WE’RE STANDING RIGHT NOW. A MAN
A 69 YEAR OLD MAN WAS KILLED. A

REPORTING LIVE IN CANTON. I’M

DISTURBING, PAMELA. THANK YOU.
WE ARE WORKING TO LEARN MORE AS
WELL ABOUT THE VICTIMS OF A
TRIPLE SHOOTING IN DETROIT.
POLICE SAY THAT ONE MAN WAS
KILLED AND A MAN AND A WOMAN
HURT. IN A SHOOTING ON DETROIT’S
WEST SIDE. THEY WERE FOUND
INSIDE OF A CAR ON LAUDER NEAR I
96 THE SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY LAST
NIGHT. WE DON’T KNOW THE
CONDITIONS OF THE TWO VICTIMS IN
MY TRUCK HAULING CARS HITS A
BRIDGE ON I 2 75 IN MONROE
COUNTY. TAKE A LOOK. SKY FOUR
WAS OVER THE SOUTH BEND LANES
THAT TELEGRAPH AND THAT’S THE
BRIDGE, AND THAT’S THE DAMAGE
WHERE TWO LANES WERE SHUT DOWN
FOR A PERIOD THIS MORNING.
DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE, YOU
CAN SEE ONE OF THE CARS THAT IT
WAS KNOCKED OFF OF THAT SEMI AND
AT LEAST ONE OTHER WAS DAMAGED
AS WELL. STATE POLICE SAY THAT
THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE
BRIDGE ITSELF. BOTH THE BRIDGE
AND ALL THE LINES OF THE
FREEWAYS HAVE SINCE REOPENED.
AND STAYING ON METRO DETROIT
FREEWAYS. ONE PERSON IS KILLED
IN A CRASH WITH A SMART BUS THAT
MAY HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF DRAG
RACING. IT HAPPENED ON THE
SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY NEAR EIGHT
MILE LAST NIGHT. POLICE SAY THAT
ONE CAR WAS SPEEDING AND CRASHED
INTO THE BACK OF A SMART BOSS.
THE DRIVER OF THE BUS SAYS THAT
IT APPEARED TO HAPPEN WHILE
MULTIPLE CARS WERE RACING.
POLICE FOUND A CAR ON FIRE AND A
BODY INSIDE THE IDENTITY OF THE
DRIVER IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME,
DETROIT IS LAUNCHING A NEW
PROGRAM. TO REMOVE DEAD AND
DANGEROUS TREES FROM YARDS. THE
CITY IS TAKING NEARLY $9 MILLION
IN BUDGET SURPLUS TO FUND THE
DEAD DANGEROUS AND DISEASE TREE
PROGRAM. PEOPLE CAN REPORT TREES
AND THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY AND
HAVE THEM TRIMMED OR REMOVED AT
NO COST TO THE HOMEOWNER. THE
CITY THINKS THAT IT CAN TARGET
1500 TREES, CITY COUNCIL
PRESIDENT PRO TEM JAMES HATE
SAYS HE UNDERSTANDS THE NEED.
AND I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE WHO’S
HAD WHO HAS A TREE IN FRONT OF
MY HOME AND I HAD DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE FOR A NUMBER OF
YEARS, AND IT’S COST ME $7000
JUST TO TRIM THAT TREE. MANY
RESIDENTS ARE NOT BLESSED TO BE
IN A POSITION TO DO THAT, UH,
AND FOR YOU KNOW, THE DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE CONTINUES THROUGHOUT
THE YEARS. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE
TO HAVE A TREE REMOVED. IT’S A
PILOT PROGRAM, BUT THE CITY
COUNCIL IS HOPING TO MAKE IT A
PERMANENT ONE. THIS AFTERNOON,
THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS EXPECTED
TO RAISE INTEREST RATES FOR 1/10
TIME, AND THIS TIME THE HIKE IS
EXPECTED TO BE A QUARTER POINT.
FEDERAL RESERVE OFFICIALS ARE
FACING TWO COMPETING ECONOMIC
TRENDS. THERE IS TURMOIL IN THE
BANKING SECTOR AND A POLITICAL
BATTLE OVER THE BORROWING LIMIT
, BUT INFLATION IS STILL HIGHER
THAN THE FED WOULD LIKE. THE
ANNOUNCEMENT IS EXPECTED ABOUT
TWO HOURS, SO WE WILL LET YOU
KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. AND WE KNOW
THAT FINANCES ARE TOP OF MIND
FOR SO MANY PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.
IT’S JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
HELPED ME. HANK HEARS FROM MOST
OF OUR VISITORS THAT COME TO HIS
RESTAURANT MEETINGS THIS
AFTERNOON. HANK IS AT VINNIE’S
BRUNCH AND CLINTON TOWNSHIP. AND
HOW’S THE RESPONSE? BEEN THERE,
HANK? HEY ROD. IT HAS BEEN
FANTASTIC. I TOLD YOU I WAS
EXCITED TO HIT THIS SPOT BECAUSE
I HEARD FROM A LOT OF OUR
VIEWERS ABOUT THE MENU. I MEAN,
LOOK AT THIS MENU. SO MANY
OPTIONS. DON’T WORRY. WE’VE
ALREADY ORDERED OUR FOOD LIKE
MANY OF OUR LOCAL 4 VIEWERS HERE
IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP. AS YOU
KNOW, RHONDA, YOU HIT THE NAIL
ON THE HEAD. A LOT OF PEOPLE
STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE
FINANCIAL SITUATION NOT ONLY
HERE IN METRO DETROIT BUT ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. HEARING FROM PEOPLE
ABOUT SCAMS THAT THEY ARE
WORRIED ABOUT. ALSO BATTLES WITH
THEIR LANDLORDS, MANAGEMENT
COMPANIES. YOU NAME IT. I MEAN,
THESE ARE THE ISSUES THAT SO
MANY PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH
EVERY DAY, AND THAT’S WHAT
HELPED ME. HEY, BECAUSE ALL
ABOUT WORKING TO RESOLVE THESE
PROBLEMS AND THESE CONCERNS FOR
PEOPLE ALL OVER METRO DETROIT
NOW LISTEN, WE’RE GOING TO HANG
OUT HERE AT VINNIE’S FOR A WHILE
. WE JUST GOT HERE AROUND 11
A.M. WE’RE GOING TO HANG OUT FOR
A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO TALK TO EVERYBODY. AND FOR
WHATEVER REASON, YOU’RE NOT ABLE
TO MAKE IT OUT HERE ON HAUL ROAD
TODAY, I’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM
YOU. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT
WAYS YOU CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH
ME DIRECTLY. AGAIN THE GOAL HERE
IS TO HELP SOLVE YOUR CONSUMER
ISSUES. MAKE LIFE A LITTLE BIT
EASIER FOR EVERYBODY RIGHT NOW,
RHONDA, WE’RE GOING TO THROW A
LITTLE BIT OF A LUNCH ORDER IN
HERE AGAIN. WE’RE VINNIE’S
BRUNCH AND LUNCH HALL ROAD.
CLINTON TOWNSHIP. WE’RE GOING TO

