DETROIT MAN LEARNS HIS SENTENCE
IN A ROAD RAGE SHOOTING THAT
KILLED A DETROIT FIRE LIEUTENANT
. LAST YEAR. 28 YEAR OLD TERRELL
JOSIE WAS CONVICTED IN AUGUST ON
MANSLAUGHTER AND WEAPONS CHARGES
. THE SHOOTING HAPPENED BACK ON
JULY 5TH 2021 OVER ON ROCHESTER
ROAD IN TROY. PROSECUTORS SAY
JOSIE WAS THE PASSENGER IN AN
SUV THAT FOLLOWED LIEUTENANT
FRANCIS DOMBROWSKI. THINGS
ESCALATED NEAR A GAS STATION.
WYNDHAM BRODSKY WAS SHOT AND
KILLED. JOSIE WAS SENTENCED TO 7
TO 17 YEARS IN PRISON CITY OF
HIGHLAND PARK CONTINUES TO FIGHT
A WATER BILL CASE THAT THREATENS
ITS FINANCIAL FUTURE. MAYOR
HUBERT JAAP IS LOOKING TO
MICHIGAN’S SUPREME COURT TO HELP
THE CITY DODGE THAT CRUSHING
DEBT OF $24 MILLION LOCAL FORCE
RIDING ALONE IS LIVE WITH THE
UPDATE TONIGHT, RIGHT? IT SEEMS
LIKE THIS BATTLE HAS BEEN GOING
ON FOR YEARS NOW. RIGHT IT’S
WELL, IT’S ONE OF THE LONGEST
RUNNING COURT CASES GOING RIGHT
NOW. IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN’S
BEEN OVER 10 YEARS, MAYOR HUBERT
JAAP, AS YOU TALKED ABOUT IS
SAYING ESSENTIALLY THAT THE CITY
DOES NOT OWE THIS MONEY
SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY THAT MONEY
, WON A COURT CASE TO THAT
EFFECT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
BUT HERE’S THE THING. ANY
LITIGATION THAT GOES ON THIS
LONG IS NEVER THAT SIMPLE. WE
CAN’T QUIT. $20 MILLION WOULD
CRIPPLE US. IT WOULDN’T STOP US,
BUT IT WOULD CRIPPLE US.
HIGHLAND PARK IS ONE OF THE
STATE’S POOREST CITIES. IT’S
WATER PLANT SHUTTERED YEARS AGO
FOR POOR WATER QUALITY, AND
DURING THE DETROIT BANKRUPTCY,
BATTLED WITH THE NEW WATER
AUTHORITY OVER UNPAID BILLS AND
MAJOR HUBERT YACHT CLAIMS. NOT
ONLY DOES THE CITY NOT ALL THE
CASH, HE SAYS LAND BANKS OWNING
A LOT OF THE CITY’S VACANT
HOUSING STOCK DOES INSTEAD. SO A
LOT OF THE DEBT THAT THEY’RE
TALKING ABOUT. IT’S NOT EVEN OUR
DEBT IS TO COUNTY AND THE STATE
YET THAT’S NOT HOW A STATE
APPEALS COURT RULED BACK IN
AUGUST, LEAVING YOU GOT TO SAY
TODAY HE’LL APPEAL TO THE
SUPREME COURT, COUNTY DRAIN.
COMMISSIONER CANDICE MILLER SAYS
THE MAYOR’S ONLY MAKING THE
LAWYERS WEALTHY. IT’S NOT
SURPRISING, BUT YES, IT’S VERY
DISAPPOINTING AND REALLY WHAT I
WOULD ADVISE THE CITY OF
HIGHLAND PARK TO DO TO ASK THE
EMERGENCE ARE ASKED THE GOVERNOR
TO APPOINT AN EMERGENCY MANAGER
, QUITE FRANKLY, FOR A CITY
THAT’S UNFORTUNATELY BUT
OBVIOUSLY DYSFUNCTIONAL.
