CHUR IN MICHIGAN, WHERE SHE FINDS HERSELF IN TROUBLE BEGINS WITH THE $180 PER TAXPAYER
PAYMENTS TO DO THAT REPUBLICANS
LIKE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER ERIC
NESBIT SAYS THE GOVERNOR IS
GOING TO END AROUND STATE LAW
AND SHOVE $800 MILLION IN THE
LAST YEAR’S BUDGET, PREVENTING A
TRIGGER THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY
AND PERMANENTLY LOWER THE STATE
INCOME TAX. IT WOULD PREVENT AN
ANNUAL TAX CUT THAT WOULD EQUAL
OVER $600 MILLION A YEAR. AND
OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, THERE’D
BE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BE
GOING BACK INTO SMALL BUSINESSES
AND TO FAMILIES AND WORKING
SENIORS POCKETS. THE NEXT TURTLE
IS THE EXPANDED EARNED INCOME
TAX CREDIT OR WHAT THE GOVERNOR
IS CALLING THE WORKING FAMILIES
TAX CREDIT THE GOVERNOR SITES
$3000 BACK PER FAMILY BENEFITING
700,000, MICHIGAN FAMILY’S HOUSE
MINORITY LEADER MATT HALL SAYS
HER NUMBER IS NOT NEARLY AS
GENEROUS AS IT SOUNDS. 2300 OF
THAT 3000. THEY’RE ALREADY
GETTING BECAUSE THERE IS A
FEDERAL EARNED INCOME. TAX
CREDIT. SO ON AVERAGE. IT’S THAT
$700. THAT THESE AVERAGE WORKING
FAMILIES IN MICHIGAN ARE
RECEIVING. NOW HERE’S THE OTHER
THING. THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE
UPDATED ME ON THIS TODAY BECAUSE
I ASKED VERY SPECIFICALLY ABOUT
THE PENSION TAX, AND THEY ARE
TELLING ME OUT OF THE GOVERNOR’S
OFFICE THAT IT IS GOING TO COVER
BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PENSIONS
AND ALSO BELIEVE IT OR NOT. FOUR
OH ONE K CONTRIBUTIONS FROM YOUR
EMPLOYER. THAT’S THE EMPLOYER
MATCH. NOW WE’LL SEE IF THIS ALL
GETS THROUGH. IT’S SOMETHING
WE’RE CERTAINLY GOING TO BE
FOLLOWING AS IT MAKES ITS WAY
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE. BACK TO
YOU. YOU’RE GONNA BE BACK WITH
US AT SIX. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
PLANNED FOR US. OKAY WELL, THE
GOVERNOR IS DOING A LOT WITH
EDUCATION $19 BILLION WORTH, AND
SO WE’RE GOING TO GO OVER THAT
AND GET A LOOK AT WHERE THAT IS,
AND ALSO HOW THE REPUBLICANS ARE
REACTING TO THAT. ALL RIGHT,
ROD, WE’LL SEE YOU. THEN TONIGHT
WE’RE WAITING WORD ON FUNERAL
ARRANGEMENTS FOR CARTIER WOODS.
WOODS WAS TAKEN OFF LIFE SUPPORT
AFTER GOING INTO CARDIAC ARREST
DURING A BASKETBALL GAME.
TUESDAY AT DETROIT NORTHWESTERN
HIGH SCHOOL. THE DISTRICT SAYS
HIS FAMILY MADE THE DECISION
AFTER HIS VITAL SIGNS SHOWED NO
IMPROVEMENT TONIGHT. THE FBI
SAYS THE DRIVER CHARGED WITH
HITTING AND KILLING A 22 YEAR
OLD MICHIGAN STATE STUDENT HAS
LEFT THE COUNTRY. POLICE SAY HIM
HOUSING HIT BENJAMIN CABLE IN
THE EARLY HOURS OF NEW YEAR’S
DAY AND DAYS LATER TOOK OFF TO
THAILAND. BRINGING VICTOR
WILLIAMS. THERE ARE NOW STATE
AND FEDERAL CHARGES. IN THIS
CASE, VICTOR YES, THAT IS
CORRECT, EVAN AND KIMBERLY, AND
THERE’S A CHANCE THAT SHE COULD
BE FACING FIVE YEARS BEHIND BARS
FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE COUNTS.
BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH
THE PROCESS OF HER BEING BROUGHT
BACK HERE TO THE U. S. YOU KNOW,
I HAVE A LOT OF MIXED EMOTIONS.
REALLY GLAD THAT THEY KNOW WE’RE
ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHO DID IT.
AND WHAT HAPPENED. THE NEWS OF A
FEDERAL WARRANT BEING FOUND
AGAINST 57 YEAR OLD TUBMAN HASEN
IS AT LEAST A BIT OF HOPE THAT
JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED FOR BEN
CABLES. FATHER MICHAEL. THINGS
JUST HAVEN’T BEEN THE SAME SINCE
BEN WAS KILLED ON NEW YEAR’S DAY
WHILE WALKING ACROSS ROCHESTER
ROAD AROUND 5:46 A.M. DIFFICULT
TO UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEONE KEN
JUST DRIVE AWAY AND LEAVE
SOMEBODY DYING ON THE ROAD.