FOLKS HAVE COME. THEY HAVE
TALKED TO YOU AND YOU’VE GOTTEN
HELP FOR THEM, WHICH IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART OF THE REASON
YOU’RE DOING THIS. THANKS A LOT,
HANK. OKAY? WELL IT’S BEEN
ANOTHER GLOOMY START, BUT ASHLEY
IS PROMISING. IT WILL BE THE
LAST AS WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK AT
HARBOR WHERE IT DOESN’T LOOK TOO
BAD RIGHT NOW, AT LEAST WE’VE
KIND OF MOVED THE RAIN OUT, BUT
METEOROLOGISTS ASHLEE BARACY
JOINS US NOW WITH WHAT’S COMING
OUR WAY NEXT, WHICH I PRAISE
SUNSHINE. WE WILL HAVE SUNSHINE
TO ROUND OUT THE WORK WEEK, BUT
THE PESKY RAIN CLOUDS ARE JUST
HANGING TIGHT A LITTLE LONGER
THAN WE WOULD LIKE. TODAY WE’RE
ON THE BACK EDGE OF THIS LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM SO YOU CAN SEE
OVERCAST SKIES DRAPING LOWER
MICHIGAN AND STILL A LITTLE BIT
OF MOISTURE FIND MR DRIZZLE.
THAT WE’RE ENCOUNTERING RIGHT
NOW AT THE LUNCH HOUR, SO WE’RE
GOING TO ZOOM IN JUST A LITTLE
BIT CLOSER TO EXACT TRACK 40
PACKETS OF SOME MORE MODERATE
SHOWERS. A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH
THAT SHE GOES. THIS IS GOING TO
BE IN A RAY TOWNSHIP ARMADA AND
NORTH OF TOWARDS I 69 AS WE
TRAVEL LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH,
THOUGH, INTO THE HARD METRO
DETROIT PARK, BERKELEY,
ROCHESTER, DEALING WITH SOME OF
THOSE LIGHTER SHOWERS AND A
LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH INTO
DEARBORN AND MELVIN DALE. EVEN
LINCOLN PARK LIVONIA COULD BE
DEALING WITH A LIGHT SPRINKLE OR
TWO. THESE CLOUDS ARE SUPPOSED
TO BE PUSHING OUT, THOUGH
STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BREAK
IN THE CLOUDS HERE IN DETROIT,
48 IN THE CITY, 49 IN AN ARBOR
48 PORT HURON. 50 IN ADRIAN, BUT
IT’S BEEN PRETTY WINDY AND RAINY
TO START THE DAY AND WILL HOLD
ON TO THE BREEZE THROUGHOUT THE
AFTERNOON. AS THOSE SHOWERS WILL
DISSIPATE. AFTERNOON HIGH TODAY
. 54 DEGREES SO STILL ABOUT 10
DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE, BUT IT’S
A SMALL IMPROVEMENT FROM THE
LAST FEW DAYS, MUCH BIGGER
IMPROVEMENT AS WE LOOK AT THIS
TEMPERATURE TREND WHERE WE GET
INTO THE SIXTIES AND EVEN
SEVENTIES BY THE TIME WE HIT THE
WEEKEND, I’M GOING TO TIME OUT.
HOW LONG THE SUNSHINE LAST IN
YOUR FULL FORECAST, BUT IF
YOU’RE HEADING OUT FOR THE REST