HIGHLAND PARK RESIDENT TERESA
WILLIAMS SAYS THE STATE STEPPING
IN IS PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA. I
WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE
ABLE TO HELP. I DON’T KNOW IF
THAT’S THAT RESPONSIBILITY, BUT
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP IN. LIKE
YOU HAVE 100 AND 10 COMMUNITY
THAT ARE MEMBERS OF THE GREAT
LAKES WATER AUTHORITY. EVERYBODY
IS PAYING THEIR WATER AND SEWER
BILLS EXCEPT ONE HIGHLAND PARK,
BUT THAT’S NOT FAIR, AND IT’S
NOT SUSTAINABLE. NO YEAH, BUT
SAYS HE’S GOING TO APPEAL TO THE
STATE SUPREME COURT. BUT THEY
HAVEN’T DONE SO OFFICIALLY. YET
THEY HAVE ABOUT 30 DAYS LEFT TO
BE ABLE TO DO THAT. IN THE
MEANTIME, WHILE THE CASE IS
WINDING THROUGH THE COURTS, THE
BILL STILL NEED TO GET PAID, AND
CANDICE MILLER SAYS THEY COME
JANUARY FEBRUARY, THE GREAT
LAKES WATER AUTHORITY IS LIKELY
GOING TO HAVE TO RAISE RATES
AGAIN FOR ALL OF ITS CUSTOMERS
BECAUSE HIGHLAND PARK STILL IS
NOT PAYING ITS PORTION OF THE
BILL. REPORTING LIVE ROD MELONI
BACK TO YOU CONTINUES. OKAY,
RIGHT. THANKS. SHOULD HAVE HAD A
PRETTY NICE OCTOBER MONDAY. IF
YOU’RE HOPING FOR MAYBE ONE MORE
DOSE OF 70 DEGREES, WE MAY BE IN
LUCK. SO LET’S GET OVER TO KIM
ADAMS FOR A LOOK AT THE
FORECAST. KIM, YOU ARE IN LUCK.
IN FACT, WE’LL HAVE A COUPLE OF
70 DEGREE DAYS. MAYBE AS MANY AS
THREE. I’LL SHOW YOU THAT IN A
MOMENT, BUT RIGHT NOW 66 CURRENT
TEMPERATURE AT CITY AIRPORT JUST
A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL. WE SHOULD
BE AT LEAST AROUND 67 DEGREES
THIS EVENING. IF YOU HAVE SOCCER
PRACTICE BASEBALL, WHATEVER IT
IS ONCE THAT SUN SETS JUST AFTER
SEVEN O’CLOCK, IT GETS COLD
QUICKLY. SO YOU ARE GOING TO
WANT TO DRESS FOR THAT, AS IT
DROPS DOWN INTO THE FIFTIES BY
10 O’CLOCK TONIGHT IN THE
FORTIES AT MIDNIGHT BUS STOP
TOMORROW MORNING. NOT QUITE AS
COLD AS IT WAS THIS MORNING, 42
IN THE CITY THIRTIES IN THE
SUBURBS, BUT THEN IN THE
AFTERNOON, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE
WHEN THE KIDS GET HOME FROM
SCHOOL AND ABOUT 69 DEGREES,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TEMPERATURE
TREND OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS
SEVENTIES FOR TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY AS LONG AS THE COLD
FRONT COMES THROUGH WHEN IT’S
PREDICTED TO COME THROUGH ON
THURSDAY, IT DOES LOOK LIKE
WE’LL GET BACK UP TO 71 DEGREES
AND THEN RAIN. THURSDAY NIGHT
AND FRIDAY AND MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURE A HIGH FRIDAY OF
ONLY 54 TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL OF
OUR UP AND DOWN WHETHER THE BEST
WAY TO DO IT WHEN WE’RE NOT ON A
BROADCAST IS WITH OUR FOREWARN
WEATHER APP. YOU JUST GO TO THE
APP STORE AND DOWNLOAD THE
FOREWARN WEATHER APP TODAY.
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, KIM.
SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS
REMAIN ACTIVE TONIGHT IN THE
HARDEST HIT AREAS AFTER
HURRICANE IAN THE STORM NOW
BEING BLAMED FOR 100 DEATHS IN
FLORIDA FOUR IN NORTH CAROLINA.
MEANTIME, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
VISITING PUERTO RICO TODAY,
WEEKS AFTER HURRICANE FIONA
RAVAGED THAT TERRITORY. HE IS
EXPECTED TO VISIT FLORIDA A
LITTLE LATER THIS WEEK. MORE
THAN 600,000 CUSTOMERS IN
FLORIDA STILL DO NOT HAVE POWER
TONIGHT. OFFICIALS HOPE TO HAVE
POWER RESTORED BY THE END OF THE
WEEK. WE’VE SEEN METRO
DETROITERS TRYING TO HELP IN ANY
WAY THEY CAN ARE SHAWN LEY JUST
SPOKE WITH A LOCAL MAN WHO DROVE
DOWN OVER THE WEEKEND TO FORD
MYERS SHAWN LEY. KAREN YEAH.
