AMAZING CENTRAL LOCATION. IT’S A
BEAUTIFUL SMALL TOWN FEEL. I
FELL IN LOVE WITH IT, BUT THAT
DREAM WENT UP IN FLAMES TUESDAY
NIGHT. HOLLY HOTEL IS STILL
STANDING BUT HAS WATER DAMAGE
INSIDE. THE OWNERS SAY IT’S THE
HOTEL’S THIRD FIRE. ONE WAS IN
1913, THE OTHER IN 1978, THE
FIRE CHIEF, THAT IS FIRE CHIEF
NOW WAS THAT HE WAS A VERY YOUNG
FIREMEN TO THE FIRE IN 1978. AND
HE’S HERE AGAIN. AND HE SAID I
DIDN’T WANT TO SEE THAT ROOF GO
UP AGAIN AND HE SAID THEY

HELPFUL AND ACCOMMODATING DURING
THE SUPER DIFFICULT TIME, AND

DIFFERENCE OUT THERE IF YOU HAVE
PLANS OUTSIDE IT’S A LOT LESS
HUMID TODAY HELPS AND BRETT A
FEW DEGREES OFF OF WHERE WE WERE
YESTERDAY TO TEMPERATURE DOWN,
BUT LIKE YOU SAID, IT’S THE
HUMIDITY THAT WE’RE REALLY
FEELING THE DIFFERENCE. AND WHEN
WE LOOK AT THAT WE LOOK AT DUKE
POINT TEMPERATURE. THIS MAP JUST
SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH DIFFERENT
FEELS TODAY COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY. THIS NUMBER 5 TO 15
DEGREES LOWER COMPARED TO 24
HOURS AGO. IT DOES FLUCTUATE A
BIT OVER THE COMING DAYS BEFORE
GOING BACK UP. WHEN THAT RAIN
RETURNS ON SUNDAY. IN THE
MEANTIME, THAT TEMPERATURE IS
STILL SITTING IN THE EIGHTIES.
STILL 91 AT CITY AIRPORT 87.
HOWELL 85 OUT IN ANN ARBOR THIS

PRETTY TOASTY OUT THERE. SO STAY
COOL IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE OUT,
BUT NOTICE HOW QUICKLY NUMBERS
FALL. WITH THE CLEAR SKIES AND
DRY AIR AND PLACE. IT’S SUNDAY
THAT WE’RE EXPECTING RAIN AND
IT’S GOING TO BE IMPACTFUL.
WE’LL TALK TIMING IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES. THANK YOU. A TRAGIC
UPDATE TO A STORY. WE FIRST
BROUGHT YOU YESTERDAY AT SIX.
ROSEVILLE POLICE SAY THE 11
MONTH OLD LITTLE BOY ABUSED BY A
BABYSITTER HAS DIED,
INVESTIGATORS SAY CAMERA, HODGES
ADMITTED TO THE PHYSICAL ABUSE.
THE BABY WAS RUSHED TO THE
HOSPITAL LAST WEEK WITH SEVERE
HEAD TRAUMA. AND TODAY WE
LEARNED THE BABY DID NOT MAKE
IT. HODGES WAS ORIGINALLY
CHARGED WITH CHILD ABUSE, BUT
NOW POLICE ARE ASKING THE
PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE TO ENHANCE
THOSE CHARGES. TONIGHT THERE IS
A DEBATE ABOUT THE PROPOSED GUN
RANGE IN WASHINGTON COUNTY, ALL
BECAUSE OF WHAT’S ACROSS THE
STREET, ALL CENTERED ON
NORTHFIELD AND NORTHVILLE
TOWNSHIP, A TOWNSHIP NORTH OF
ANN ARBOR. THE GUN TESTING
FACILITY WOULD BE ACROSS FROM ON
EQUESTRIAN CENTER ON SEVEN MILE
THE CENTERS OWNER WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT THE NOISE MIGHT MEAN FOR
THEIR HORSES AND THE PEOPLE WHO
RIDE THEM. GRANT HERMES THERE
LIVE TO WALK US THROUGH THEIR
CONCERNS, GRANT DE’VEON KIMBERLY
IS MORE THAN JUST THAT HORSE
CENTER. THIS IS THAT LOT HERE
WHERE THAT GUN RANGE IS SUPPOSED
TO GO. WANT TO SET THE SENIOR
FOR YOU? JUST TO MY LEFT THREE
DIFFERENT HOUSES DOWN THE ROAD,
A NEW HOUSE BEING BUILT ACROSS
THE STREET HERE ACROSS THE
