WHY FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. FOR NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. AFTER MONTHS OF UNCERTAINTY,
MICHIGAN’S HIGHEST COURT RULING
TONIGHT THAT THE VOTERS WILL
DECIDE THE ISSUE OF ABORTION IN
MICHIGAN. THANKS FOR STAYING UP
WITH US. THE RULING BREAKS THE
TIE BY THE BOARD OF CANVASSERS.
THEY WERE DEADLOCKED LAST WEEK,
ALTHOUGH ALONG PARTY LINES
VOTERS PASSED THE PROPOSAL IN
NOVEMBER. IT WOULD MAKE IT A
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT FOR WOMEN
TO GET AN ABORTION IN MICHIGAN.
JASON COLTHORPE IS GETTING
REACTION TO THE RULING TONIGHT
AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE
OVERALL ELECTION. JASON YEAH,
LET’S KILL KIM. LET’S FIRST
START WITH REACTION, WHICH WAS
SWIFT AND PASSIONATE. ATTORNEY
GENERAL DANA NESSEL, SAYING THIS
AND OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF
MICHIGANDERS SIGNED PETITIONS TO
BRING THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE THE
VOTERS OF OUR STATE AND THEIR
VOICES SHOULD NOT BE
EXTINGUISHED BY TWO UNELECTED
PARTISAN BOARD MEMBERS. THE
MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN PARTY,
CALLING IT A DERELICTION OF THE
COURT’S DUTY. THE RULINGS NOW
ALLOW FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF
ERROR RIDDEN DOCUMENTS TO BE
ENSHRINED INTO OUR STATE
CONSTITUTION. MICHIGAN DOCTORS
HOPING THIS WILL PASS QUOTE SO
THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO HELP OUR
PATIENTS MAKE THE DEEPLY
PERSONAL AND PRIVATE DECISIONS
AROUND PREGNANCY AND ABORTION.
WITHOUT POLITICIANS DECIDING FOR
THEM. AND THIS TWEET FROM
REPUBLICAN GUBERNATORIAL
CANDIDATE TUTOR DIXON AND JUST
LIKE THAT, YOU CAN VOTE FOR
GRETCHEN WHITMER IS ABORTION
AGENDA AND STILL VOTE AGAINST
HER. GRETCHEN TIME TO STOP
HIDING BEHIND YOUR BS. ADS
SHOULD ABORTION BE LEGAL? WE’VE
NEVER HAD THAT DEBATE HERE IN
MICHIGAN, AND NOW WE WILL LOCAL
4 POLLSTER RICHARD ZUMA’S DATA
SHOWS. THIS PROPOSAL HAS A GOOD
CHANCE OF PASSING THIS POLLS
VERY STRONGLY BY 2 TO 1. MARGINS
THAT VOTERS DO WANT TO PUT IN A
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION
. THOSE VOTERS BEING LIKELY
DEMOCRATS AND SOME POLITICAL
INSIDERS SAY THAT MEANS
REPUBLICANS NOW HAVE TO GO ON
THE OFFENSIVE. MUCH WILL DEPEND
ON HOW STRONGLY THE REPUBLICANS
ARE PARTICULARLY TUTOR DICKS AND
RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR CAN MAKE
THE CASE. THAT IN FACT, THIS
BALLOT PROPOSAL IN NOVEMBER IS
EXTREMELY. NOW THIS SHOULD ALL
BECOME OFFICIAL TOMORROW IN THE
STATE BOARD OF CANVASSERS MEETS
AGAIN TO CERTIFY THOSE
SIGNATURES AND PUT THIS ON THE
BALLOT AS PER THE COURTS WISHES
AND WE WILL BE FOLLOWING
KIMBERLY. WE WILL. ALL RIGHT,
JASON. WE APPRECIATE IT. SUPREME
COURT ALSO RULING TONIGHT A
BALLOT PROPOSAL TO EXPAND VOTING
RIGHTS AND VOTING ACCESS IN THE
STATE WILL ALSO BE ON THE
NOVEMBER BALLOT. STATE BOARD OF
CANVASSERS DEADLOCKED ON THAT
DECISION LAST WEEK TO PROPOSAL
WOULD REQUIRE NINE DAYS OF EARLY
IN PERSON VOTING AND CONTINUE TO
ALLOW REGISTERED VOTERS TO CAST
BALLOTS WITHOUT AN I D AS LONG
AS THEY SIGN AN AFFIDAVIT. THAT
DECISION WAS ALSO MADE IN A VOTE
OF 5 TO 2 BY THE HIGH COURT.