ERIN CUMMINGS FROM HERE, GOT TO
THE HARD HIT AREA WHERE HE HAS A
HOUSE THAT HE’S LOOKING AFTER
HIS TODAY’S FIRST FULL DAY,
ESSENTIALLY AND YES, THE
INCREDIBLE DAMAGE STANDS OUT,
BUT SOMETHING REALLY POSITIVE
ALSO STANDING OUT TO HIM
TONIGHT. IT SENT A MESSAGE TO A
FRIEND OF MINE SAYING, HEY, IT
LOOKS OKAY. AND THEN I SENT A
MESSAGE ABOUT A MINUTE LATER AND
I SAID, NEVER MIND. I JUST SAW
ABOUT 10 30 FT TREES LAYING ON
THEIR SIDES. CUMMINGS FROM METRO
DETROIT, BUT SELLING HIS HOME IN
FORT MYERS WATCHED HURRICANE IAN
ROAR IN FROM HIS DOORBELL CAMERA
RIGHT AWAY, AND HE LOADED UP HIS
PICKUP TRUCK WITH SUPPLIES TO
HELP ANYONE IN HIS OLD FLORIDA
NEIGHBORHOOD AND DROVE STRAIGHT
DOWN OVER THE WEEKEND. I GOT TO
AROUND PUNTA GORDA, IT LOOKS
LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF THE GROUND
, THOUGH, IS IT’S YOU KNOW, IT’S
LIKE DEGREES OF LOSS. I’VE BEEN
IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH ALL MY
FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND IT’S DID
YOU LOSE A TREE? DID YOU LOSE
THE LANAI ON YOUR POOL? DID YOU
LOSE YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE? BUT THE
COMMON THREAD IS EVERYBODY LOST
SOMETHING. TREES ARE DOWN AT
CUMMINGS HOUSE, A ROOF RIPPED
OFF HIS BARN. THE POWER OF THE
STORM STANDING OUT BUT WHAT IS
ALSO STANDING OUT TODAY THERE’S
BEEN AN OBVIOUS SHIFT FROM THE
CHECK INS LIKE HEY, HOW ARE YOU,
TOO? HEY, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
AND EVERYBODY IS THERE.
EVERYBODY’S OFFERING ANYTHING,
EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW. SO LIKE I
SAID, BEFORE, WITH THE DEGREES
OF LOSS, EVERYBODY LOST
SOMETHING IN THE PEOPLE WHO ONLY
LOST TREE IN THEIR YARD. IF
THEIR HOUSE IS STILL STANDING.
THEY’VE GOT SPARE ROOMS FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR WHOLE
HOUSE. ERIN CUMMINGS, ONE OF
THOSE PEOPLE WHOSE HOUSE IS
STANDING DIDN’T SUFFER TOO MUCH
DAMAGE AND ALSO HE HAS OPENED
HIS DOORS TO THOSE WHO DO NEED
TO STAY THERE, AND PEOPLE ARE
TAKING HIM UP ON THAT WILL BE
DOWN IN HIS OLD NEIGHBORHOOD,
HELPING OTHER NEIGHBORS. AS LONG
AS THEY NEED THAT HELP. WE’RE
LIVE TONIGHT. SHAWN LEY LOCAL 4
BACK TO YOU APPRECIATE ERIN
HELPING OUT ALL THOSE NEIGHBORS.
GREAT STORY. THANK YOU, SEAN.
MEANTIME SEVERAL ISLANDS WERE
CUT OFF BY HURRICANE IAN IN
TERMS OF CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS
. SOME PEOPLE STILL HAVEN’T BEEN
ABLE TO SPEAK WITH LOVED ONES.
BUT THERE IS A SPECIAL
AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE ACTUALLY
TRAVERSING LAND AND WATER TO TRY
AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT
STORY AND MUCH MORE ON THE
RECOVERY EFFORTS FROM HURRICANE
IAN AHEAD AT 6 30 ON NBC NIGHTLY
NEWS WITH LESTER HOLT, IT WON’T
COST YOU MORE THE NEXT TIME YOU
NEED TO FILL UP YOUR GAS TANK
AND HURRICANE IAN IS PARTLY TO
BLAME FOR THE SPIKE PRICES IN
MICHIGAN JUMPED 23 CENTS OVER
THE LAST WEEK TO AN AVERAGE OF 4
17 ACROSS THE STATE. THAT’S 33
CENTS MORE THAN THIS TIME LAST
MONTH. TRIPLE A, SAYS OIL PRICES
INCREASED LAST WEEK WHEN SOME
PRODUCTION IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
WAS PUT ON HOLD BECAUSE OF
HURRICANE IAN. EXPERTS SAY THE
DEADLY REFINERY EXPLOSION AND
TOLEDO IS ALSO CONTRIBUTING
ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES IN THE
MIDWEST. EXPERTS THINK PRICES