STREET HOUSE THAT’S ALREADY
THERE AND DOWN THE ROAD IS WHERE
THAT HORSE CENTER IS NEIGHBORS
WHO SAY THEY ARE MORE THAN JUST
WORRIED THEY’RE DOWNRIGHT
SCARED. THE GUN RANGE WOULD BE
CONSIDERED AN OPTICS RESEARCH
RANGE FOR HIGH POWERED RIFLES
BASED LEAP EAR’S INC. THE
COMPANY’S WEBSITE, POSTING A
NUMBER OF SO CALLED TACTICAL
EQUIPMENT FOR GUNS TRIED
REACHING LEADERS TODAY BUT DID
NOT GET A COMMENT BACK. THE
NORTHFIELD TOWNSHIP PLANNING
COMMITTEE SIGNED OFF ON THE
RANGE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW HIGH
POWERED RIFLES TO BE SHOT
BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8 34 33
DAYS A WEEK, BUT NEIGHBORS HAVE
SERIOUS CONCERNS LIKE CASEY
DAVIES LLOYD, WHO TRAINS HORSES
JUST DOWN THE ROAD, WHO SAYS
THEY WERE KEPT IN THE DARK ABOUT
THE PLANS. WE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
FROM THE ZONING SIGN THAT WAS
POSTED ON THEIR PROPERTY. UM AND
THAT OBVIOUSLY CAUSED A STIR
WITHIN THE BARN. LLOYD IS A
TRAINER AT OASIS EQUESTRIAN
CENTER, WHERE SHE LEASES STABLES
. NOW FEARFUL OF WHAT DAYS
FILLED WITH GUNSHOTS WOULD MEAN
FOR HER THREE HORSES WHEN
THEY’RE SPOOKED BY A LOUD NOISE
SUCH AS A GUNSHOT. AH THEIR
INSTINCT IS TO TAKE OFF THE ALSO
TRAINS RIDERS, MANY OF THEM
CHILDREN AND TEENS AND IS AN
INSTRUCTOR. IS TO KEEP THOSE
KIDS SAFE AND TO TEACH THEM HOW
TO DO THINGS PROPERLY. UM SO
HAVING A GUN RANGE OR EVENT
FACILITY OR WHATEVER THEY’RE
CALLING. IT PROPOSED TO MOVE IN
THAT CLOSE TO MY FACILITY MAKES
MY JOB. IMMENSELY MORE
DIFFICULT. AND CASEY IS ALSO
WORRIED ABOUT HER LIVELIHOOD.
SHE SAYS SHE MAY HAVE TO MOVE
FROM THE OASIS CENTER REFER
APPLIANCE AND WRITERS DON’T FEEL
SAFE THERE OR IF SHE DOESN’T
FEEL SAFE. THERE ARE HORSES
DON’T FEEL SAFE THERE. ALSO TALK
TO THE OWNER OF OASIS TODAY BY
PHONE HE WAS OUT OF TOWN. BUT HE
SAID HE’S WORRIED THAT HIS
LIVELIHOOD IS AT STAKE AS WELL
AS PROPERTY VALUES, SAID HE WAS
TRYING TO SELL PART OF HIS LAND
AND BUYERS WALKED AWAY BECAUSE
OF WHAT WOULD GO UP ON THIS LAND
HERE. BACK TO YOU, GRANT. WHAT
DO WE RECKON IT’S GOING TO
HAPPEN HERE? NEXT? SEEMS LIKE
NEIGHBORS WANT TO PUT A STOP TO
IT. THEY DO BUT RIGHT NOW.
EVERYTHING IS UP IN THE AIR OF
LAST. I TALKED THAT OWNER, HE
SAID THAT THIS NOW GOES TO THE
TOWNSHIP BOARD OF CHRISTIE’S,
AND THEY SAY THAT THEIR HANDS
ARE PRETTY MUCH TIED BY TOWNSHIP
ORDINANCE, WHICH MEANS A GUN
RANGE WILL GO HERE UNLESS
SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS. THE NEXT
MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES IS JUNE
28TH DE’VEON. HELP ME HANK TEAM
IS LOOKING INTO HOW PRESIDENT
BIDEN’S PROPOSAL TO SUSPEND THE
FEDERAL GAS TAX WOULD IMPACT YOU
JUST DID ANOTHER SCAN OF
GASOLINE PRICES AROUND METRO
DETROIT DRIVERS IN OAKLAND
COUNTY ARE PAYING THE HIGHEST
PRICES IN THE AREA AT 5 29 IN
WAYNE AND MACOMB COUNTIES
DRIVERS ARE PAYING ABOUT 5 21.