NOVEMBER BALLOT. TRIBUTES ARE

THE SECOND BRITAIN’S LONGEST
SERVING MONARCH, AND A GLOBAL

THAT’S TOMORROW ON LOCAL 4 NEWS
AT SIX A.M. BACK HERE THIS WEEK
. CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN EAST
POINT ABRUPTLY ENDS AFTER JUST
17 MINUTES. IT WAS THE CITY’S
MAYOR AT THE CENTER OF ALL THE
DRAMA. YOU ARE OUT. YOU ARE OUT
OF LINE. YOU ARE OUT OF LINE
BORDER OUT OF LINE OF ORDER OUT
OF LINE. YOU ARE OUT OF LINE
NOW. DO YOU WANT TO THAT MOMENT
FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS MADE THE
DECISION TO LEAVE THE MEETING
CHAMBERS. MEGAN WOODS LIVE
TONIGHT IN EAST POINT IS A LOT
TO SORT THROUGH HERE, THOUGH,
INCLUDING ALLEGATIONS FROM THE
MAYOR AGAINST ONE OF THE COUNCIL
MEMBERS MEGAN FROM MONTHS AGO.
THAT’S RIGHT, DEVIN. THIS ALL
STEMS FROM AN ALLEGED ASSAULT
THAT HAPPENED BACK IN JUNE AT
CRUISING GRATIOT BETWEEN THE
MAYOR AND COUNCILMAN CURLY AND
THE MAYOR REQUESTED A PP. OH,
THAT’S STILL GOING THROUGH THE
COURT SYSTEM. BUT IT’S WHAT LED
TO THE MOMENTS THAT YOU’RE ABOUT
TO SEE. HECTIC UNORGANIZED OUT
OF HAND. THAT’S THE MAYOR AND
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS DESCRIBING
TUESDAY’S MEETING STARTED WITH
THIS FIRST PUBLIC COMMENT, I’M
HERE. AND SUPPORT. COUNCILMAN
CURLY THE MAYOR INTERRUPTS.
OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? I’M HAPPY
RIGHT THERE. REMEMBER HARVEY
CURLEY SAID IT CAME AS A SHOCK.
ONE THING FOR COUNCIL PEOPLE IN
THE MIRROR, TOO. ARGUE OR
DISAGREE WITH SOMETHING, BUT
IT’S A IT’S A THING AGAIN WHEN
YOU START DOWNGRADING OUR
CITIZENS. BUT MAYOR MONIQUE OWEN
SAID SHE WAS TRYING TO BRING
ORDER TO THE MEETING. SHE SAYS
THE FIRST SPEAKER WAS WITH
OTHERS BEFORE THE MEETING WITH
SIGNS OUTSIDE SUPPORTING
COUNCILMAN CURLY KNOWING HOW
THAT PERSON HAS CONDUCTED
THEMSELVES SEVERAL TIMES AND
MEETINGS AND OUTSIDE OF MEETINGS
. I WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE
BEFORE SHE CONTINUED TO TALK,
WHICH I LETTERS SEAT, BUT THIS
IS HOW THE REST OF THE MEETING
SHOULD GO. ATTORNEY WAS ASKED TO
CLARIFY WHAT’S ALLOWED AT PUBLIC
COMMENT. IF IT’S GOING TO GET
INTO AN ISSUE OF RACIAL
ACCUSATIONS SOMETHING ALONG
THOSE LINES, THEN THE MAYOR HAS
CERTAINLY HAS THE RIGHT TO AS
THE CONTROLLER OF THE MEETING TO
SHUT THAT DOWN, THAT COMMUNITY
MEMBER WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE.
THEN OTHER PEOPLE CAME UP TO
SPEAK, AND THAT’S WHEN THINGS
ESCALATED. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
THIS IS A PERSONAL MATTER. IT’S
NOT ABOUT CRITICIZING. YOU CAN
CRITICIZE MY POLICIES. YOU’LL
STOP IT. I DON’T THINK THAT WAS
THE PLACE TO REVICTIMIZE ME. TO
USE THAT AS A PLACE OF MOCKERY,
AND I WANT NOTHING TO DO THAT TO
ANYONE. BUT COUNCIL MEMBERS SAY
THAT’S NOT THE POINT. THAT’S WHY
THEY ALL WALKED OUT. THE ONLY
WAY WE COULD END. THE MEETING IS
BY NOT HAVING A QUORUM AND
LEAVING THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL
MEETING IS IN TWO WEEKS AND
EVERYONE WE SPOKE TO HOPE IT’S
NOT A REPEAT OF TUESDAY NIGHT’S
MEETING. NOW THAT P P O REQUEST
IS STILL GOING THROUGH THE COURT
SYSTEM, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, BUT
A JUDGE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A
DECISION IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
LEBANESE POINT I’M MEGAN WOODS,
LOCAL 4 SOME KIND OF NIGHT.
ALRIGHT, MEGAN. THE STRIKE AT
EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
CONTINUES TODAY AND IT LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL END UP IN COURT. IN
COURT FILINGS. BOTH SIDES ARE
BATTLING OVER WHETHER THE STRIKE
IS LEGAL. THE UNION REPRESENTING
500 FACULTY MEMBERS VOTED TO
STRIKE TUESDAY NIGHT. NEITHER
SIDE CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON
A NEW CONTRACT CLASSES, THOUGH,
ARE CONTINUING, THOUGH MANY HAVE
BEEN CANCELED BECAUSE PROFESSORS
ARE ON THE PICKET LINE. WE’LL
KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE
NEGOTIATIONS INVESTIGATION INTO
THE DEADLY SHOOTING OF A PIZZA
DELIVERY DRIVER NOW INCLUDES TWO
OTHER ROBBERIES. PATRICK HIGGINS
WAS SHOT. ON AND KILLED WHILE
DELIVERING A PIZZA TO A VACANT
HOME. AND THEN YOUR AVENUE ON
DETROIT’S WEST SIDE TO OTHER
DELIVERY DRIVERS HAVE ALSO COME
FORWARD, SAYING THEY, TOO, WERE
CALLED TO THAT HOME AND THEN
ROBBED AT GUNPOINT. WHEN THEY
ARRIVED. THAT DRIVER WAS
APPROACHED BY TWO SUSPECTS, AND
THOSE SUSPECTS PRODUCED A
FIREARM AND DEMANDED THE VICTIMS
MONEY AND OTHER PROPERTY. POLICE
HAVE SENSE BOARDED UP THE HOME
AND ARE ASKING DELIVERY DRIVERS
TO ONLY GO TO WELL LIT AREAS.