AUTHORITIES HAVE NOW IDENTIFIED
THE DRIVER OF A BMW 3 25 THAT
HIT BEN IS HOUSING, WHO ALSO
GOES BY SUE. TURNS OUT SHE WAS
ON HER WAY TO WORK AT A
BIRMINGHAM GROCERY STORE AT THE
TIME OF THE CRASH, BUT PANICKED
AND FLED BACK TO THAILAND. JUST
DAYS LATER, OAKLAND COUNTY
UNDERSHERIFF CURTIS CHILD SAYS
IT’S ALL THANKS TO TIPS FROM THE
INVESTIGATION. WE HAVE AWARD FOR
HER ARREST. WE’VE REACHED OUT IN
PARTNER WITH THE FBI TO TRY AND
EXTRADITE HER BACK FROM THAILAND
AS A RESULT, HOUSE AND IS NOW
FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES. LOCALLY
IT’S A FIVE YEAR FELONY OF
FAILURE TO STOP AT THE SCENE OF
AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DEATH.
AND NOW IT’S A FEDERAL CHARGE OF
FLEEING THE COUNTRY TO AVOID
PROSECUTION. ALSO A FIVE YEAR
FELONY, AS WELL AS CROSS OUR
FINGERS AT THIS POINT THAT WE
GET SOME JUSTICE. AND WE KNOW
THAT MICHAEL WANTS UBER HELD
ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL. HE SAYS
THAT BEN WAS TAKING AN UBER TO
AND FROM A PARTY WHEN ALL OF
THIS HAPPENED, BUT FOR SOME
REASON ON THE WAY BACK HOME WAS
KICKED OUT OF THAT UBER,
ULTIMATELY LEADING TO ALL OF
THIS HAPPENING, VICTOR WILLIAMS
LOCAL FORM RIGHT VICTOR HENRY
FORD HEALTH, MICHIGAN STATE
UNIVERSITY AND THE DETROIT
PISTONS, ANNOUNCING A COLLECTIVE
$2.5 BILLION INVESTMENT IN THE
NEW CENTER AREA IS BIG NEWS
TODAY. IT MEANS A NEW HOSPITAL
AND A WHOLE LOT MORE IS COMING
TO NEW CENTER. JASON COLTHORPE
HAS THE FIRST LOOK AT WHAT WILL
BE A MAJOR PROJECT OVER THE NEXT
FEW YEARS. LET ME JUST TRY AND
GIVE YOU A LITTLE GEOGRAPHIC
PERSPECTIVE ON ALL OF THIS. I’M
AT DETROIT PISTONS HEADQUARTERS
HERE ON SECOND STREET. THIS IS
GOING TO BE A MILLION SQUARE
FEET OF DEVELOPMENT. AND IT GOES
OVER TO THIRD STREET. IT GOES ON
BOTH SIDES OF WEST GRAND
BOULEVARD. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THIS, AND OVER THERE IS WHERE
THE CROWN JEWEL OF ALL OF THIS
WILL BE, WHICH IS A NEW HENRY
FORD HOSPITAL. THE TIME IS NOW
TO GIVE THIS WORLD CLASS CITY, A
WORLD CLASS ACADEMIC MEDICAL
CENTER AND HENRY FORD HEALTH
WILL BE DOING IT IN THE VERY
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE IT BUILT ITS
FIRST HOSPITAL MORE THAN 100.
YEARS AGO, THIS HEALTH CAMPUS
WILL FEATURE A NEW ER AND
PATIENT TOWER AND CONNECT THE
OLD AND NEW BUILDINGS BY TUNNELS
AND BRIDGES AND WALKWAYS.
THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE THE
ADVANTAGES OF WORLD CLASS
ENVIRONMENTS. PRIVATE ROOM STATE
OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY IN THOSE
ROOMS AND ABILITY TO BRING
FAMILIES INTO THE CARE PROCESS
IN A REALLY MEANINGFUL WAY. THIS
IS NOT THE BUILDING OF A
HOSPITAL. THIS IS THE BUILDING
OF A WORLD CLASS MEDICAL
INSTITUTION IN AN ACADEMIC
SETTING TIED INTO THE COMMUNITY
. I MEAN, THIS IS TRULY
VISIONARY. WHAT WE’RE WE’RE
SEEING OTHER SURROUNDING
BUILDINGS WILL BE CONVERTED INTO
RETAIL SPACE. NEW HOUSING. AND
EVEN SOME RESTAURANTS. IT’S A
VISION THAT BEGAN FOR ITS
HARMONY, FIRST PURCHASED THE
PISTONS AND HAS GUIDED HIM EVER
SINCE. IT DROVE ARE MOVED BACK
TO DETROIT, WHICH HAS BEEN GREAT
FOR OUR TEAM. FOR OUR FANS AND
FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR MICHIGAN
STATE, IT AMPLIFIES THE
UNIVERSITY’S PRESENCE IN METRO
DETROIT WITH A RESEARCH SCIENCE
CENTER AND ITS MEDICAL COLLEGES
FROM OUR STUDENTS AND FACULTY TO
THE HEALTH CARE THAT WE CAN
DELIVER. WE THINK THIS IS A
REALLY EXCITING NEW STEP FOR ALL
OF US, SO THEY’LL BREAK GROUND
ON THIS MONSTER PROJECT NEXT
YEAR. WHEN WILL THEY FINISH IT?
THAT’S KIND OF ANYBODY’S GUESS
WHAT THEY’RE HOPING SOMETIME
OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. THE
PISTONS AREN’T TELLING TELLS ME
LET’S HOPE A LITTLE LESS THAN
THAT. WE’RE A NEW CENTER TODAY.
JASON COLTHORPE LOCAL 4. THAT’S
GREAT NEWS IN TODAY’S