HANK WINCHESTER IS LIVE IN
SOUTHFIELD TONIGHT, HANK.
GOVERNOR WHITMER IS TALKING
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S MOVE
TODAY. YEP, THE GOVERNOR’S
SPEAKING OUT, AND OBVIOUSLY WE
HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT EARLIER
TODAY. LET’S TAKE A LIVE LOOK AT
THE NUMBERS HERE IN SOUTHFIELD,
WHERE 13 IN SOUTHFIELD ROAD
CLOCKING IN AT 5 29. IF THE
PRESIDENT’S PLAN MOVES FORWARD,
AND THIS IS A BIG IF THE AVERAGE
DRIVER DRIVING THE AVERAGE
VEHICLE WOULD SAVE ABOUT $2.25.
HERE’S THE DEAL. EVERY LITTLE
BIT HELPS. TODAY THE PRICE IS
AROUND METRO DETROIT HOVERING
AROUND 5 20 A GALLON NOW A MOVE
BY THE PRESIDENT TO PUT SOME
MORE MONEY BACK IN YOUR POCKET
WHILE YOU’RE AT THE PUMP, BUT
PEOPLE LIKE JESUS HANAYA OF
DETROIT. HE DOESN’T THINK IT’S
ENOUGH, THE PRESIDENT SAYING
YOU’RE GOING TO SAVE ROUGHLY
ABOUT $2 EACH TIME YOU FILL UP A
STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OR
MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE. $2 EVERY
TIME. YEAH WHAT’S $2 TO, YOU
KNOW, PUMPING 30 MORE FOR FULL
SAYING, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
REAL NUMBERS. THE MOVE BY
PRESIDENT BIDEN TO TEMPORARILY
SUSPEND THE FEDERAL GAS TAX
MEANS THAT IT WOULD SAVE YOU
ROUGHLY 18.4 CENTS IN FEDERAL
TAX FOR REGULAR GAS 24.4 CENTS
FOR DIESEL FUEL. THE TYPICAL
DRIVER WITH A 15 GALLON TANK
WOULD SAVE ABOUT $2.21 EVERY
TIME YOU FILL UP RIGHT NOW. THE
AVERAGE GAS PRICE IN MICHIGAN 5
13 NATIONALLY FOR 95, THE
GOVERNOR RECENTLY SHARED THIS
MESSAGE ON TWITTER SENT A LETTER
TO PRESIDENT BIDEN DEBATE URGING
HIM TO TEMPORARILY PAUSE THE
FEDERAL GAS TAX. GETTING THIS
DONE WITH STATE MICHIGAN MONEY
RIGHT NOW AND TODAY. GOVERNOR
WHITMER, ALSO SAYING SHE
SUPPORTS SUSPENDING THE STATE’S
GAS TAX THAT WOULD PUMP AN EXTRA
50 CENTS PER GALLON RIGHT INTO
YOUR POCKET. BACK OUT HERE LIVE.
SO WHETHER WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
THE GOVERNOR’S PLAN HERE IN
MICHIGAN OR THE PRESIDENT’S PLAN
, THEY CAN’T ACT ON THEIR OWN.
THEY’RE GONNA NEED SUPPORT FROM
ACROSS THE AISLE UNCLEAR AS TO
WHETHER THAT’S ACTUALLY GOING TO
HAPPEN IS GRANDMA WINCHESTER
WOULD SAY DON’T COUNT YOUR
CHICKENS UNTIL THEY’RE HATCHED.
WE ALL HAVE TO KEEP BUDGETING
AND SAVING UNTIL THERE IS SOME
RELIEF HERE AT THE PUMP THAT GOT
US THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT
WE’RE ALL DEALING WITH.
OBVIOUSLY THESE RISING PRICES SO
TOMORROW AT FIVE O’CLOCK HELP ME
HATE SPECIAL REPORT. WE’RE
TALKING WITH GAS STATION OWNERS
AND PEOPLE RIGHT ON THE FRONT
LINES. HOW ARE THESE PRICES
BEING SET? ALSO ARE THEY MAKING
A LOT OF MONEY RIGHT NOW?
BECAUSE IT’S CONSUMERS ARE
SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY. OR YOU
MAY BE SURPRISED TO SEE WHAT
REALLY PLAYS OUT HERE. WE’RE
DOING THE MATH. WE’RE CRUNCHING.
THE NUMBERS WILL SEE A LIVE
THURSDAY AT FIVE O’CLOCK FOR
NOW. WE’RE LIVE HERE IN
SOUTHFIELD. HANK WINCHESTER.
