD CLASS
ATHLETE AND CARING MOTHER. SHE
WAS 73. THE GRASS HADN’T BEEN
CUT FOR MONTHS. A MAN LIVING ON
DETROIT’S EAST SIDE PLEADED TO
ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN TO HELP
GET THE CITY TO STEP IN AND MOW
THE LAWN. TODAY IT FINALLY
HAPPENED AND OUR VICTOR WILLIAMS
WAS THERE. WELL, YOU CAN TELL
FROM THE PLANT STACKED UP ON THE
SIDE OF THE ROLE THAT THESE
WORKERS ARE FINALLY STARTING TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THIS
PROPERTY. RIGHT HERE ON BENETEAU
. YOU CAN SEE THEM WORKING TO
CLEAR THE AREA OUT AS WE SPEAK.
AND AS YOU GUYS CAN IMAGINE, MR
HOLLOWAY COULD NOT BE MORE HAPPY
. LOOK MUCH BETTER. FIVE YEAR
OLD KENNETH HOLLOWAY COULD BE
JUMPING FOR JOY AT THE WORK. THE
CITY HAS STEPPED UP TO DO,
CLEANING AND CUTTING THE
OVERGROWN GRASS AT THE VACANT
HOME NEXT DOOR. I HOPE THEY
CONTINUE, AND I HOPE WE CAN GO A
LITTLE FARTHER IF THEY DON’T
RESPOND ON THE COURT DATE THAT
THEY WERE GOING ON AND DO WHAT
THEY HAVE TO DO. THE OWNER OF
THE HOME IS FACING AN UPCOMING
COURT DATE AND AT LEAST $1000 IN
FINES FOR THE NEGLECTFUL
CONDITION OF THE GRASS IN THE
FRONT AND BACKYARD. BUT MR
HOLLOWAY SAYS THIS IS AT LEAST A
START. WE’VE BEEN COMPLAINING
ABOUT UP AND DOWN THE STREET
WITH PROPERTY ON HERE AND THE
ONLY WAY WE HAVE TO GET OUR
COMMUNITY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BACK
TOGETHER. IF WE WORK TOGETHER,
CHIEF ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
JESSICA PARKER SAYS HER
DEPARTMENT WILL BE WORKING ON
ANY OTHER ISSUES THEY CAN FIND
AS LONG AS THEY’RE ALERTED, BUT
THE OWNER WILL FACE EVEN MORE
CONSEQUENCES OF THE NECESSARY
WORK GOES UNDONE. MORE TICKETS
ISSUED AND SHE’LL GET A LETTER
FROM THE LAW DEPARTMENT AND IN
THE MEANTIME, WE CONTACT OUR
SISTER AGENCY. GST TYPICALLY
COME OUT AND THEY RESPOND BY
REMOVING THE BLIGHT SO THAT THE
COMMUNITY CAN FEEL LIKE THE CITY
IS HERE. MR HOLLOWAY IS JUST SO
EXCITED. HE WILL SOON BE ABLE TO
BE COMFORTABLE IN HIS BACKYARD.
EVEN SAYING FOR US NOTHING. GIRL
YOU MAKE ME FEEL REAL GOOD.
THANK CHINA FOR COMING OUT AND
PUSHING THIS ISSUE THAT I HAD.
AND WE’RE PRETTY HAPPY FOR MR
HOLLOWAY OURSELVES. AND IF
ANYONE OUT THERE IS FACING A
SIMILAR SITUATION, THEY CAN
CONTACT THE CITY BECAUSE,
REMEMBER IF THEY HAVE NO IDEA
THAT THIS IS GOING ON. THEY
CAN’T HELP SO THAT NUMBER IS
GOING TO BE 313-298 SIX TO 8 TO
451 WILL GIVE IT OUT ONCE MORE
313-962 EIGHT TO 451 VICTOR
WILLIAMS, LOCAL 4 WITH A SONG IN
HIS HEART, BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
WE’RE OFF AND RUNNING ON A
THURSDAY. LET’S CHECK IN WITH
PAUL GROSS TELL YOU IT’S BEEN A
BEAUTIFUL DAY, AND IT IS GOING
TO BE A BEAUTIFUL EVENING.
YOU’RE GETTING OUT THE GRILL.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS. YOU
REALLY WANT TO DO SOME
BARBECUING. WE’RE GOING TO BE
DROPPING THROUGH THE SEVENTIES
THIS EVENING LIGHT WIND. PLENTY
OF SUNSHINE, HOWEVER. YOU HAVE
SOME CHANGES TO THE WEEKEND
FORECAST. WE’VE HAD TO ADD A
LITTLE MORE RAIN CHANCES AND
WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT STRAIGHT
AHEAD. THEY’VE BEEN THREATENED.
THEIR FAMILIES HAVE BEEN
THREATENED, OFTEN IN GRAPHIC.
VIOLENT IMAGES COMING UP WHY THE
STATE ISN’T DOING ANYTHING TO
PROTECT OUR ELECTION WORKERS AND
WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. THEY
REPLACED THOUSANDS OF DANGEROUS
PIPES HERE, FLINT, BUT THEY LEFT
BEHIND BIG MESSES LIKE THIS ONE
ALL OVER THE CITY, AND THE CLOCK
IS TICKING TO GET THE REPAIR
WORK DONE. I’M HANK WINCHESTER.
